Customer Reviews

GREAT BOOK

I got this book from the public library and couldn't put it down. I found it so valuable that after reading it, I am buying a copy of it to use as a reference book. It has great checklists for the new RVer and gives enough basics for the novice to be comfortable with his rig.

Great humor and information for all those new to Rving.

This book really helped me get an RV that made sense for me; I think that's the best part of the book--the details on how to choose an RV and how to learn to drive one. It's the only book that really shows you how to walk through a used RV to get one in good condition. I enjoyed all the personal notes about things that work and things that don't when you're RVing. You'll get a lot out of it.

Great book--and yes, it is perky.

I can't believe reviews that don't love this book. I've been using it all the time in my travels--and am axiously awaiting another RV book by the Bakers. It does have a good sense of humor--and the humor is based on the realities of RVing. Their information is right on, at least in my experience. Don't let a bad attitude turn you off to this book--it's a winner!

Everything I need to know in one handy book

I've thrown out all my other books and stopped looking for new ones on RVing. This book answered all my questions and more. I like the humor.....you have to have a sense of humor when you own an RV.....and I thought the content was much better than the Moeller's book. Anyone with an RV should have a copy on their bookshelf....and in their rv.

This book saved me from making a potentially deadly mistake!

Once I decided to purchase an RV, I began shopping. I started visiting the different dealers in my area and found myself confused about which type, brand and floorplan to choose. Then I learned about the prices, what a shock! I immediately went to the book store and chose this book. The book is filled with humor and written in plain understandable language for the beginner. The most important piece of information I learned from the book may have saved my family from a potentially deadly accident. The book discusses something called "payload", which no dealer ever mentioned to me while shopping. I am a chronic overpacker and did not realize that this could cause the RV to become overloaded and unstable. I recommend this book to those who are new to RVing and to those 'old timers' who do not understand the initials GVWR & GCWR.
