Synopsis

Why do one in ten American households own an RV, and another one in ten families rent an RV each year? Why are 18% of all trips taken by people age 55 to 59 aboard an RV? Because for comfort-loving outdoorspersons who cringe at the thought of a night on a half-inch foam pad and a diet of freeze-dried wallpaper paste, RVs can be the Knight in Shining Stainless Steel. Among other advantages, RVs free travellers from the twin tyrannies of motels and roadfood. They provide comfortable, economical base-camp facilities for backcountry hikers, anglers, mountain bikers, rock hounds, or what have you. But RVs really shine as temporary, or even permanent, homes: spacious, resource-stingy, self-sufficient, homelike, and, most important, mobile. Tired of those Montana mountains and yearn for the Gulf of Mexico? Turn the key and be off. When you sight your first shrimp boat, you'll still be home - with all your stuff. The Groenes lived aboard their RV year-round for ten years, and still spend much of their time aboard. In this book, they provide a realistic portrait of RV living and help you decide whether it's the lifestyle for you. Then they provide all the information needed to make the break and successfully hit the road full time.
