A Practical Guide to Full-Time RV Living: Motorhome & RV Retirement Startup
A Practical Guide to Full-Time RV LivingMotorhome & RV Retirement Startup
Exactly six years ago my spouse Shirley and I have both retired from our previous careers, leaving us with quite a lot of extra time in a mostly empty house throughout the day. That’s when we decided we wanted to travel. The only problem was we did not know what the best way was to get from point A to point B.
Needless to say, we needed to find a way that was comfortable for the two of us, given our conditions; we did not want our sense of adventure to be limited by something as unimportant as physical pain, after all. That is when we spoke to our neighbors, old family friends who had just returned from an RV camping trip with another couple.
The more we learned about traveling in an RV, the more my wife and I were convinced that was the solution to our conundrum. We had some savings, we had the time, and we had the ability to go wherever we wanted in the world with the safety aspect of carrying a piece of home with you. Thus we decided to start our new life in an RV on the road.
We have been living the RV life for the last five years now, and I must admit that these five years are the best years of our life so far. I also must admit that not everything has been glorious and fun, yes, we have faced our fair share of problems and hiccups on various fronts, but looking back, they all were great learning experiences.
However, RV living isn’t just for retirees; it can be for anyone who wants to enjoy the freedom of living on the road although this doesn’t mean that full-time RV living is for everyone.
Whether you are retiring soon and want some adventure, have been retired for a while and want a change of scene, or simply want to change your way of life to something simpler, living full-time out of an RV can be your answer.
In this book, we are going to show you what is involved in RV living, how you can get started and what you need to do to live an affordable full-time life on the road while enjoying the wonderful sights. Hopefully, this book will help you avoid the rookie mistakes we had made when we started out and make your transition smoother and more enjoyable.

Great practical resource
I really found this book helpful for the newbie to RVing, like us! Great useful, practical information and tips I will definitely go back and refer to again multiple times when we get out and start using our new RV next year. It'll be a keeper resource in my RV library, for certain!

This book is a good first-person account of living in an RV full-time. It certainly is full of tips and advice. The book could have used a better editor, that is my one critique of this book.
