section will feature books that I have read and believe are helpful
to RVers. A lot of fulltimers supplement their gas money budget by
sharing what they've learned on the road with other fellow wanderers.
I think it's a good thing that we all support each other, so if you
saw it here, please tell them so! |

The
Woman's Guide to Solo RVing
|
|
I
get a lot of email from women saying they really want to travel,
but are afraid to take off solo. They admire my "courage"
but are convinced they couldn't do it themselves on their
own. No matter how much I say "If I can do it, so can
you," so many need more than just encouraging words.
Here's a guide Jaimie Hall and Alice Zyetz put together that
asks and answers questions you have and some you haven't even
thought of. I was honored to be asked to share some of my
own experiences for this book and enjoyed reading the experiences
of others. You have your choice of format - either a CD or
as an Ebook available for immediate download. For more info,
click the book!

Your RV Lifestyle - An Insider's Guide to Working on the Road |
The number one concern I hear from anyone with the dream
of RVing is how they can afford to support their travel
habit. Jaimie has done an impressive job of gathering resources
and inventive ideas for working and traveling, all updated
in 2011! Featuring profiles of actual working RVers, reading
their stories will inspire you and provide more than 350
ways to work and volunteer on the road. Opportunities exist
for volunteer work in exchange for RV sites. But what should
you take into account to see if this is the best route for
you to take? What do you need to know about working for
RV parks? What are the legal and tax implications? Find
out all this and more. As the book quotes, "We ought
to be able to learn some things second-hand. There is not
enough time to make all the mistakes ourselves." Limit
your chances of making mistakes by learning from these first-hand
experiences!

RV
Traveling Tales - Women's Journeys on the Open Road
|
| Fifty-two
women answer the question: What is it like to be a female nomad
on the open road, leaving family, community, and possessions
to head into the unknown in an RV? This anthology features the
writings of women of varied backgrounds, many living full-time
in their RVs, ranging in age from 13-85. They take a humorous
look at situations unique to the RVing lifestyle: living in
a small box on wheels, maneuvering a 38-foot RV, or surviving
bears and other calamities. On the road and away from the support
of family and friends, they also cope with life's issues—breast
cancer, divorce, loss of a child. |

Packing Tips
|
| Peggi
McDonald is an online buddy of mine and I've learned a
lot from reading her newsletter and various publications.
She spent a lot of time interviewing other RVers and culled
through their tips to present them here. |
|
A
few sections with loads of helpful hints:
|
| • |
Tips
for extending your living space, along with food storage
ideas. |
| • |
Cleaning
and maintenance tips. |
| • |
How
to find those hidden "empty" spaces and how
to fill them. |
| • |
Who
knew there were so many uses for dryer sheets? |
|
She
also shares many of the "RV Life Lessons"
she and John have learned (some the hard way, unfortunately)
during their more than 20 years on the road. You'll
be saying the same thing I did when I read these tips:
"Now why didn't I think of that???" Click
the book for more info.
