Dear Reader, Prepare yourself for a family trip to remember. Whether you own
an RV or are considering renting or purchasing one, this book can help you
make your trip worry free and full of wonderful memories. My family has been
RV traveling for more than fifteen years, starting from the time my eldest child
was just a toddler. We have found it to be a fun, economical, and memorable
way to travel. From the beaches of southern and central California, to the
cornfields of Iowa, we have traveled throughout the United States and Canada.
I’ll share with you all of my tips and checklists for planning and enjoying any
RV trip, whether close to home or farther afield. You’ll have the chance to get
close to nature, or to see your favorite theme park from an entirely new angle.
Having traveled in several different RVs over the years, from a fold-down trailer
to a large motorhome, I’ll help you plan for your individual needs, both now and
in the future. From budget travel to luxury accommodations, today’s RVs have it
all. So sit back, and let me help you get started on your best family vacation
ever!
