Some interesting information for a novice. There is quite a bit of focus on buying RVs and a large part of the book comprises descriptions of trips through parts of the States, so if you are renting in Canada, as we are / were, these may be of less relevance! Always the problem with buying on-line and not being able to flick the pages.
Format:Paperback
We've bought this book to help us plan a future RV trip in the USA. It covers all the basics, but is very focused on the different routes, and seems to be more geared up for people who own their own RV (we are planning to hire one as we are in the UK).
For us we have found it unfortunate that the routes covered in the book are not the ones we are planning to take, but they have given us a lot to think about, and the campground/RV parks recommendations are very useful. We are using these to help us budget our trip.

A really, really good book for dummies like me!
15 Oct 2002
Format:Paperback
I was initially struck by the early sections, which so clearly laid out all the elements of preparing for an RV vacation, including renting or buying, eating and sleeping on the road, and everything from cell phones to the pros and cons of carrying a gun. The remainder of the book has 14 trips around all parts of the US from New England to Florida, Route 66 to California, and the Northwest.
Very handy are details of attractions and campgrounds, which are laid out simply and enjoyable to read. Each trip has a detailed map showing the locations of campgrounds and things to don't want to miss. Anyone who's thinking about RVing will want to get this book.

Highly Recommended for New RVers!!
27 Oct 2006
Format:Paperback
A terrific book for anyone thinking about giving RVing a try. "RV Vacations for Dummies" opens with about a hundred pages of information on planning an RV vacation and about actually living in an RV. Some of the information in the first two parts of the book ("Getting Started" and "Ironing Out the Details") is a bit sketchy; however, it is more than adequate to get the traveler on the road. And that, after all, is really the point. Books are helpful in gathering the information needed to get started, but RVing is about "doing" . . . not just reading about "doing".
Our favorite parts of "RV Vacations for Dummies" are the 14 driving tours presented over nearly 200 pages in the latter part of the book. There is nothing like having a trip actually planned to stir up a severe case of "hitch itch" in the most experienced of RVers. The trips set forth in "RV Vacations" are enough to get even RVing "Old Timers" off of the sofa and onto the road.
We highly recommend this book for those new to RVing; however, even those with hundreds of thousands of RVing miles behind them will find value in these pages.

Helpful for Families
29 April 2007
Format:Paperback
Used this book before renting an RV out of our area (eg we flew to AZ, then rented RV), so we had to pack in advance. This book was the most helpful of the few I purchased. Packing Checklist and chapter on packing was invaluable. I would recommend this book to first time RV camping families!
