  • great information in direct format
Format: Paperback
I like that this book is an easy read and gets to the point with the information I need. I like his writing style and I would recommend to everyone to keep in your RV.

  • A good starting point for learning about travel trailer ownership and use
Format: Paperback
I found this to be a very useful guide, especially for the reasonable price. The only item I would like to see discussed further in the next revision of this book is the treatment of black water in the holding tank. There seems to be two schools of thought: 1. Treat the holding tank like a septic system and take all possible actions to break down the waste and paper products before dumping. Add enzyme packets to the tank to facilitate breakdown and control odors. Use RV-specific toilet paper. 2. Treat the holding tank like... a holding tank. Keep all contents 'whole' so they don't break down into a sludge that clogs level sensors and is more difficult to drain. Add Pine-Sol disinfectant for odor control. Use any septic-safe toilet paper. Flush twice to keep the water / waste ratio high. I don't expect the author to necessarily choose one method over the other but I feel it's worth discussing to let new RV owners explore the option that they feel is most effective for their black water tank. I also appreciated the author's writing style. It made for an enjoyable read. ... show more

  • A very brief overview of travel trailers
Format: Paperback
It may be useful to those who know nothing about travel trailers, but I found this book to be very simplistic, with at least one instance of information I don't think is correct. I returned it.

  • Good read for the new and seasoned RVer
Format: Kindle
Easy to read and understand, and written with a good sense of humor as well. I may have to check out some of his other writings.
