I was disappointed that the book was not about how to live in an RV but rather about how to modify an RV. Admittedly, some of the changes improved living conditions. There were a few words on following local laws, using a commercial PO box, and draining water into the street, but mostly it was about upgrades for cheap RV equipment.

Nothing but straight forward advice for how to live in an RV full-time - goes over modifications for electric including solar panels. Would be a major bonus for folks with or considering a 95-96 Winnebago Rialta such as this man has and recommends for convenient parking and minimalist living.

Quick read, nice dream. Being married with kids who love the spacious house it will probably stay a dream for another decade or two.

Very informative. Could have been longer I think and with photos.

Nice little book. I liked the electrical explanations. Very hands on.

Much more of a "how-to" than a "why-to" book: definitely for the DIY types, though it gives those of us who aren't a deep appreciation for what it takes to make "van life" a reality. You have to almost entirely gut the "factory settings" of your vehicle.

Informative.

Interesting. I will consider the Rialta in my research. Sounds like a total gutting would be the order of the day.

Good info (some might be outdated), quick to read.

Not you're typical RV do's & don'ts

I was truly amazed at the choices available to RVers. The author not only made suggestions but when on to explain his rationale. Instead of being a boring how to book, I actually felt like I was there with him. Excellent book all around. Must read even if your not planning to live in your RV full time.

Great book that covers some good ideas for really upgrading and RV to be full time livable and off grid.

It's very specific, and very example based - but it's definitely a great springboard for anyone looking to do something similar.

I definitely recommend it if you at all have a strange fascination with RVs like I do.

Quick easy read - very focused on the author's first hand experience but some of the ideas should adapt well to other small RVs.

A bit of a fair weather experience as well, as nothing about northern state winter RVing.

That's ok - best the author not fake it.

Ever wondered about living in a small RV? This is how...

[Joshua · Rating 4 out of 5]

Targeted at full time users, and many tips targeted specifically at the model of RV the author owns, but still extremely useful. Quick read and well worth a few dollars.
