The Complete RV Handbook combines RVing fundamentals with advanced topics and innovative solutions that will appeal to America's 30 million RVers. It is based on Jayne’s extensive RVing experience and her interviews with hundreds of others. Jayne Freeman shows you how to select the most appropriate RV, plan for excursions of varying lengths, and arrange to be away from home for any length of time. Jayne offers tips for dealing with unexpected situations, and help in choosing the best destinations and avoiding the worst. Its goal is to help the reader get the most pleasure from the RV experience with the least hassles.
