Living the RV Life: Your Ultimate Guide to Life on the Road Paperback – November 20, 2018

My husband and I have been part-time RV'ers for 7 years. Over those 7 years, we've put 30,000 miles on three RV's. (This is actually our 3rd RV and 21,600 of those miles has been on this one, over the past 4 years). We love RV'ing and experiencing the beauty of country. We love it so much, we plan is to go full time in about a year and a half. I'm a planner and I felt there was more to going full time than just jumping in the RV and leaving. I had a lot of questions and wasn't sure where to go for answers. So I turned to the internet.First ,I found the "RVLove blog". While I was on the blog, I was also having contact with Marc and Julie Bennet (the creators of the blog and this guide). They seemed to know what they were talking about. I felt I could trust what they were saying, based on what I already knew about RV'ing. They were very helpful answering my questions and suggested that I might like to take the course they developed, located on the blog. I did and I loved it! It was very informative and it went along with much of what I already knew about RV'ing. Once I knew that the Bennet's were coming out with a book, I got really excited. The book has even more information than the course. It's an easy read. It gives you a great starting point and answers all your questions. It tells you how to set yourself up for success on the road and how to choose the right RV. It helps you prepare emotionally for your new life, as well as how to stay connected with the life you leave behind. My favorites chapters are Chapter 2: Setting Yourself Up for Success (preparing and planning), Chapter 6: Living Fit and Healthy on the Road (Insurance and Safety), Chapter 8: Legally Speaking (determining domicile), and Chapter 9: Travel Destinations and Tip Planning (Tips, tools, resources.....I really love all of the resources!). The guide feels beautiful to the touch and the pictures are beautiful. I feel like I have all the answers to the questions I had. I would recommend this guide to anyone planning to RV full time. Once I started reading it, I didn't want to put it down. I was like a sponge! I have the pages marked with things I need to do to prepare for our full time life on the road!! Thanks Marc and Julie for putting this valuable resource together! You can tell you put your heart and soul into this guide! It's awesome! It's definitely something you should be proud of doing!

Whether you plan to travel for a short or long time, or have hopes of eventually living aboard, this book leads you through the many decisions and thought processes that you don't know you need to make yet. Gets you thinking about what to do with all your "stuff" and how to keep up with your mail service, etc. Helpful insight and life lessons revealed as well. Nice reading about an alternate lifestyle to consider if it makes sense for you and yours. Highly recommend when re-evaluating your future adventure plans.

My wife and I plan to go full-time RVing soon and I have been gathering information on the subject for almost two years now from all over the internet. I follow RVing blogs, YouTube RVers that are successful and educational, study forums on the subject, and basically read everything I can find about how to make this lifestyle successful. The authors of this book are one of the YouTube channels that I follow because they seem to be very informative and honest about their impressions of whatever subject they discuss on video or on their blog. So we went ahead and bought their book when it was released and my wife and I are very happy that we did. The level of helpful information is off the charts, it's super easy to read and follow, and the illustrations and pictures are very well done. In fact, one of the best things abut the book is that it basically verified many of the conclusions that I had come to by myself over the past couple of years that only came as a result of long hours of reading and study. So I can say with confidence that if you want to save yourself a lot of extra effort and time and still get the information about RVing that you want and need to know, just get this book. It is so worth the cost.

Pleasant read but very generalized. If you're looking for detail specific information, it's unlikely you will find it here. The book contains various links to several websites you may find useful but they are the same links you've probably visited via Google search

I have been following Marc and Julie (RVLove) since around 2013/2014, both on Facebook, and their blog, and most recently their RV Success school.This book is really well rounded, there is something in there for everyone, from which RV to buy, how to buy it and how to maintain it. it then goes onto living full time in your RV and how to manage that, what with health insurance and domicile issues. If you are not going to go full time though it doesn't mean this book isn't for you, there is just a wealth of knowledge that covers all aspects of RV-ing, like how to travel plan and where to stay.The book is really well laid out and easy to read. It is quite thick but only measures about 8"x10" so it won't take up much room for persons already living the RV lifestyleThe really wonderful part of this book is the photography of all the places Marc and Julie have been. It makes you go "Oh, look at that! I want to go there!"I really like this book, so pleased I purchased it

This beautiful book feels like a hug for my dreams! The full color photos give this book a fancy coffee table book feel. The content is so comprehensive though, that it’s more like a fantastic travel nomad reference book. Every time I pick it up I find another helpful nugget of travel plans wealth. I appreciate the realistic, honest assessment of what it takes to live on the road. No sugar coating. They give us many options to consider; not just the ones that worked for them. It’s obvious that the authors took great care to make sure that all kinds of travelers could benefit from this book. I don’t know if I will ever be able to live this travel dream that I’ve been fostering in my mind the past couple of years. I do know that this book makes me feel like I have a piece of this dream living with me in my home now; and at an incredible value. We’ll see how far that takes me. I love this book! I think you will love it too. Thank you so much to the authors!
