Reading List: Books about RVing
Hi Everyone!
I'm still just a "wannabe" full-time RVer. I'm determined to make it happen, eventually. In the mean time, I am following the advice many of you give which is to do my research and to read a lot about RVing to learn as much as I can.
I just bought a Kindle Paperwhite and want to put some E-books about RVing on it. I was surprised to see how many titles show up when I searched Amazon.com for titles that include the text "RV" ! I'm not sure how good some of these titles are., and I don't know if they are worth the money in this self publishing E-book world. So...
I'd be interested to hear from folks that have read any of these books and if so, would you reccomend it (or not).
The list below is sorted by authors first name (I was too lazy to retype it with last names first). It includes the current rating as shown on Amazon with the number of people's opinions included in the ratings shown in (). I've numbered the books to allow people to respond without too much typing... (example: "I've read #s 3,6,7 and would recommend only #6" or whatever) I'm alway skeptical of a rating on the amazon www page given by a single person, and you will notice that many of these have just 1.
Please feel free to add other titles as you see fit.
Thanks,
PJinHawaii
