Whether you’re downsizing or thrill-seeking—or anything in between—find out if the RV lifestyle is right for you, and learn how to transition from a life of traditional home-ownership to one on the road.

Do you love traveling? Meeting new people and seeing new places? Are you craving a life that feels meaningful and new? The RV lifestyle could be the answer.

Both aspirational and practical, Living the RV Life is your ultimate guide to living life on the road—for people of all ages looking to downsize, travel, or work on the go. Learn if life in a motor home is right for you, with insightful details on the experiences of full-time RV-ers, tips for how to choose an RV (how big? new or used?), whether to sell your home (and if not, what to do with it), model costs, sample routes and destinations, basic vehicle maintenance, legal and government considerations—and much more! Written in a light and an easy-to-understand style, Living the RV Life is your bible to living a mobile life.

Packed with tips and resources

Loved that it wasn’t filled with”fluff” like some books are. It focuses on providing the information you are looking for. Some of the short personal stories about what other RVers have done is very helpful. I recommend this book.

Comprehensive and encouraging

For anyone contemplating living full-time on the road in an RV, this is essential information before taking any action in that direction. I'm about to take that step myself, having thought about it for several years, and the authors cover numerous aspects and concerns I hadn't (and probably wouldn't have) taken into consideration. It's not that the endeavor itself is so complicated, but there are lots of choices to make at the beginning, and a few wrong choices could be very expensive and discouraging.

For me, there's just one problem: The authors mention numerous resources and organizations throughout the book that could be helpful, but it's not always possible to write them down as the narration progresses, especially since I listen to audio books mostly while driving. A PDF file of those resources, including online URLs, books, organizations, and videos on various topics would be an invaluable download here, since it will be difficult if not impossible to find relevant and most important references again in the audio.

Otherwise, this is an excellent resource for planning and executing the RV life.

Great points throughout!

Good flow, order of info, and topics taught. Extensive and thought provoking section on finance and residency.
