For anyone dreaming or considering the fulltime RV lifestyle, this is a must read. Between humorous e-mail accounts of their adventures from all three of them (Mark, Donia and Cleo the dog), the book is peppered with how-to's and explanations of how the full-time lifestyle works. And newbie or experienced RVer, you'll want pencil in hand to add new places to your list to visit. I particularly enjoyed reading about the regional foods and interesting restaurants and laughed, remembering the ajustments that must be made when downsizing into an RV. Great read!

A candid and personal look at an adventurous new lifestyle – living full-time on the road in a recreational vehicle. 1.5 million Americans live on the road. This book tells you what itÂ's like. There are thousands of retirees every year that are exchanging the stability of a permanent house for the adventure of a house of wheels Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take off in a camper one day and never come back? Steeles on Wheels chronicles a year in the life of a 50-something couple who are doing just that — living full-time in a 34-foot recreational vehicle. With humor and candor, Steeles on Wheels answers the most common questions about living on the road, such as managing money, getting along in close quarters, the issue of Â"legal residency,Â" big-rig driving skills, sewer hookups, how to choose campgrounds, living without a phone, getting mail, and much more. Also included are charts, checklists, and practical survival tips. E-mail letters to friends and family, along with some written from the sassy viewpoint of the traveling family dog, convey the delights of the ever-changing scenery and non-stop adventures of living in an RV. The book is an armchair travel guide to a daring, yet economical new lifestyle for the 21st century.

This book is written with a lot of first hand knowledge of all areas of living full time in an RV. It is also written for and by average people who do not have an unlimited income and therefore must keep an eye on the most efficient means to an end. They not only "talk the talk" but have "walked the walk" I have given away two other recent books on this subject, but I won't part with this one.

I bought both this book and "Inside America" (theother book that Amazon lists...I reviewed that too..don't bother withit!). This book is really nice. It was so well thought out: 1. There are color pictures of what you would see in some of the factories. 2. It tells you whether you actually get to TOUR the factory or whether you will be looking through a window or a watching a video. 3. Tells whether you get freebies. 4. At first I was disappointed because there were so few entries for CT and NJ but when I read the beginning of the book they explained EXACTLY the reason for some states having so few and how they picked the tours for the book. 5. Each tour has like 4-5 paragraphs dedicated to describing it. 6. Tells cost. 7. Tells you anything "special" you might need to know like: the CRAYOLA tour in PA is first come first serve so you might get there and not be allowed in (I personally know of 5 people this happened to... so I specifically checked to see if this would be mentioned). 8. This was geared towards the average person...and specifically families.
I'm crazy when it comes to details and I was thrilled that these people were too. I was very impressed when things would be in parenthesis saying they double checked all information but that you should still call ahead. END
