There’s always something new to learn about the RVing lifestyle. Thankfully, you’ll find many experienced RVers who can show you the ropes through well-written RV lifestyle books available on Amazon.
Not all RV lifestyle books are created alike, however. Recently a slew of “RVing life hacks” e-books have appeared on Amazon. Suspiciously all two dozen or so appear to be written by the same author, but each has a different nom de plume. We’d would share these books with you, but since we couldn’t locate any information about the credibility of the authors’ RVing experience, instead we’re spotlighting two RV lifestyle books by legitimate RVing authors with credibility.
