Living the RV Life: Your Ultimate Guide to Life on the Road

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!

My husband and I have been "Living the RV Life" full time since 2015, and had just bought our second RV when this book was launched in November of 2018. And you know what? I still read it, cover to cover. And I still learned things! *That* was unexpected. I now have some new travel planning apps and web sites in my arsenal, thanks to the Bennetts and their willingness to share their vast knowledge of the RV lifestyle. The book is well organized, engaging, and thorough, with eye-catching photography and inspiring first-person testimonials from a wide variety of singles, couples and families who have chosen to live and/or travel in an RV. We follow RV Love on several of their social media platforms, and we know what a busy year 2018 was for Marc & Julie. I think their next book should be called "Living the Vampire Life," because clearly they know how to survive without sleep!

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.

This book is a helpful introduction to the world of RVing.

While I've been researching full-time RV living for almost two years, there is no book like this one that pulls together so much information into one resource. Marc and Julie have researched (and lived) full-time RV living for years. This book confirms that I'm on the right track to sell my sticks & bricks to start this next chapter of my life. This is a MUST HAVE book for those who are very serious about full-time RVing. I've never given a five-star book rating before and they aren't paying me a dime for my book review. They REALLY care about full-timer RVers and I've already decided that I'm keeping this book in my future RV as a "go-to" reference while I'm on the road. If you're remotely thinking about full-time RVing, get this book.

This book is easily one of the top 3 RV guides out there. A great resource for both new and seasoned RVers to help with every aspect of RV planning, from the starting point with the seed of your idea to RV full time , to the plans, preparations and resources to help make your dreams a reality. This book is like the authors taking you by the hand and guiding you along on the journey. Very easy and enjoyable to read, I have placed so many bookmarks in my ebook that I can refer to again and again. Thank you Marc and Julie for an excellent resource. Read this one before you hit the road!!!

It’s a beautiful book. The information is pretty generic and high level. I thought it would break down specific information I needed, but it doesn’t do that at all. This is a great read or gift for someone just getting into RVing and looking for the most basic knowledge or inspiring stories. It was not worth my money.

Nice tips

Great read, keeps the interest high.

I’m so impressed with the amount of information that’s in this book covering all aspects of the RV lifestyle from practical to emotional considerations. It’s positive and inspiring but still realistic. Even though I’m looking at RVing in Australia and this is largely meant for a North American audience, much of the information is easily transferable to other continents. Highly recommended not just for the practical information but also for a lovely coffee table book.

If you are thinking about RV life on the road, this is a great book. Easy to read, very informative. Liked it so much, we bought the 2nd book written by the author.

I read a lot of books on the subject, but still learned a few things with that book. I'm thinking of buying the paper version.
