A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Imagine yourself shopping for an RV. The variety is bewildering, and the costs can be substantial. What size do you need? What features are you looking for? What are the pros and cons of certain accommodations and accessories?

RVing Basics answers all these questions and more. Veteran RVers Bill and Jan Moeller offer tips on trip planning, readying the RV for the road, and finding your way to RV parks and campgrounds across the country. Detailed, illustrated chapters explain the fundamentals of driving and handling an RV rig, maneuvering your rig into campsites, and using campground hookups. The Moellers demystify the intricacies of the RV's electrical, water, and propane systems, and offer advice on how to use them. The sections on maintaining and winterizing an RV will protect your investment. And if you'd like information on when and where to camp or how to hook up with other RVers, RVing Basics tells you that too.

This long-overdue guide, valuable for experienced and novice RVers alike, explains all the basic skills needed for safe, troublefree, and enjoyable RVing.
