This conversational book promises more than it delivers. As a Canadian planning to buy an RV in the US, I was hoping that the author's Canadian experience would be useful to me. In this I was disappointed because the info provided is partial, at best.
For example, in the section regarding import of an RV from the U.S. to Canada, Ms. McDonald seems to automatically assume that you'll be buying new, and A,B, or C class only. A number of basic, critical facts is left out. E.g. The regulations are substantially different for vehicles older than 15 years, or if you're buying an unmotorized RV like a travel trailer. Many newer RVs are not admissible at all. And BOTH U.S. and Canadian Customs have procedures and forms you must go through.
Most other topics suffer from this same lack of depth and detail. Best coverage is given to transborder communications issues while on the road. Although slightly dated, the fundamentals are there.
So, if you're willing to dig deeper, this book can be a useful starting point. If you take it at face value, be prepared for some nasty surprises.

Great book for anyone even remotely considering getting an RV. Tells all the ins and outs of living and traveling in an RV.
By Helma (New Hyde Park, NY United States)
As new owners of an RV, I ordered this book to perhaps give us a few hints. Well it surpassed all my expectations and both my husband and I devoured the book. It offers practical and insighful help into Life on the Road for all Rvers.
Wonderful book.
By J. L. Williams (Groveland, CA USA)
The author sounds like a nice enough person, but I did not buy the book to learn about her personal life. I was looking for something of a more technical nature to help me decide on what sort of RV I wanted. This book was not it. This is more of a Travels With Charlie type of book. The author is Canadian and a lot of the information has to do with Canadian laws. The photos are amateur photography in black and white and they are fuzzy and indistinct. At times I could not make out what the photos were attempting to show me. She'd be writing about how cute they had fixed up the interior of the RV and there would be this picture of fuzzy something-or-other.

RV LIVING IN THE 21ST CENTURY by Peggi and John McDonald is an excellent publication and a MUST for ALL RVers - from those new to the RV lifestyle to seasoned RVers. The book is organized by chapters which guide you through buying an RV or camper to where to stay, how to pack, what to purchase for multiple uses, how to add storage and organize, and many many more tips. The authors are well qualified for writing this and their other books listed below. They have spent years living in their RV six months in Canada and six months in the United States each year. They are also authors of 'SPIRIT OF THE OPEN ROAD and RV PACKING TIPS and RV LIFE LESSONS and EASY LIVING HINGS and RV TRAVEL TO CANADA E-BOOK.
Although we have been RV-ers for 30 years, we learned a lot from these EXCELLENT books. A very good investment for life on the road...whether for short or long stints. Highly recommended!
