Living the RV Lifestyle:

Practical Advice and Personal Tales from Life on the Road

Living the RV Lifestyle was updated in 2025, and now includes an Audiobook. After more than ten years of Full-time and Part-time RV living, it was time to update the book for the new generations of RVers who are taking to the open road. The book provides a wealth of information on how to navigate the RV lifestyle. Whether you're a seasoned RVer or just starting out, my book is the perfect resource for You.

As of 2025, we've spent about five years as Full-time Rvers, and about six years as Part-time Seasonal RVers, living in our RV for summers on Cape Cod and/or winters in the southern states. We've learned a lot, and wanted to share these insights and helpful advice from our experiences of traveling around the country.

The goal of the book is to provide practical information for those who are considering the RV lifestyle whether it's Full-time, Part-time or Anytime as well as include personal stories which can give you a better idea of what it's really like to live the life of a Full-time RVer.

The book is available on Amazon.com in a paperback version, Audiobook and a Kindle edition.

Editorial Reviews

"As the title indicates, this is a book with a lot of practical advice and personal experiences gleaned from living full-time in an RV...Her book details how to buy, prepare and afford the RV lifestyle of your dreams. This book would be especially helpful for newbies, but would also serve as reminders for experienced RVers." --
