Living the RV Lifestyle:

Practical Advice and Personal Tales from Life on the Road

Art photography by J Alan Jackson

Living the RV Lifestyle has been a dream in the making. After three years of Full-time RV living, it was time to write about the journey as well as share all that my husband, Jim and I have learned from this experience of traveling around the country.

As of 2017, we've made a couple of grand circles around the country with some crisscrossing. We've traveled over 36,900 miles, visited 44 states and 36 national parks while camping in 73 RV parks, 3 Wal-Marts, One casino, and a family driveway. It's been a journey of many different experiences, and I've captured some of the most memorable ones in this book.

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 and a Kindle edition.
