The RV Basics
From Daydreams to Adventures and Everything Along the Way
In 2025, we finally did it—we published our very first book: The RV Basics: From Daydreams to Adventures and Everything Along the Way.
This book has been years in the making—not because we were dragging our feet, but because we wanted it to come from real experience. After watching so many people struggle to get started with RVing, we knew it was time to put together something that could actually help—not just overwhelm. No more asking social media for questionable advice that is all over the place and dotted with snarky remarks; just a basic understanding of what's involved and how to go about getting it done right. Starting with picking the right RV and through your first adventures.
My journey with RVs didn’t start last year or even a decade ago. It started as a kid, riding in the back of my parents’ motorhome, watching the world go by out the window. Thos trips included breakdowns, near misses, and plenty of oh-no moments that would stick with me as we patched, rigged, and worked our way through adventure after adventure in a hand-me-down RV. Fast forward 40+ years, and now I'm RVing with our own family, still learning and loving every minute of it—but with our own list of “things we wish we had known” along the way.
That’s what this book is all about. It’s not just tips and checklists (though it has those too)—it’s the stuff no one tells you. The lessons you usually learn the hard way listening to forums, social media, and RV dealers. We wrote it for the daydreamers, the new RV owners, and even those thinking about taking the leap. It’s honest, practical, and meant to feel like an easy-to-follow introduction to how to get going on your own RV adventures.
If you're thinking about RVing—or already on your first few trips and wondering if you're doing it right—this book is for you. Grab a copy on Amazon and start your adventure with confidence.
