Where to find good, basic information before buying your first (or next) recreation vehicle

Share

There are literally hundreds of books, magazines, DVDs, Web sites and personal blogs about the RV lifestyle. Here is a just start:

Ask other RVers

“The people one meets in the campgrounds are some of the best, most fun-loving, helpful people you’ll ever meet,” said fulltime RVer Meg Brubacher of Ontario, Canada.

RV Shows

Good places to gather a lot of information in a short amount of time are local RV shows.

To learn the about upcoming RV shows in your area, click on RVTravel/RVShows. If no RV show is scheduled in your region, walk through a number of recreation vehicles on a dealer’s lot.
