Extended RV Travel
How To Travel In Your RV For Weeks Or Months At A Time
Third Printing 2005, revised and updated
184 pages • $16.95Extended RV travelers are those who spend weeks and even months traveling and living in their RV. Unlike weekend and vacation RVers, though, the extended RV traveler can not just put their lives on hold while they are away from home, and then play catch-up when they return. Life goes on while they are on the road.
Arrangements have to be made to secure their home, receive their mail, pay their bills, and keep in touch with their friends and families. Extended RV travelers may also have to deal with obtaining medical care and getting their prescriptions refilled while thousands of miles from home.
In "Extended RV Travel", Joe and Vicki Kieva, who have been extended RV travelers since 1989, deal with these subjects and answer the questions most frequently asked by those who are about to go on the road for extended periods of time.
Extended RV Travel will show you how easy it is to prepare yourself for this great RV adventure.
