Customer Reviews
Too much philosophy
Too much philosophy and not enough meat. Way too wordy. The first quarter of the book was about convincing you that RVing is Spartan etc. then he spent 10 pages explaining that you shouldn't bring books because books are heavy--only needed a paragraph. Several similar droning pieces on other minor points. It was in the last quarter in the book that he finally got down to actual tips--some were mildy helpful; some fairly obvious. Overall, a waste of my money.
