I would like to add to my previous review, after rereading the book one more time. In particular I found his descriptions of pitfalls easy to understand and most helpful. I'm sure his not naming particular manufacturers is wise, as over periods of time they probably rectified weaknesses in later models. The book leaves it up to you to determine if the many pitfalls are apparent in any RV you may be checking out. It seems obvious that sound critique should be welcome to the buyer, but looked on by an RV salesperson with a jaundiced eye. Oh yes, the price is right, also.
Very Informative

I can understand that the book might ruffle a few feathers of "High Pressure RV sales people" as they do not want the buyers to be well informed when checking out an RV. I do not feel that the author wanted to evaluate all RV manufacturers, just his OWN experiences. I found the book "My 20 years of RV Adventures" very informative! The book is about the author's 20 years of adventures. Also, maybe Tennessee should do a spell check before submitting reviews!
Very informative book for the beginners or the experts!!

This book was packed full of information and wit! I feel that it has covered just about every subject on RV's a person would need to know. Good job Mr. Gracey!

Excellent book on the perils of RV'ing without proper research.If anyone is thinking of buying any size RV please save yourself a lot of possible trouble and read this book. Mr Gracey's checklist on pages 14 through 21 is worth more than the cost of the book.The story of his misadventures of his first RV purchase dramatizes what can happen when you purchase an RV the wrong way.This is a super book that will save time and money.
Buy this book BEFORE you buy an RV!

This book is for the prospective RV buyer, used or new. The book while humerous and quite entertaining at times shows the pitfalls of buying and owning an RV without the first hand knowledge of prior ownership. I never imagined that RV's could be on the road in various states of disrepair, truly buyer beware with some RV manufacturers....though as Mr. Gracey points out, many of the poor mfgs are now out of business. Buy this book if your interested in learning about the RV you may purchase or buy it because it's entertaining. You won't believe the trials and tribulations associated with Gracey's RV's.
