When I started living full time in my RV six years ago, I knew almost nothing about RVing. I didn't know anyone else who was living in an RV. I had never spent the night in a motorhome. I didn't know how to drive one, and for sure, I did not know how to drive a 34-foot Class A motorhome.I didn't know what boondocking meant. I didn't know what the terms black water or gray water meant, and I had no idea that you could park an RV overnight at Walmart free of charge. Not knowing this one thing costs me a lot of money in my early days on the road.
Gradually by reading a lot of books, watching a lot of YouTube videos, spending six years on the road, and sitting around countless campfires talking to other RVers, I've learned a lot.
I've written 10 books about living in an RV, but until now I have never covered the topic that I get asked about the most. The questions are phrased in several different ways, but they all boil down to people (young and old) wanting to know how they can live the RVing lifestyle when they don't have a lot of money?
Since I meet people all the time who are RVing without spending much money, and who are making more money while they're living the RVing lifestyle than they're spending, I know it's possible and even more important I know how to do it. After all, I've been doing it for six years.
That's where the idea came from to write the book, Secrets of RVing on a Dime and a Dream with the subtitle of Frugal RVing on $1,000 a Month or Less.
This book shows you step by step exactly how to do it and shows you how to make the $1,000 a month it takes to live this lifestyle. It even provides you with dozens of interviews, link to websites, and videos where people are doing what you want to do-that is to live full time in your RV and do it on a dime and a dream.
In fact, a lot of people are actually adding to their savings while having the time of their lives living the RV lifestyle. In this book, you will grasp how they are doing it, and how you can do it too.
I'll also give you the brutally honest pros and cons of the RV lifestyle. There are some downsides to the lifestyle you need to be prepared for.
