 Beached Boater January 8, 2004

Due to an ugly encounter with 2 18-wheelers and 1 car (ours), my husband and I were left with debilitating injuries. After trying the live-aboard lifestyle for 2 years, we found that our disabilities proved too much for the boating lifestyle.
Enter RVing. While we are not "full timers" (I don't want to get disappointed again), the book Movin' On by the Hofmeisters proved insightful and exciting, as travel was our main objective. This book provides not only basics of RVing, but gives fantastic accounts of trips which we would have never dreamed of encountering. I recommend it highly for anyone who may be looking for an easier way to travel, and a first hand account of the out-of-the-way destinations which are sure to excite and make trip planning easier.
 Virtually Compelling! October 20, 2003

I'm not an avid reader, but when I picked up this book I could not put it down. I was drawn in to a virtual reality made possible by the Hofmeister's descriptive prose. I only got through a few pages when I knew I better grab a highlighter. My favorite sections were the sections on finance and mobile office. Ron provides detailed information and a budget providing the high end and low end of some of the most common expenses. In the mobile office chapter, Barb provides information on getting one's mail and making telephone calls. The chapter on working while full-time RVing (called workamping) was also very informative. I found all the information I needed in this book.
 Little Usable Information November 30, 2002
12 out of 15 found this review helpful
While I had expected to spend time finding out about the RV lifestyle from those that had been there, there was very little
in the way of "how to" advice. Travelogs are fine for those
interested in finding places to go which comprises most of
the information in this book. Two pages on finances can hardly
be said to be useful for the "details" needed to take up a life
of full-time RVing. Once equipment technicalities entered the conversation, Ron would be better advised to seek help with the questions almost everyone has about how things operate rather than discuss how mechanically inclined he is not.
I don't know what I was expecting but with all the promotion this book has received, my expectations were higher than learning of relatives, friends, and wildflowers. There are others who full-time RV who have written on the internet with more information in two pages than could be found in several pages of this offering. Sorry, but I'll keep searching for the information that was expected.

This book will help you figure out if you are ready to take your life on the road...full of helpful and realistic considerations for such a big change from a "stationary" home to a home on wheels! Gets you wishin' for the freedom of the road, alright! Good book!

I am 25 years old and have been considering taking up the fulltiming lifestyle. This book was a great help. I highly reccomend it to anyone considering taking "the leap." Ron and Barb are great! They strike me as being people I would love to hang out with. This book is fun, informative, and filled with positivity. Their book reads like a wonderful mentorship. If you are looking for guidance and/or knowledge into a seemingly magical new lifestyle- let this book help to inspire you.
