You too can use an American motorhome ‘over here’!
American motorhomes are great vehicles but many people are daunted at the thought of operating one in a UK environment. This book is their reassurance; there are differences to European motorcaravans but nothing that cannot be overcome. Those differences are examined and the various types of RV are explained. The utilities – gas, electricity and water – are scrutinised. Then thoughts turn to engineering, driving and legal matters. This is all in preparation for getting on the road, so the next topic is places to stay. Car towing is a natural accompaniment to an RV and this is studied in some detail. Security, a bit of DIY – everything relevant to RV operating is covered. This book would help, in a general way, those considering hiring in the USA. The whole is a piece of solid advice on the operation of one of these splendid motorhomes here in the UK.
