Cruisin' On Land Author:George Buehler When George wrote Buehler's Backyard Boatbuilding, he took what had been an Oh So Serious subject and presented it in a way that was both informative AND entertaining. Now, more than 20 years and (30 pounds) later, George, this time with the assistance of Gail who writes the domestic (in the spirit of the times we do NOT say the woman s) perspec... more »tive of provisioning, stowing, planning meals, entertaining, and the like, does for Recreational Vehicles what he did for boatbuilding. Together, they present the RV world in a way you haven t read before. This book doesn t, like to many others, simply plagiarize the wonderful Trailer Life Press heavies out there. Instead, it gratefully COMPLIMENTS them! It s not slanted towards Retired Republicans With Good Pensions although if there are any of those left in this post 2008 world they ll find this book of value too! What it does do is discuss RVs from the point of view of so called normal people, retired as well as working folks, not full timers, but cruisers and casual users, from weekenders on. It covers pets, private clubs, driving techniques, maintenance, provisioning, crossing into Mexico, and more. It even has recipes for the fresh food you ll find down south. The last chapter is the Log of a Cruise. It describes in day to day detail what cruising from Seattle, 1500 miles south to Mexico s warm weather, anchoring a month, and then cruising home again, is like. It tells you what you can expect to see and experience. By the way, cruising like that is a blast! After you read the Log, we suspect you ll either go out and get an RV, or decide for sure you don t want one. This chapter alone is worth the price of the book!« less
