This book should be required reading for anyone who is retired or getting ready to retire. It provides never-before-answered questions about living the attractive RVing lifestyle on a budget.
This book is written in the fast-paced, down-to-earth style of the author’s other best-selling books about living full time in an RV.
This book covers the things that were learned the hard way during seven years on the road living full-time in an RV. You won’t find this information in other RVing books and videos.
One of the most valuable chapters in this book is the one that shows you the simple and easy technique that will guarantee that you will select the perfect RV for your first RV.
For example, when they’re getting ready to live the RV lifestyle many people spend a tremendous amount of time, energy, and effort trying to decide which type of RV they should choose as their first. The worst part is that, in most cases, they end up with the wrong RV for their lifestyle, and they waste a lot of money in the process. Don’t let that happen to you. Follow the simple techniques described in Chapter 3, and you will end up with an RV that you will be happy with.
The little-known buying techniques shown in this chapter will also show you how to get your perfect RV without losing your shirt. The chapter also includes the one thing most RV sellers tell you that you should never believe. It shows you how to find out the truth for yourself.
While this book is mainly for people who are considering setting out on the adventurous RVing lifestyle, there’s a world of information veteran RVers will find informative and useful. This book is not trying to sugar-coat the RVing lifestyle. The author includes the good, the bad, and the funny things that happen to RVers.
One last point: The final chapter is truly eye-opening.
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.
In the book, best-selling author Jerry Minchey takes you on a personal and inspiring journey into the real world of full-time RV living. He shares the experience and wisdom he has gained from his seven years of full-time RV living. He gives you heartfelt advice and shares intimate anecdotes that will make you feel like you have shared the experiences with him.
In this book, there’s no sugar-coating of anything. This book covers the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of the RVing lifestyle.
This book tells it like it is in a way no other book has done before. Jerry said, “I’ll admit that my previous ten books about living in an RV have made some parts of the lifestyle sound more glamorous, exciting, and fun than they are.”
• Based on the author’s seven years of full-time RV living, the book debunks the over-hyped glamour of the RV life and digs into what it’s like to live and travel full-time in an RV on a day-to-day basis.
• A dynamic new look at the real challenges of living, traveling and working in an RV as a couple, a family, and as a solo RVer.
• In the book, you’ll find real-life stories of RV life on the road that pack a punch of insight, humor, and emotions.
Telling someone about RVing is like talking about grandkids. Most people tend to talk about all the good and wonderful things and leave out the bad, heartbreaking, and expensive parts. Maybe not intentionally, but it’s just human nature to remember and talk about the good times when it comes to RVing and grandkids.
The lifestyle is not all sunsets, campfires, and margaritas, but enough of it is to make many people decide that they don’t want to live any other way.
Of course, not everyone feels this way. It’s not the right lifestyle for everyone. Maybe it’s not the right lifestyle for you. If it’s not the right lifestyle for you, it’s better to find that out before you sell everything and hit the road.
That’s the purpose of this book. It’s not to talk you into living full-time in an RV or talk you out of it. The purpose of this book is to arm you with truth and facts so you can make an informed decision.
By the time you finish reading this book, you will know some wonderful things about the RVing lifestyle that you had not heard about before. However, you’ll also know some bad things (and some terrible things) that you had not heard about before either.
The author does it, and you can do it too.

Having a million dollars in the bank when you retire could almost guarantee that your retirement will not be as enjoyable as it could be.
Let me explain.
Most financial advisors will tell you that you need a million dollars (or two or three) in the bank when you retire to continue the lifestyle you’ve been living.
But if you want to have a wild, fun, and happy retirement, one thing is for sure.
You don’t want to continue to live the same life you’re living now. That’s a recipe for disaster. You want to have more fun in your retirement years than you’re having now.
Look at your retirement through the back door. Don’t decide how much money you need to retire.
Look at your retirement this way. How much money do you have, and how much income will you have coming in? Then investigate what kind of retirement life you can live with that money. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
That is if you follow the advice in this book that will show you how to retire wild, free, and happy and how to do it now with the money you have.
Dive into this book and explore the many opportunities of fun, interesting, and adventurous ways to retire. Many of them can be enjoyed even if you’re living on just your Social Security income.
The book will also show you how a lot of retirees are living these lifestyles while making more money than they’re spending. In other words, they’re adding to their savings instead of draining their savings.
Take a look at this book, and you will never look at retirement the same way again.
