Have you ever had the desire to quit your boring-ass job and do something epic like travel the country in an RV? Have you ever wanted to give your family a once-in-a-lifetime adventure they will remember forever? Have you ever wanted to live in a trailer with sixteen square foot bathroom?

If you answered “YES!” to any of these questions, this is the book for you! Jason Robillard, author of "The Barefoot Running Book" and "Never Wipe Your Ass with a Squirrel", and his wife Shelly quit their high school teacher jobs to travel the country as barefoot ultrarunner hobos. They spent three years living in a thirty-four foot RV with their three small children and niece. Jason documents their travels and initiates frank discussions about the many pros and cons of this truly unorthodox lifestyle. Jason covers topics like managing the stinkiness of “black water”, how to prepare meals in a kitchen that could fit in a bath tub, and how to effectively have sex in a “house” the shakes mercilessly. No topic is taboo in this honest and occasionally explicit account of one family's grand adventure.

Considering a RV Lifestyle? Consider this book!

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2014

This is a gem of a book for anyone thinking of living 'on the road'. With kids. Full time. In a small space. If you have ever considered packing everyone up and driving off into the wild green yonder, this book is a must read. Mr Robillard hits on every feasible aspect of RV living and provides a realistic view throughout; he doesn't paint a rosy picture that may be enjoyable to read but basically useless to implement. Robillard's sense of humour is obvious throughout, making this light and easy read without skimping on the 'meat'.

Chapters include information on everything from choosing an RV to effective strategies for timeouts for misbehaving kids. Also covered is detailed information you need to consider BEFORE you plan your trip, budgeting; residency considerations; the emotional toll of leaving friends/family; etc. The section regarding the positives and negatives of the RV lifestyle is comprehensive and well-balanced. Also included are nitty gritty details for everyday RV life: i.e. emptying waste tanks; preventing dead batteries; homeschooling; how to have sex in cramped quarters...it's all here.

Somehow, Mr Robillard makes this plan sound not only doable but actually enjoyable. He makes a very strong case for giving up our 'worldly goods' and living on less to get more out of life. He presents a well rounded view of anything and everything you need to know if you want to RV and, although the book is RV-specific, much of the information would be beneficial to anyone planning on long-term travelling, especially with kids.

This was fantastic. Really gave my husband and I a real look at rving full time with kids. I would recommend this book to anyone that is considering the life. I only have it 4 stars because it had quite a few typos.

If you have ever considered an unconventional life, read this book.

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2014

This is really a book about freedom and one family taking the leap. Yes, you can find all about the pros and cons of RV living with kids. There is a lot of straight forward advice that is useful, however what this book really does is to nourish that part of you that longs to leave an ordinary life behind. Jason doesn't pull any punches when he talks about the cost of it all. That is what makes the book worth reading.

Refreshingly honest about what RV life is REALLY like

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2014

This is the best book on RV Living that I've read. Jason makes no effort to hype up or justify this lifestyle. He is objective and brutally honest about every single pro and con. If you’re a curious parent who wants to give your children a healthy worldview, you’ll appreciate Jason’s insights. If you’re seriously thinking of taking your family on the road, you’ll pour over Jason’s detailed logistical tips. Well done!

Okay, I don't know the richter scale but this account of earthquakes and the crazy life on the road or in the RV is entertaining!
