5 out of 5 stars Worthy of Space on Anyone's RV Bookshelf!!   October 30, 2006
 9 out of 9 found this review helpful

To rephrase Ratty's famous comment to Mole in "The Wind in the Willows": There is nothing- absolutely nothing- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in an RV.

By even the most charitable of definitions, I am not what anyone would call "handy" when it comes to fixing things about our sticks-and-bricks house. I am not good at it and I hate taking the time for even the most basic of repairs.

Having said that, I also note that I love puttering around our 5th wheel and could happily spend hours at a time on RV related projects! I guess that's why I think the 10 Minute Tech books are so terrific. More than 600 practical and money-saving ideas in each of the three volumes . . . clever, practical solutions to both everyday challenges and to obscure situations the average RVer will never come across. Each idea presents a practical, real-life solution. Each has been developed by an RVer. The projects are presented in language which is brief, understandable and to the point . . . and the illustrations do a great job of clearing up any questions left unanswered by the text.

The books are conveniently divided into sections on Livability, Safety, Appliances, Maintenance, Automotive, In Camp, Systems, Storage, Towing, Accessories, Sanitation, Doors-Hatches-Handles, Cleaning-Protecting, and Tools. Only a brief perusal is needed to start the creative juices flowing - to send the reader, tool box in hand, off on another project. A fun read when you are nowhere near an RV. An indispensable reference when you are on the road.

This book had lots of helpful hints although some people definitely have much too much time on their hands to think this stuff up.

I'm new to the RV world and searched out any and all books and web sites pertaining to the RV Life. This particular book is the culmination of thousands of readers submissions for making your RV experience that much more comfortable. 10-Minute Tech has a way of dealing with technical topics most simply and effectively. This book is a must have for any RV library. It will pay itself back many fold by revealing 600 practical, money saving and very well thought out solutions to everyday problems RV'ers face. I just can't seem to put this book down, I'm always learning something new!


5 out of 5 stars Extremely useful RVing tips   September 9, 2000
 24 out of 24 found this review helpful

This book from the editors of "Trailer Life" magazine collects more than 600 practical ideas contributed by TL readers. The tips are well written and are enhanced by by Bill Tipton's excellent illustrations, which clarify anything the words don't get across.

The book is divided into major sections on Livability, Safety, Appliances, Maintenance, Automotive, In Camp, Systems, Storage, Towing, Accessories, Sanitation, Doors/Hatches/Handles, Cleaning/Protecting, and Tools. each section contains dozens of practlcal, do-able suggestions.

As I read through it the first time, I found ideas on almost every page that made me want to jump up and apply them to my own motorhome, or call a friend and pass on a tip. I've never seen so much good stuff--ingenious, clever, simple, money-saving ideas--packed into one book. Highly recommended for any RVer! By the way, you can get this for $16.99 from Camping World.
