If you are researching information to see if retirement RVing is right for you and/or if you have already made the decision to full-time RV and you wonder what’s next, some retirement rving resources might be good to have:

Finding a Retirement Motorhome to buy
To find that perfect retirement RV, look no further than RV sales.  This website features a RV Finder that will show you what travel trailers, toy haulers, fifth wheels, motorhomes, and campers fit your criteria.

Knowing if you can tow your RV
A common question that many RV owners have is “Can I safely tow my RV with the vehicle that I currently have?”  A great resource to answer this question is the RV Buyer’s Guide, Tow Rating Search.  Just put in the year, manufacturer, and make of your vehicle and the tow rating guide will tell you which towable RV’s that you can pull safely.

Learning about RVing
Reading the major RV forums like the forums on RV.net and others is an excellent place to start learning about full-time or part-time RVing.  You can even learn a lot, even if you are just taking a few RV vacations each year.

Another great resource is RV Lifestyle Experts.  Jaimie Hall Bruzenak and Alice Zyetz both have years of full-time RV experience and have authored numerous books about RVing.  Through their website, blog, RV Lifestyle Ezine, and seminars…the RV Lifestyle experts will teach you a lot about full-time rving.

Lastly, another valuable RVing resource just might be NuRvers.com.  This website features non-retired full-time RVers and issues that retirement RVer’s face who still need a job to support their RV lifestyle.

There are many retirement RV resources out there at your disposal.  The above are just a few to get you started on the road to RV retirement.

Are you thinking of buying a retirement RV and becoming fulltimers, but do not know where to start? Then you might want to check out two books about full-time RVing, An Alternative Lifestyle–Living and Traveling Full-time in a Recreational Vehicle and Movin’ On – Living and Traveling Full-time in a Recreational Vehicle.

Both books were written by Ron and Barb Hofmeister who bought a retirement RV and have been full-time RVers since 1989. They set out to write a book about the full-timing RV lifestyle and how to get ready for it so that others would not be afraid to venture out. When the Hofmeisters wrote the first book, there were few books on the subject, and none gave insight to the economic or social aspects of full-timing.

An Alternative Lifestyle–Living and Traveling Full-time in a Recreational Vehicle, was first released in May of 1992 and after two revisions and many printings has sold over 16,000 copies. Each time the book printed, the Hofmeister’s updated the book so that it was always current. The last printing date was August of 1997. The book which one reviewer described as “a how-to book that reads like an adventure story” is out of print, but the book Movin’ On – Living and Traveling Full-time in a Recreational Vehicle has taken it’s place.
