Summary: It's About Time
Review: When I found out this book was being published, I couldn't wait. There are several great books by and about women RVers and you'll want this one on your bookshelf. Fifty-two women--some coupled, some solo, all experienced--tell their adventures to Jaimie Hall and Alice Zyetz. Some stories are poignant, some are silly and all are wonderful. I too am a woman RVer and if there are any other women out there who are planning to take the plunge into the RVing lifestyle, this is a must read.

Summary: A Book For All Seasons
Review: Whether you go on the road this winter or stay at home, one thing on your must-do list is to take the time to read RV Traveling Tales - Women's Journeys on the Open Road.
The eclectic collection presents a bird's-eye view of life on the road with anecdotal stories from a woman's point-of-view. The often humorous, always thought-provoking tales reflect an extensive array of emotions and impressions from women who span a wide range of age, temperament, financial circumstances and marital status. If one story doesn't grab you with the "been there, done that" syndrome, another will.
Each story paints a vibrant picture of life in an RV. Each miniature composition captures the unquenchable spirit of women as they reflect on events ranging from mechanical trouble on the road and fighting the RV bulge (both for their units and themselves) to making lasting friendships in a transient setting and discovering (rediscovering?) the joy of life. Issues covered deal with just about anything encountered while RVing - from illness on the road, coping with expenses, fending off the wildlife (animal and human) and the trivial day-to-day things that make life an adventure.
Thank you, Jaimie Hall and Alice Zyetz, for putting together this collection of RVing stories. With representation from both American and Canadian women, RV Traveling Tales truly chronicles the history of RVing.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading (and re-reading) RV Traveling Tales and, as a woman who is totally committed to the RV camping lifestyle, rejoiced in discovering this inspired blend of stories from kindred souls. - Diane Batten, Editor, RV gazette/Explorer RV Club - Canada.
