Two
new thirty-minute videos in the RVing Essentials Series
offer how-to tips especially valuable for beginners. Easy
RVing gives a good overview of what it takes to pack
and operate an RV efficiently and safely. It's a perfect
introduction for those who are considering renting or
buying their first RV, especially if they'd like to avoid
some of the pitfalls hosts Joe and Vicki Kieva recall
from their own early RVing days, like overloading a trailer
or using a tow vehicle that isn't powerful enough to pull
it. The Kievas now have over thirty-five years of RVing
experience to draw from, and their tips and instructions
are basic, practical, and apply to all kinds of RVs, from
tent trailers to bus-sized diesel pushers.
Top
40 RV Camping Tips, a second thirty-minute program,
is also useful for beginners, but even seasoned RV aficionados
will find ideas worth remembering. Gathered both from
the Kievas' personal RV experience and their extensive
interaction with other RVers at seminars, shows, and
rallies, the 40 tips range from how to keep ants from
climbing up your hoses to how to receive mail when you're
on the road. As in Easy RVing, the tips apply
whether you're towing a tent trailer or driving a rolling
palace.
While
neither of these videos is detailed enough to take the
place of a good book (like Stephanie Bernhagen's comprehensive
Take
Back Your Life), video is the perfect medium
for demonstrating tasks like leveling a coach or trailer,
hooking up electric and sewage connections, and packing
cabinets for safe travel. The Kievas do all this effectively,
making their videos a good addition to any aspiring
RVer's library.
