RV Electrical Safety
RVtravel.com contributor and RV electricity authority Mike Sokol has taken his 40+ years of experience with AC power, and written a book about electricity that nearly anyone can understand. Covers the basics of Voltage, Amperage, Wattage and Grounding, with additional chapters on RV Hot-Skin testing, GFCI operation, portable generator hookups and troubleshooting RV electrical systems.

RV Camping in Corps of Engineers Parks
Of all the public lands, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has some of the best parks and campgrounds available. In fact, they're the largest federal provider of outdoor recreation in the nation. This guide is perfect for RVers because all the hike-in, boat-in and tent only camping areas are not included, making it very easy to locate campgrounds that can accommodate RVs.
