(This book has been in the Amazon top 100 nearly every month since its release.) Book Description: Every year thousands of RVers hit the road for fun and adventure, but RVing has built in misadventures-backing into a tree, bending a jack stand, and more-spoiling an otherwise perfect outing.

  excerpt from  Diary of an RVer during Quarantine  (MacDonald) -  Day 2 - 6 (Wednesday - Monday) It didn’t take me long to come up with a list of jobs that were long overdue.  Washing and waxing the truck and trailer pretty much got me through the first week.  Each day, I congratulated myself for a job-well-done with a “Quarantini” … which tastes just like a martini except that you drink it at home alone!  And you don’t even have to wait for Happy Hour – when you’re confined in a trailer, you can be happy at 11:00 in the morning!  As they say in the RV world:  it’s 5 o’clock somewhere!   5 stars, Readers' Favorite For more posts about award-winning author, Larry MacDonald, and his books, click  HERE .

  Today's publisher's pride is  Travels with Elly  by Larry MacDonald, which reached #215   in travel with pets books. Book description: This nonfiction book views Canada from a personal perspective, similar to John Steinbeck's view of America in his 1960 book  Travels with Charley . The author travels from coast to coast in a trailer with his wife and pets, including their Standard Poodle, Elly, in order to gain a better understanding of his adopted country.

To provide a canine's perspective, Elly reflects on things of interest to her, including cats, cows, and other critters...but especially cats! Where was Canada's first settlement? What is its prettiest town? When and where was its most devastating shipwreck? And who was its greatest h...
