The Wendlands walk through what to expect at every age, from the Bucket List Years in your late 50s and 60s, when it's time to stop waiting and do the Alaska trip, to the Sweet Spot in your 70s, the Adjustment Years after that, and beyond. At every stage, the story is the same: RVers who keep loving this lifestyle aren't the healthiest or the luckiest. They're the ones who stay curious and keep adapting. Inside, you'll find the practical tools to do exactly that: the 330 Rule for pacing travel days so they feel like living instead of enduring, how to choose an easier RV instead of just a smaller one, financial strategies for a fixed income, how to handle a medical situation far from home, and how couples navigate RVing when one spouse's health changes before the other's. You'll also meet the RVers who prove what's possible: a 100-year-old still driving his own motorhome, a 95-year-old planning his fourth trip to Alaska.

They're who we turned to when considering the RV lifestyle, and their perspective comes from real experience." - Marc and Trish, Keep Your Daydream "As someone who's known Mike and Jennifer for years, I can tell you this book comes from a place of genuine experience and passion for the RV lifestyle. It doesn't try to sugarcoat the challenges, but it also reminds you that getting older doesn't mean the adventure has to end. I enjoyed reading it and would definitely recommend it to anyone planning to spend their retirement on the road." - Robert Morales, TravelingRobert.com "As someone who is firmly planted in the midst of "The Bucket List Years," I am very thankful Mike and Jennifer Wendland have published "The Complete Guide to RVing in Retirement." Perhaps what I like most about their latest book is that it provides just the right amount of information balanced with inspiration to get off the couch and hit the road. I also like how they offer the guidance and helpful hints as we navigate this 'side of the hill' so that we can enjoy the RV lifestyle no matter what stage of life we're in." - Rick Kessler, RVBusiness.com "Be adaptable, learning keeps you young. And all the "learning" you need is in this book." - Bob Zagami, Co-host, RVing in New England Podcast "This is by far the best book about retiring with an RV that I have ever come upon. And as the editor and publisher of RVtravel.com, and RVbookstore.com before that, I have seen a thousand books written about every aspect of RVing. For anyone who is contemplating taking up RVing in their retirement years, this book should be essential reading. - Chuck Woodbury, Editor/Publisher, RVTravel.com FAQ's What format does the guide come in, and how do I access it after I buy? It's a digital PDF. You'll get a download link right on the confirmation page and by email immediately after checkout. Works on any phone, tablet, or computer, and once downloaded it's readable offline, no internet needed on the road. Is this only for people in their 60s and 70s, or is it useful if I'm just retiring now? It's built for wherever you are. The book walks through what to expect at every stage, from the excitement of your first big trip right after retiring through decades of adapting as things change. Most readers are just starting out and want to do this right from the beginning. Does this cover choosing or upgrading an RV, or is it just general advice? Both. There's a full breakdown of how to pick an easier RV, not necessarily a smaller one, plus practical guidance on travel pacing, budgeting on a fixed income, and handling health situations on the road. Is this useful if I'm traveling solo, or is it written just for couples? Both are covered. Mike and Jennifer write from their own experience as a couple, including how to adapt when one spouse slows down before the other, but there's guidance throughout for solo travelers too, including rebuilding confidence and independence on the road. I don't own an RV yet, is this guide still useful before I buy one? Yes, arguably it's most useful right now. There's a full section on choosing the right RV for your stage of life, focused on ease and fit rather than just size, so you can start out with the right rig instead of learning the hard way. Don't wait on this one. Code RETIRE20 saves you 20% through August 12, then it's gone. By Mike and Jennifer Wendland, hosts of the RV Podcast, the RVLifestyle YouTube Channel, and founders of RVLifestyle.com and RVCommunity.com.
