Tips for New RVers: Catchin' the Dream : S is for Shipshewana

Shipshewana is a town in Amish country not far from Elkhart, Indiana where we picked up our RV from Nexus. The town has charming shops and restaurants with good home cooking. Definitely a place to visit if you are passing through that area.

We thought we had more pictures of the town, but it seems we mostly have pictures of the food. Especially the pie. We definitely have pictures of the pie.

He can't believe he ate the whole thing....

Loaded up with goodies to go...

Reviews on Amazon.com:

"Informative, easy to read and just plain fun. It is a great book for all "newbies" to read before even thinking about trying to RV. It points out so many of the things that you would never think about at home. Simple but very important things such as packing, leveling or parking the RV. If you are even just thinking about trying RVing be sure to read this book."

"Wow, I was so happy to find this book! A single woman, I just started the RV life not long ago and although I read everything I could find, this book was the most friendly and funny and useful guide. I have been a weekend warrior but hope to live full time in my rig in the near future and appreciate the maintenance tips and learning the how's and whys of RV life. Most of all, it's a fun easy read and I appreciate that they did not try and explain EVERYTHING which makes some guides overwhelming to a newbie like me. Happy trails."

"Really good book for new RVers. There is a lot of helpful information in here along with stories that illustrate the points. Well-organized and also well-written - it flows really smoothly so even with the technical information it reads smoothly. Good checklists for when you arrive and leave the campground and also information about systems that I didn't know about."

About the Authors

J.R.Secor (aka RVPainter), and Melissa Ann Goodwin, (aka DW), were full-time RVers who spent a year living and traveling throughout the U.S. and Canada in a Class C motor home that they lovingly named "Dreamcatcher." They were Newbies when they started, but a year on the road turned them into experts on road life. They have written Tips for New RVers: Catchin' the Dream with the hope that it will help other new RVers catch their own RV dreams with as few difficulties as possible!

Goodwin is the author of two highly acclaimed young adult novels, The Christmas Village and Return to Canterbury. Secor is an accomplished artist who works in acrylic with brush and palette knife.
