Tips for New RVers: Catchin' the Dream : M is for Mahone Bay

With L, M, N and P posts, we have a chance to show you some of the wonderful places we visited during our extended stay in Nova Scotia.

Yesterday we showed you Lunenberg, a port town that is famous for its sailing ship, the Bluenose II, as well as for just being quaint and charming.

Today, we take you to Mahone Bay, which, for us, rivals Peggy's Cove for our favorite town.

Mahone Bay the town is located on Mahone Bay, the bay. Like all the Nova Scotia towns we visited, it has a charming center with shops, galleries and restaurants. It also had a great little bakery and on Tuesdays, a Farmer's Market in the lot across the street.

One of several churches along the main street. The Anglican churches in Nova Scotia are all very gothic looking.

Our favorite day - Tuesdays brings the open air Farmer's Market to town. That's RVPainter center left.

Really, it just doesn't get much prettier or more charming than Nova Scotia. Can't wait to go back!

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.
