About the Authors

Having camped regularly since his childhood, Walter is close to the RV community. Over the years, Walter has owned nine different RVs and spent four years living full-time in a fifth-wheel trailer. While working as a certified RV inspector through the National Recreational Vehicle Inspectors Association (NRVIA,

), he has encountered many RVs with significant hidden problems that would ultimately put them in the category of money pits for the buyer. Many first-time buyers have no idea what they are getting into. Guided by this experience, Walter was driven to prepare this 2nd edition, expanded, handbook. Margaret, Walter's wife, has contributed her own chapter to the book "From a Woman's Point of View" inspired by her camping experiences and her own love for the Recreational Vehicle community.
