I thought your book was magnificent! My wife and I are in the early stages of searching for an RV travel trailer.

We want to do some serious traveling and see as much of the United States as possible. Your RV Comparison Guide and rating charts helped us select the right RV manufacturer.

The RV Appraisal was a big help, knowing the wholesale price is a big advantage during the negotiation process.

Thanks so much!

I printed out your "RV Comparison Guide" and read it from start to finish in one sitting, amazed at what I learned.

My husband and I thought the book was very easy to read, and provided basic knowledge on what to look for when purchasing a trailer or fifth wheel. We also liked that you actually rated the RV manufacturers, products, services, etc. We spent the entire weekend on-line getting to know RV manufacturers that we had never heard about previous to reading your book.

We are also interested in learning more about Class C motorhomes, your book covers it all!

I absolutely love the comparison guide. I skimmed it cover to cover all evening. You offer a real insight. We plan to purchase an rv and a suv in the next few months so we really appreciate your help. Your comparison guide is helping us to become better informed.

I just purchased the RV Comparison Guide and am very-very impressed.

I am preparing to purchase my 3rd motor home and found the information very insightful, considering I am an experienced motor home enthusiast.

I would recommend your book to anyone considering a motor home and I plan on putting into practice your buying tips.

A great resource!

Understanding how RV manufacturers compare to each other is the first step in deciding which models to consider. Our 2008-2009 RV Comparison Guide focuses on:

Best-Selling RV Models Rated

In addition to rating over 55 RV Manufacturers, we also rate over 105 Best Selling RV Models for 2008 – 2009. The editorial staff of J R Consumer Resources rated best selling models based on; perceived value, style and price. We arrived at our conclusions by speaking with previous owners, attending various RV shows and interviewing each RV manufacturer.

Ratings for Best-Selling RV Models (Sample Chart)

A popular or best selling model that receives a five star rating is considered excellent while a one star rating is considered poor. In the end - each buyer must make his or her own buying decision based on research and due diligence.

There is no other resource that we are aware of that answers important questions like the ones below:

Which manufacturers are rated best?
What are the top selling brands in each category?
Should I buy a new or used RV?
How do I determine the overall quality of construction?
What is the depreciation factor when buying new?
How do I know if I am getting a good deal?
Should I trade in my old RV or sell it?
How do I select the right RV dealer for me?
