This may be the best book about RVing ever written, even though you’ll almost never find it in any camping or RV bookstore.

In 1960, author John Steinbeck, then 58, set out with his French poodle Charley to discover America. Steinbeck drives interstates and country roads, dines with truckers, encounters bears at Yellowstone and old friends in San Francisco. Traveling alone, he is sometimes lonely. But often, as is the case today, the unexpected kindness of a stranger lifts his spirits.

In 1960, there were no motorhomes as we know them today. Steinbeck had his RV custom built, and everywhere he went it attracted attention. Nowadays, we’d call it a truck camper and consider it primitive. But it was a warm and cozy home for Steinbeck and Charley and led them from one end of the country to the another with many adventures along the way. If you’re not yet an RVer, you will likely be fueled with desire to be one after reading Travels With Charley. If you already travel by RV, you will be charmed by Steinbeck’s descriptions of his life on the road, many of which will ring true. You will love this book and may end up reading it over and over again.
