Do you have a dream of getting out and seeing North America?
Do you want to do it at your own pace and from your own digs?
Our forefathers crossed the plains in covered wagons. Today we again have a chance to explore North America from a home on wheels.
Do you dream of living full time in an RV?
Well, it is time to stop dreaming and start doing.
Full Time in an RV is a compilation of years of experience of “Living the Life” that most people have only dreamed of – up until now. By the time you finish reading this book you will come to realize that anyone can live this lifestyle. I have included information that answers those questions about “Full Timing” that you probably didn’t even KNOW you needed to ask!
I keep updating the book with new information received from readers, and send the updates to purchasers of
Full Time in an RV.

Mile for mile, British Columbia boasts perhaps the richest array of waterfalls in the world, with many parks created around awe-inspriing spectacles of falling water. BC’s waterfalls occur in infinite variety, from the monumental, with thundering volumes plunging into dark abysses, to tranquil little gems hidden away on forest trails. Some are attended by thousands of visitors, while others exist in remonte wilderness settings, little known or visited.
Waterfalls of British Columbia is the first and only guidebook to focus on BC’s magnificant waterfall heritage. It includes Kinuseo Falls, one of Canada’s most majestic, world-renowned Hunlen, Takakkaw and Della Falls, as well as 95 lesser-known but equally magical locations of cascading splendour.
The book is organized by region, with up-to-date maps and detailed trail descriptions for each destination, and much much more.
