If you like to spend time in RV parks, then Woodalls is an important reference. If you prefer more secluded, natural settings but still in a campground, then the RV Camping in State Parks, Coleman National Forest and Corps of Engineering guides are good. (Woodalls also lists many of those public parks, but with a little less detail.)<BR/><BR/>For boondocking and free dry camping, the ones we like in order of most used to least used are as follows: Day's End, Wal-Mart, Elkdom, Don Wright's Free Campgrounds, Casino Camping. But even that varies from time of year and part of the country. For instance, we spend more time in Wal-Marts when we're on our way to somewhere else in hurricane season and more time in Elks lodges in the East than in the West. Sometimes we're in Native American reservation country and use more casinos. That's why I ended up recommending so many books. I really do use all of them. The useless ones I threw away long ago!<BR/><BR/>As for the maps, they are most useful for boondocking, so if you primarily travel on interstates or major US highways, the AAA maps would be my first choice, then the Trucker's Atlas. A good GPS helps, too.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-74427938695423935292009-03-28T10:38:00.000-04:002009-03-28T10:38:00.000-04:00Sean, Which guide is best for Fulltiming?
