Rolling Smooth: From Breakdowns to Belly Laughs

Nobody sits around the campfire talking about the perfect drive.

The stories worth telling — the ones that keep the fire going long after the s'mores are gone — are the ones where everything went sideways. Where the black tank had other plans. Where the awning met a gatepost in Texas. Where a steel cable wrapped itself around your tow car in the middle of Wyoming and roadside assistance was four and a half hours away.

Those are Stan Cromlish's stories. And now they're yours.

From Breakdowns to Belly Laughs is the third book in the Rolling Smooth series, and it's the most honest one yet. No Instagram filters. No golden-hour highlight reels. Just the real, messy, often hilarious other side of RV life — told with the kind of detail that makes you laugh, wince, and nod in recognition all at once.

You'll ride along for:

• The Toilet Paper Baseball Incident — and the two-hour battle that followed at a Chattanooga KOA
• Mount Vesuvius at Mountain Cove — the time Stan ended up in the blast zone of someone else's black tank mistake
• Drenched in Dodge City — a thunderstorm, a stubborn slide, and needle-nose pliers in the pouring rain
• The Loon Lake Shuffle — parking a 36-foot motorhome in a driveway the size of a postage stamp (100-point turn included)
• Rosie vs. the Wyoming Cable — a high-tensile steel cable, a stranded tow car, and 4.5 hours on the shoulder of a lonely highway
• And more stories from Bessie, Bertha, and Bertie Bea that prove RV life is always worth it — even when it really, really isn't

The foreword is narrated by Bessie herself — Stan's first motorhome, who has opinions about the whole situation.

This isn't a how-to book. It's a campfire in your hands — the stories that remind you why you got on the road in the first place, and why you'll stay on it no matter what the road throws at you.
