Rolling Smooth: How to Enjoy the RV Life Without Losing Your Cool
The book that starts where every RVer actually starts — knowing nothing.
In July 2020, Stan Cromlish made a decision: stop dreaming about the RV life and start living it. He bought a used 2013 Forest River Sunseeker, named her Bessie, and drove 10,000 miles across 77 days — with almost no idea what he was doing.
That first trip became the education no YouTube video could give him.
Rolling Smooth: How to Enjoy the RV Life Without Losing Your Cool is the book Stan wishes he'd had before he left the driveway. Written from real miles — across three rigs, thousands of campsites, and more than a few expensive mistakes — it's a practical, honest guide for anyone who's curious about the RV life or just getting started.
Inside, you'll find:
- How Stan chose his first rig (and why his thinking evolved through three motorhomes)
- What his first 77-day, 10,000-mile trip actually looked like — the good, the chaotic, and the humbling
- A no-nonsense breakdown of RV types so you can find what fits your life
- How to plan your first trip without over-planning it
- RV maintenance basics that keep you moving and out of the shop
- How to stay connected on the road — campground WiFi, Starlink, cellular, and what actually works
- The full-time vs. part-time question, answered honestly
- Six hard-won lessons from the road that most new RVers learn the expensive way
This isn't a glossy travel book or a technical manual. It's a campfire conversation with someone who's been where you are — overwhelmed, excited, and not quite sure where to start.
This is an autographed copy, signed personally by Stan before it ships. Same road-tested lessons, just with a personal signature for readers who appreciate a book straight from the author.
Perfect for: New and first-time RV owners · Anyone considering the RV lifestyle · Weekend warriors ready to travel smarter · Full-timers looking for a solid foundation
