More tips for novice RVers

Writer Rosemary McClure (“Bumpy Road of a Novice RVer,” Nov. 10) should be commended for having the spirit to try RVing for the first time -- with so little preparation by the rental agency.
An excellent way for novices to try a motor home is to go in the company of experienced RVers. Many groups, among them the Good Sam Club ([800] 234-3450), can put a novice in touch with clubs.
Also, the cost of an RV may be reduced by buying a used one. Many with more money than determination have purchased an RV, used it a couple of times, then lost interest. Often these rigs may be purchased at a fraction of the original cost.
With hotel rooms commonly costing more than $100 a night, it is no accident that families are turning to RVing.

A functional RV can be had for less than $10,000. Someone who has camped in tents will find any RV almost ridiculously luxurious. Warm and dry accommodations, a flush toilet, a hot shower and refrigeration are part of any RV; those who require marble countertops are merely looking for creative ways to dispose of income.
