Signs on the road ahead

Read the signs
before the road teaches you.

Out bush, a yellow sign tells you what's coming before you get there. These are the signs I wish someone had shown me, and the collection covers every one.

Meet the author

G'day, I'm Shane

I'm 66. I grew up on a cattle station outside Broken Hill, right in the Australian outback, and spent 22 years as a diesel mechanic in the mines.

At 40 I sold the house and moved into a caravan. That was 26 years ago: eighteen years out bush, five laps of Australia, and the last eight here in the States with an American travel trailer and a pickup. Forty-one states so far.

Every week I watch good people pay for things a grey nomad sorts out on his own. These three books are everything from my videos, written for your American RV. Every chapter has an "Easier on your back & knees" box and a "Towable or motorhome?" box, because the steps aren't always the same.

See you down the road, mate. — Shane

Is it for you?

This is for you if…

  • You're over 60 and living full-time in your RV, or seriously thinking about it.
  • One Social Security check has to cover the road, and some months it doesn't.
  • You've paid for a repair, a shop that wouldn't see you, or a mistake that cost you money and sleep.
  • Winter, a flat battery or a long empty road far from help still makes you nervous.

It's not for you if you'd rather wait for someone else to come and fix it. Out there, nobody's coming. These books show you how to handle it yourself, one step at a time.

Questions

Before you
decide

I'm nearly seventy. Am I too old to start this?

No. Plenty of us start late. Every chapter in all three books has an "Easier on your back & knees" box: working heights, long-handled tools, sitting down, asking for help. If your body has a say, talk to your doctor first.

I have a motorhome, not a trailer. Does it still work?

Yes. Every chapter has a "Towable or motorhome?" box wherever the steps change, and each book ends with a summary for both.

Can one Social Security check really cover the road?

Vol. II shows you how to make one check cover it, with your own numbers: the costs nobody writes down, two funds for bad days, cheaper nights and a 12-week money plan. No made-up prices. Your numbers come from real quotes, and tax or Medicare questions go to a professional.

What about a hard winter in the RV?

Vol. III has a full chapter on severe winter in your RV and a guided plan for your first winter. Safe heat first: never the oven or the stovetop, and a CO alarm you've tested.

My RV is over ten years old. Will parks turn me away?

Some parks have their own 10-year rule. Vol. II has a chapter on it: what they look at, what to say when you call, the six photos to send, and getting the yes in writing before you drive.

Is this about Australia?

No. It's about your American RV on American roads. The Aussie part is the way of doing things: carry it, prepare it, fix it yourself and spend little.

What exactly do I get?

The complete collection gives you all three volumes for $97. Vol. I and Vol. II are also sold on their own ($27 and $47); Vol. III only comes in the complete collection.

How do I receive it?

Right after payment you get your access link, on screen and by email. It's yours to keep, and there's nothing to wait for.

Can I read it on a tablet or computer? Can I print it?

Yes. It opens on any phone, tablet or computer. You can zoom the text as large as you like, or print the pages and cards at home and pin them up in the rig.

Is the payment secure?

Yes. You'll pay on a secure checkout page run by Payhip, a platform used by thousands of independent authors. Pay by card or PayPal. It's a one-time payment: no subscription.

What if it's not for me?

You're covered by a 7-day money-back guarantee. Ask for a refund within 7 days and you get every cent back. Just write to business@theaussierv.com.

Nobody's coming to fix it.
