This non¿ction book views Canada from a personal perspective, similar to John Steinbeck's view of America in his 1960 book Travels with Charley. The author travels from coast to coast in a trailer with his wife and pets, including their Standard Poodle, Elly, in order to gain a better understanding of his adopted country. Interspersed between descriptions of history, cultures, places, and icons are the author's re¿ections on various things such as Elly's antics, signage, ferries, political injustice, environmental issues, and animal instincts. To provide a canine's perspective, Elly re¿ects on things of interest to her, including cats, cows, and other critters...but especially cats!Where was Canada's ¿ rst settlement? What is its prettiest town? When and where was its most devastating shipwreck? And who was its greatest hero? Find out by reading this account of the author's journey through a unique and wondrous country, brimming with marvelous natural and man-made icons. But above all, the author's interactions with its hospitable people make him justi¿ably proud to be Canadian. An informative read for armchair travelers with a spirit of adventure, for those wanting to learn more about Canada, and for any cross-Canada traveler, especially RVers and dog lovers.American Book Fest Best Books Awards Finalist

Every year thousands of RVers hit the road for fun and adventure, but RVing has built in misadventures-backing into a tree, bending a jack stand, and more-spoiling an otherwise perfect outing. For the past ten years, the author has asked RVers the same question: "What's the dumbest thing you've done while RVing?" Each year, he has given an award for the dumbest mishap. In this funny and helpful handbook, 101 of these mishaps come together so the reader can learn from other people's mistakes, saving them unnecessary grief and cash. ¿ Always use a spotter when entering or departing a campsite. ¿ Do a walk-around inspection before moving your rig. ¿ Never flush out your blackwater tank after dressing for church.Practical and comical, this a great read for all RVers, both veterans and novices.
