This is a very helpful video for both beginning RVers and veterans. Although I've been RVing for two decades, I still picked up some valuable tips from this 30-minute video that I never would have thought of myself, but will put to good use in my future trips.

Hosts Joe and Vicki Kieva provide tips on the following topics (and more):

- How to get the best campsites.

I recommend this video for RVers who have already mastered the basics of RVing, but who still have a lot to learn. For very beginning RVers, I think Mark Polk's RV Education 101 video would be a better first choice. "Top 40 RV Camping Tips" picks up where Polk leaves off.
