About the Author

Bill and Jan Moeller have lived a mobile lifestyle for more than 20 years. At present, the Moellers live fulltime in their fifth-wheel trailer and travel the year round. In addition to writing books, including RV Electrical Systems (Ragged Mountain Press, 1995), the Moellers also write a nationally syndicated newspaper column about RVing.

Bill and Jan Moeller were cruising sailors and liveaboards for more than 20 years before moving aboard a “land yacht”—an RV—where they found a very similar lifestyle on America’s highways. The fourth of their liveaboard sailboats was a 32-foot cutter in which they traversed the ICW more than a dozen times. Their frustration with existing guidebooks led them to develop this book—the only one designed to be used at a steering station on the ICW in conjunction with a chart. Every few years the Moellers return to the ICW to update their guide. At other times they roam America in their RV, favoring the West, writing and photographing books about American landscapes and history.HOMETOWN: Omaha, Nebraska
