IF YOU THINK YOU'RE SEEING MORE RECREATION VEHICLES ON THE ROAD, YOU'RE RIGHT: A RECENT STUDY BY THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN SHOWS THAT R-V OWNERSHIP IS AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH. CLOSE TO EIGHT-MILLION FAMILIES NOW OWN AN R-V. WHO ARE THEY? WHY DO THEY LOVE R-V'S? ACCORDING TO BASEBALL GREAT, NEW YORK YANKEES BROADCASTER, AND PASSIONATE R-V OWNER, JIM KAAT ["COT"], R-V'ING IS AS RELAXED A WAY TO SEE THE COUNTRY AS THERE CAN POSSIBLY BE; YOU LEAVE WHEN YOU WANT, YOU STAY WHERE YOU WANT--AND YOU CAN'T BEAT THE CONVENIENCE AND COMFORTS OF AN R-V. KAAT AND HIS WIFE MARY ANN--ALONG WITH THEIR TWO CATS--ENJOY ALL THE COMFORTS OF HOME IN THEIR STATE-OF-ART MOTOR-HOME--WHICH MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO COMBINE THEIR LOVE OF GOLF AND TRAVEL. KAAT HAS GONE FROM BEING A MAJOR LEAGUE PITCHER TO A MAJOR LEAGUE R-V OWNER; HE'LL TRAVEL ROUGHLY 45-HUNDRED MILES IN HIS R-V THIS YEAR--VISITING 20 STATES AND AS MANY GOLF COURSES. HE ADDS THAT AN R-V REALLY TAKES THE STRESS AND HASSLE OUT OF TRAVELING: NOT ONLY DO YOU GET TO SLEEP IN YOUR OWN BED, YOU ALSO DON'T WORRY ABOUT LOSING YOUR LUGGAGE--OR GOLF CLUBS. MEET MORE INTERESTING R-V'ERS--AND LEARN ABOUT THEIR LIFESTYLE--BY VISITING "GO-R-V'ING"-DOT-COM.
