Description:

This book illustrates the culture, style and philosophy of camper van and motorhome travel. Owner's stories of road trips, adventures and epic voyages provide an exciting backdrop to the extraordinary history of the vehicles. The vans and motorhomes themselves are also looked at in - detail - from the VW Bus and the Airstream to deluxe American models, with special attention paid to the technical and design strategies that informed them.
