Home Away From Home: The World of Camper Vans and Motorhomes

by Kate Trant (Editor)

This book illustrates the culture, style and philosophy of camper van and motorhome travel. Owners' 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.

I really wanted to enjoy this book. I don't know if it's because it's more of a UK book that it didn't get me or if was the way it was laid out. It just seemed chopped, plus my biggest gripe was the large pages with little text and photographs. It seemed like it wasted so much room that could have had more of both! This book is about RVing in US & UK, but mainly focuses on British camping. Some of the historical photographs are interesting. I just wish there had been more of them. Good for a coffee table book, but not worth the money in my opinion.
