The Caravan & Motorhome Book covers every conceivable aspect of campervan and motorhome choice and usage. It originated with the author's trans-Africa trip (including two Sahara crossings) plus twelve times across the centre of Australia from Broome to the east coast and back (24 trips - each of 7000 km plus). The Caravan & Motorhome Book is aided by the author being an ex motor industry research engineer, yet is written in everyday down-to-earth English.
