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.

Without doubt, this is the best book we have ever read . . . it will be treasured, and read on a regular basis.
