Full Description
Campervans come in different forms. Some are full to the brim with furniture, equipment, tools and everything else you may need for a life on the road. Others are blindingly simple, with next to nothing inside. Some look homemade, like a cosy burrow or hobbit hole. Others stand on the cutting edge, utilising composite materials and insulation developed by NASA. Whatever campervan you dream of owning, this book will give you the practical knowledge and inspiration to make it a reality. It also tells the stories of people who have gone through the whole process and makes you aware of the do's and don'ts along the way. You'll find, as author Calum Creasey, owner of conversion company Onwards Adventure Vehicles, puts it: 'There are few things that, when built by your own hands, hold the power to alter your life as much as a campervan.'
