Book Synopsis
Nigel Donnelly edited Practical Caravan and Practical Motorhome magazines for 14 years, owning various leisure vehicles and trundling all over Europe and beyond in search of self-catered solace. He currently owns a Volkswagen camper called Wilma. Sometimes she works. This title will be one of 4 new Concise Manuals which will be published at the same time, creating a positive start to a range that fits perfectly into this smaller manual format. The price point and size will appeal in particular to the independent and gift trade, but will also compete well with other similar titles in these subject areas. A fresh, modern cover design will still have elements of the recognised classic manual cover, but will sit well with the fashionable, contemporary cover designs that are popular in today's booktrade. The variety of people seduced by the idea of living, or at least holidaying, in a home on wheels is wide and all-encompassing; from retired couples to digital nomads, and from surfers living on an extreme budget to start-up professionals. This book celebrates every aspect of a home on wheels, with help and advice on successful holidays, exciting sabbaticals and even a complete transformation to van life, leaving the static comfort of a roof and four walls and heading off into the unknown. Chapters include help on choosing your vehicle, where to find ad-vice on refurb and conversion, what to pack, what to leave behind, and how to achieve those day-to-day challenges on the open road – like making a cup of coffee, getting your laundry done and finding a safe place to sleep.
