Build Your Own Overland Camper Manual - Designing, building and kitting out vans and trucks for overland travel

If you have a passion for off-the-beaten-track adventure, being immersed in spectacular landscapes, witnessing exotic wildlife, and visiting diverse cultures - all at a pace set by you - an overland camper can turn your dreams into reality.
This manual gives clear and helpful advice on how to establish the kind of overlanding vehicle most appropriate to your own particular needs and, with clear step-by-step guidance, will help you through the process of designing, building and fitting-out your own ultimate overlanding companion.

Whether you decide you would be best served by a converted van, a converted off-the-peg-motorhome, or by what - for many - is the last word in overlanding vehicles: a truck based camper, you will find clear and concise advice on build techniques, plus guidance on the equipment and systems most suited to the demands of truly autonomous travel.

As well as sections covering installations of water supply and electrical systems, gas, heating, cooling, washrooms, kitchens and home-from-home luxuries, this essential manual clearly demystifies the 'black arts' of coping with chassis induced torsional stress and how to build your own bespoke habitation box from scratch.

Author Steven Wigglesworth has utilised his largely self-taught mechanical and engineering skills to create motor vehicles capable of facilitating self-contained overland travel and has modified a couple of mainstream motorcaravans and built a van based overland camper.
He is passionate about truck based overlanding vehicles in particular and as a result of countless hours of research plus empirical knowledge gained by years of hands-on work and spending time travelling in his own creations, he has the ability to write with authority on the subject.

Classic Dormobile Camper Vans - A Guide to the Camper Vans of Martin Walter and Dormobile

Dormobile, a name inescapably linked with camper vans, grew out of a Folkestone coachbuilding company called Martin Walter's. In 1957, the first really affordable camper van , the Dormobile, was introduced. It was a great success and within a couple of years, over 10,000 had been sold.

The factory produced camper vans in such huge numbers throughout the 1950s, 60s and 70s that they were by far the leading producer of motorcaravans within the UK. The pop-up, candy-striped roofs became a common sight at campsites and on beaches all over Britain and abroad.

Dormobile used a variety of base vehicles but perhaps the best known are the Bedford CA Romany, the Volkswagen split and bay vans and the Land Rover, all instantly recognisable with their pop-up roofs. The company also made a series of coach-built models including the Debonair and Newlander on Bedford and Toyota chassis.
Telling the Martin Walter and Dormobile story, this book is a complete guide to these camper vans.

Campervans - Was man über den Kastenwagen als Wohnmobile wissen muss

Camper vans are popular: the converted vans are narrow enough to drive on narrow streets and yet spacious enough to transport bulky items.
In Germany, there are over 350 models from around 50 brands: short, medium or long, high or extra high vans with standard, GRP or pop-up roofs, based on Fiat, Citroën, Peugeot, Renault, Ford, Volkswagen or Mercedes-Benz. This selection is not only overwhelming for van newbies.

This book explains everything you need to know about vans - from the advantages and disadvantages of the various floor plans to the electricity, gas, water and heat supply on board to buying a used vehicle or renting your own vehicle.
Comprehensive checklists and numerous practical tips round off this standard work on camper vans.
