It's a great feeling! Driving towards a holiday destination in a motorcaravan you've built or restored yourself - the time and effort engaged in constructional work have brought a special reward.
Build Your Own Motorcaravan is about helping
novice motorhome builders fulfill their dream. Having spent 15 years building
five motorcaravans at his home, John Wickersham learnt a lot in the process and
his expertise is set out for all to share using Haynes' proven formula of clear
step-by-step illustrations and descriptive text.

There are many ways to achieve this dream: fit out a van, renovate a
camper, revive an old model, or build one from scratch.
Whichever approach you follow, Build Your Own Motorcaravan delivers hands-on explanations about
electrical systems, water supplies, storage ideas and saving weight when
working with wood.
Of course, one of the hardest things is to trace the suppliers of
specialist parts. But places where you can buy components are all
revealed in this practical book. For a full list of contents click here.
