Product Description
Building on the 2010 success of My Cool Caravan, this follow-up title celebrates the new wave of interest in campervans/ motorhomes and the diverse ways that owners are styling them. VW Campervans have always had a certain appeal to those who buy into the notion of the open road but the current interest in all things retro has led to a new generation exploring the freedoms which they offer. Their popularity with the Jamie Oliver generation has long been established but there is a newly emerging and as yet untapped trend to look beyond the VW to campers from other eras and manufacturers. Current campervan books on the market focus on the VW to the exclusion of the other brands and by opting to include these retro motorhomes, My Cool Campervan will steal a march on the competition and aims to make the book as inclusive as possible, thus engaging both die-hard campervanners and recent converts. By using both text and well styled photography My Cool Campervan aims to inspire a new generation of campervan owners and also to provide an idiosyncratic source book for the design conscious. Its appeal will stretch well beyond the retro male car enthusiast market. The book inspires through a well researched and sourced selection of 34 otherwise never before seen campervans, beautifully photographed and styled along with the owners stories and love affairs with their motors and style notes for each van. It is this unique mix of quality images, quirky text and book design which will set My Cool Campervan apart from the competition.

I absolutely love this book!! I too was expecting it to be all about V.W's...but fantastically full of all sorts of classic beauties I had never heard of as well as some i had, and evan some people I have been fortunate enough to meet along the way at airstream meets.
Very inspiring in everyway, fab original and unique interiors, beautifully photographed and written with a diverse choice of campervans featured inside and out, as well as the history and reading about the owners.
This book is like going on a wild expansive trip and made me feel like selling my house, throwing in the towel and getting on the road in a cool campervan.
This is a great follow up to 'my cool caravan', I didnt think it would be possible to top that one, but for freshness and originality it sits perfectly side by side.

I would expect to see lovely a Volkswagen or two this book and I wasn't disappointed, there are superb examples, but campers based on a 1970's Ford Zodiac Saloon, Citroen Dyane, Morris Oxford, BMC Mini, Morris Marina and Land Rover? Who Knew? The list goes on, and It certainly opened my eyes to the wonderful world of Cool Campervans, from Airstream to Zodiac they're all represented in this beautiful book.

I loved the first book in this series, my cool caravan, and was not disappointed when this beauty arrived. The book is full of a real variety of campervans, some really unusual, but all clearly very well loved by their owners. I love the photos and styling within the book. Its hard to pick a favourite, as much as I love VWs (as a former owner!) I love the retro look of the bedford ca on p109 and you cant help but love 'cuthbert.' Get the book, you'll love it, and maybe you may feel the need to trade in your ford focus for a cosy camper and a nice cup of tea with a view
