A weekend away in a stylish caravan provides the perfect antidote to 21st-century living and more and more people are now taking a look at caravans, breathing fresh 'retro' vibes into the humble caravan and campervan. Old style caravans and campervans also tap into the nostalgia/retro market and the desire for a simpler lifestyle. My Cool Caravan aims to inspire with both text and well-styled photography a new generation of caravan and campervan owners and provide an idiosyncratic sourcebook for the design conscious. The inspiration for the styling can come from many different sources - this book looks at 40 styled caravans of all vintages, from across the world, covering themes such as Country Cottage, Old Retro, Trailer Park Treasures, Silver Bullets and Recycled.

About the Author
Jane is a London-based stylist working in film and photography. She co-owns a 1970s retro--modern styled caravan -- a perfect little hideaway where it is easy to be creative. Chris Haddon is a multi-disciplinary designer with almost 20 years experience. He has a huge passion for all things retro and among his collection of vintage caravans is his studio which is a converted 1960s Airstream. He had for many years hankered after the perfect classic car to accompany his retro caravans. The journey that he took when looking for the car he now owns led him to admire and consider many various possibilities along the way.

This is a brilliant book, really inspirational if you are thinking of glamming up your caravan! There are plenty of examples given, of great caravan renovations, with style notes and the stories behind them. I'd highly recommend this book, whether you have a vintage caravan (I haven't) or are just interested in the style.
