From the Inside Flap
The popularity of motor homes has increased dramatically in the last several years. The advantages of these homes on wheels are readily apparent, but the cost of a new unit is high. Here, for the first time, is a practical alterative: Build your own motor home by making a bus conversion. In addition to keeping the price down, you will have hours and hours of fun — and wind up with a motor home that is tailor made to your every need and preference.
Louis McClure has been building bus conversions and enjoying motor home travel for years. In this fact-filled book he tells you about the different types of used buses, how to select the one you need and where to find it. He tells you how to begin the conversion, how to make the necessary patterns, how to build all cabinets, wardrobes, dinettes, etc. Full information is provided on ranges, water heaters, space heaters, and other appliances that allow your conversion to be self-contained. Complete discussions of plumbing, wiring and gas systems follow. Mr. McClure completes this fascinating book with suggestions on maintenance and operation.
This book can open up a new world of fun and excitement through building your own bus conversion and then enjoying it for years to come.

Along with how to select and convert your bus a good book with plenty of floor plans and pictures. Alot of inspiration but not to European tastes. Again the book is done on a budget and suffers from some unclear black and white photo's but apart from that a really good book.

It is not a "how to" book. It is more of a guide and just gives suggestions. You are better off going to an RV dealer and looking at their selections and then making your own decision and ask questions on forums from there.
