First in the Field 
 
Hazel Constance/ The Camping and Caravanning Club
First in the field charts both the history of The Camping and Caravanning Club and the camping industry itself over the past 100 years. It includes stories and anecdotes from many camping enthusiasts and allows you to compare childhood memories of camping with your family to modern day tent and caravan holidaying. The photographs in the book are superb and I would recommend First in the Field just for these alone.

Follow That Caravan  
Gordon Channer
Although these books are novels (adventure, risks and dangers, sadness and elation, but most of all humour) they are actually a true story. The valley, the village, waterwheel and tower to which Jan was tied - they're all waiting for you to visit. Truth is better than fiction sometimes and even the names of the various people are generally real, just a few changed when they involve embarrassing incidents! That unbelievable courtroom type drama at the end of the book is also true - and I can prove it. I've been very careful to approach those mainly involved and get their written confirmation. There is romance too, not quite so explicit as in the previous book - Jan won't let me write another piece like that! And a love of animals and all things natural - we really did have 300 wasps in the kitchen, friendly little creatures, some of them fed happily from a finger, and those three abandoned young owls in the bathroom were a delight, safely released back to the wild when they were strong enough. This pleasure in animals is a minor part of the story, but runs through the whole series - there is intrigue, and fun with the children; with the grandparents too; a family tale. Will you like the series? Not much chance you may think, of getting an honest answer to that question from the author! I'd better stay neutral, just pass on the comments of others. Many women have told me their husbands never read, but have picked up the books to see what caused the laughter, then they get absorbed and won't give them back! Now that's real encouragement for any author. Try one, see if you like them, or as a present perhaps for someone special - but a word of warning; each book follows on where the previous one ends, so start with the first.

RV in UK: a Guide to the British Operation of an American Motorhome
David Berry
American motorhomes are great vehicles but many people are daunted at the thought of operating one in a UK environment. This book is their reassurance; there are differences to European motorcaravans but nothing that cannot be overcome. Those differences are examined and the various types of RV are explained. The utilities - gas, electricity and water - are scrutinised. Then thoughts turn to engineering, driving and legal matters. This is all in preparation for getting on the road, so the next topic is places to stay. Car towing is a natural accompaniment to an RV and this is studied in some detail. Security, a bit of DIY - everything relevant to RV operating is covered. This book would help, in a general way, those considering hiring in the USA. The whole is a piece of solid advice on the operation of one of these splendid motorhomes here in the UK.

Making Model Gypsy Caravans
John Thompson

Excellent source book for modellers
The detailed scale drawings by John Thompson are really good and details of the Dunton 'Ledge' Caravan are so good that one could actually make a real one from them. I have built a number of models from this book, each one different in style and painting though the Dunton I prefer as the original. Clear, consise, and to the point!
