This
is a fascinating book and will be of interest not only to die hard
fans of classic motorhomes, but also to anyone with an interest
in the background history of our chosen leisure vehicles.
It starts with the early 1900s and covers the development of the
motorhome right up to 2002.
One of the great pioneers of motorhome production, Eccles Motor
Caravans, has a chapter to itself. Other chapters are Pioneers 1900
- 1940; Growing Popularity 1950 - 1970; The Boom Years 1970 - 1975;
Status and Sophistication 1975 on.
The book has many original photographs, most in colour, and excerpts
from manufacturers sales brochures and gives interesting insights
into the evolution and relationships of the companies and the vehicles
they produced.
