Editorial Review: MMM Dec 06: "...packed with reference material... In a nutshell, this book would be of value to every motorcaravanner." Caravan Club Magazine.

Caravan, Motorhome & Camping Mart Dec 06: "...destined to become the essential travellers' Bible ...well researched and quite exhaustive in the topics covered..." Motorhome Monthly Nov 06: "...As an experienced motorhome user, I particularly found chapter 9 'Country Guides' extremely useful... " Practical Motorhome Magazine October 2006: "... a remarkable new publication,....It is something I am very keen on and very much back up their advice.... Book Description: Go Motorhoming has been described as the Bible, it is groundbreaking, there is no other single source that provides this information. It easy to read and covers every conceivable subject and question. It was written by full-time motorhomers who have toured the four corners of Europe. They succeeded in writing a reference book that truly is invaluable and is guaranteed to make your motorhome experiences easier, richer and safer. Synopsis: A guide of practical advice on Motorhoming in Europe. From the Publisher: Go Motohoming is a reference book that can be dipped in and out of, to use as the need arises. We recommend that you read it from cover to cover and we get emails every day from exhilarated customers that have done exactly that. Mostly they express their deepest gratitude, often saying that it completely clarified what type of motorhome they are going to buy and how much more confidant they feel about everything, especially what to expect when visiting Europe. Many say that it had prevented them making expensive mistakes, all agree it will save them money. From the Author: Go Motorhoming was written because we were so frustrated that no one else had. The information available was sketchy and contradictory. We knew that a detailed reference book was required that gave the truth in simple English. British buyers have had the wool pulled over their eyes for long enough the industry has always been manufacturer and accessory led. There has been a noticeable change in the motorhome press and especially motorhome forums since publication. Subjects that were not talked about because it was thought too risky or nobody wanted to own up to it are now popping up out of the woodwork. Readers of Go Motorhoming are so well armed that the expensive mistakes made by nearly all new motorhomers including ourselves are unlikely. We wanted to create the complete book of answers and the thousands of readers and critics have all agreed that we did just that. We know you will enjoy Go Motorhoming and are happy to answer any questions you may have after reading; our contact details are in the book and too date we only get occasional queries but do get plenty of thank you letters and emails. About the Author: Chris Doree and Meli George have always been around the camping and caravan scene. Chris's families love for fishing and the great outdoors provided many nights under canvas and he bought his first caravan at the tender age of 27. Meli is third generation, her grandfather having built his own caravan in true post war fashion. Family holidays were enjoyed both under canvas and in various touring caravans. They met during a humanitarian aid convoy to Kosovo, Meli driving a converted transit and Chris an HGV. Whilst sat at Bari docks, Southern Italy, they dreamt of a grand tour. Two caravans, two motorhomes and 18 months of intense research later, they set off to see the sights and seek a new life. We still motorhome and are still writing motorhome books. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A "must have " reference book for prospective motorhomersUnfortunately I didn't buy this book until I had owned a motorhome for a year and I still have found it an excellent source of information. This book is essential reading for anyone looking to join the increasing numbers of motorhomers. It contains the answers to most questions you have and gives excellent guidance on sensible considerations to be made when looking for your first motorhome. I can't recommend this book highly enough. If you only buy one book to help you decide, make it this one. Rating:  - The Best of a Bad Lot?Books on this subject are fairly few and far between so it's good to come across one with a reasonable amount of information gleaned from personal experience. This one, in common with all the others on the topic that I've come across (although to a much lesser extent), would benefit from proper proof-reading. I find it detracts from my enjoyment when a book is peppered with bad punctuation and poor grammar - and schoolboy howlers such as describing the Greek alphabet as "Cyrillic" are really inexcusable! Final verdict: a worthwhile purchase for the knowledge contained in it. Let's hope that the next edition irons out as many of the wrinkles as possible. Rating: - A Must BuyI have purchased a few RV/Motorhome/caravan books and manuals over time, and this Second Edition book is without a doubt the best purchase I have made so far. It is thoughtfully laid out with easy to find references. The chapters cover most systems and equipment that you'll be likely to install or take with you, without it getting too technical or boring. The beginner will find this book invaluable, whereas the more experienced should still find it very useful, if not educational. The book is packed with some very good advise and suggestions. If you're thinking of buying a motorhome (or caravan), you will be glad you bought this book, I was. |
