Book Description

1994
This book will save you time, trouble and money on your European vacation. It's a 249-page guide with everything you need to know about renting, leasing, buying, driving and enjoying vans and motorhomes in Britain and Europe, with photos, cutaway drawings and vehicle descriptions.

A home on wheels saves on the major expenses -- hotels and restaurants -- as well as the daily hassle of finding rooms, packing and unpacking, and dragging luggage around. Once you move in, you have transport and accomodations for the entire trip (with private bath). You can eat out or save by experimenting with European groceries in your own little kitchen.

Europe by Van and Motorhome tells you who to call and how to do it, taking you through the whole process of selecting a vehicle to rent, or evaluating and buying a used one.

The 60 best booking and sales agencies in Europe, the UK, Australia, Canada and the US are listed, with addresses, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail addresses so you can save by dealing direct.

Complete information on trip planning, including documentation and insurance, roads and driving, finding the best campsites, traveling with children, language, money, food shopping and cooking, and more is offered.

Review

"Here's a book that can save you money and speed you on your way, too. ...It's also a complete guide to motor travel." -- San Francisco Chronicle

"Invaluable" -- Trailer Life

From the Publisher

David Shore and Patty Campbell were married after their first van trip to Europe in 1981, and have been enjoying and recommending this mode of travel ever since. They have written several books on exotic vanning, including Europe Free! The Car, Van & RV Travel Guide, New Zealand by Motorhome, and Patty's On-The-Road Gourmet.

David and Patty have been frequent guests on radio and television talk shows to explain why motorhoming is the most comfortable and economical, as well as the safest, way to visit foreign places.

Campbell is a literary critic, editor, and columnist. She is the author of five books, among which her favorite is Passing the Hat: Street Performers in America.

Shore is a journalist and magazine/public relations specialist whose writing and photography have been published internationally.

5.0 out of 5 stars Europe by Van & Motorhome, October 17, 2005
I am planning a 6 month road trip round Europe with my partner next year. And this book was an absolute god send in answering all the niggly practical issues of being on the road. Written by an American couple it is full of wonderful insights and anecdotes from their indepth experience of travelling round Europe. It covers everything from where to buy/rent a vehicle here, fave camping/free camping spots, cooking menus & equipment checklist...& even how to avoid arguments with your partner when living in such confined space! Strange that I couldn't find any similar books written by Europeans...but I suppose Americans really do know their stuff when it comes to this subject.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good basic information, March 27, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This little book is packed full of facts for the person thinking of renting a camper or motor home in Europe and touring in it for an extended period. The authors' willingness to "name names" and send their readers to vendors they've found to be reliable is worth the price of the book. Information about what to expect of your European neighbors and how to behave so they'll like you is good. How to shop for food and other tips are useful for those who have not "lived off the land" in Europe before. I would like to see this book updated -- this version is from 2007. More web site addresses and blogs would be useful as it omits cost figures (wisely, given its shelf life). I still have many unanswered questions, therefore I rate it 4 stars, not 5, but what's here is useful, practical, and well presented.
