Mobile Mansions: Taking "Home Sweet Home" on the Road Paperback – Illustrated, 8 April 2019

Printing, paper, contents, nothing average, items like this discourage you to do online purchases, very disappointing

What a delightful book to read - superb conversation piece with a lot of RV history that I did not know about.

il faut s'intéresser au sujet bien-sûr. Ce livre fait bien le tour de la question avec un historique très intéressant. Parmi les sujets abordés les vans, les bus convertis, les constructions personnelles, je ne pense que rien n'est oublié et les photos sont bonnes et circonstanciés

This book is an important part of my classic RV library, along with 2 other vintage RV books by the same author,"Ready to Roll" (my favorite classic RV book) and "Silver Palaces".While Ready to Roll gives you some history and shows the evolution of American trailers, this book focuses on motor homes, including some home made versions and strange versions from other countries that you will not see on our roads. This book is smaller than Ready to Roll, at 200 photos instead of 300, but it is quite interesting. The big brands are also here, Airstream, GMC, Winnebago, The smart layout of the book is fun and engaging, and the photos are big & beautiful and done with a love for the subject, like his other RV books. There are also antique photos of old RV's as well as nostalgic promotional material from the manufacturer's. I have a soft spot for the older restored RV's myself, and they are faithfully included.

As RVers of varying stripes since the dawn of the Winnebago era (occasional renters of class A's and C's until buying a diesel pusher in 2006 and owners of a pop-up from '89 until last year) we have at least a bit of street cred on this subject. Douglas Keister's coffee-table tome on RVing is well-written and lavishly illustrated with photos of his subjects, which range from the earliest car-campers and trailers to the modern RV. Probably every knowledgable RVer would choose a slightly different mix of makes and models to highlight, but Mr. Keister's choices are as good as any and likely better than most. We carry our copy with us in our Allegro Bus and visitors who come aboard invariably find it as enjoyable as we do. Get one for your RVing friends/family members; they'll thank you.
