by Jill Malcolm and Bill Savidan, Random House, $45
Have you ever seen a happy bunch of people tootling merrily down the highway in a motorhome, taking their self-contained holiday accommodation on wheels to some wild and wonderful spot, and thought you'd like to do the same? If so, this book is for you.
It's primarily written for folk who haven't yet had a motorhome experience (though, judging from the rising tide of motorhomes on our highways, you'd think there can't be many of them).
It's full of information about what to look out for when buying or renting, how to operate the toilet systems, what to take on a trip, checking the vehicle, responsible camping, using a dump station, driving a large vehicle and looking after children.
There's also a pretty comprehensive list of great places to stay.
