No - not, that is, until VW Bus - 40 years of \nSplitties, Bays \u0026amp; Wedges was conceived.\n\nAs a direct consequence of the lack of print available, author Richard \nCopping has collected a wealth of contemporary brochures from all the \nleading converters, knitted them together and produced a unique and \nvibrant story of the VW Camper from the first and often rustic \nconversions of the 1950s to the sophisticated homes on wheels of the \nlate 1980s.\n\nStripping out the original text, Richard has carefully replaced it with \nhis own lively yet informative story - while carefully retaining both \nthe popular look and nostalgic feel of the age.

Those that haven’t collapsed \nin a forgotten heap long ago are being dragged out of hedges and barns \nand restored by enthusiasts to their full period glory – and it is not \nhard to see why, for the wonderful variety and in many cases sheer \nboldness of their styling, ranging wildly from mock Tudor to teardrop \nstreamline, makes them extraordinarily attractive to today’s eyes, \naccustomed as we are to the bland uniformity of current offerings. In \nthis book may be found details of manufacturers in Britain who started \nup before World War II. About half of them had ceased trading by 1939 \nand a number of others did not return to production after the War. Where \nmakers did start up again details have been included and, whilst nearly \nall of these have since gone out of business, Carlight and Eccles are \nmarques which still exist today – albeit under different ownership. All \nof them, from ABC to Yorkshire, and their products, are included in \nthese pages, with the exception of the ones of which there is no \nsurviving record. Roger Ellesmere’s painstaking research over a number \nof years has yielded information on 177 makers from this period, whose \noutputs ranged from around 300 caravans per year down to six, but it is \ndoubtful whether even 20 of these firms were producing the 50 vans a \nyear needed to qualify for membership of the Caravan Manufacturers’ \nAssociation. Accompanying the text are more than 300 illustrations, a \npleasing mixture of archive photographs with reproductions from \nmanufacturers’ advertising and publicity material, including some \nsplendid period artwork. This ingredient in particular gives a strong \nflavour of the days when these caravans were to be seen out and about on \nBritain’s roads, heading for happy holidays. Published in association \nwith The Caravan Club, this book surely has a place on the bookshelf of \nevery caravanner interested in how the caravans we know today have \nevolved over the 90-odd years since the first trailer caravans were \nbuilt for sale. It is hoped that the publishers will soon be able to \nbring out Volume Two, in which Roger Ellesmere will deal with the many \nhundreds of firms who took up making caravans after 1945.\n\nRoger Ellesmere is a retired quantity surveyor. He remembers being taken \nby his parents in the mid-1950s to visit friends holidaying in a caravan \nat Ulrome on the East Yorkshire coast. Once inside, he was hooked, and \ncaravans have been an abiding interest ever since.Later, he decided that \nas detailed a record as possible should be made of the mostly small and \nlargely forgotten firms who have engaged in caravan manufacture in \nBritain. He was deterred from making a start due to the time commitment \nthat would be required, but a spell of unemployment in 1996 provided the \nincentive to begin -- initially on a single work but subsequently split \ninto two parts to enable the publication of this book, Volume One. His \noriginal estimate of the time commitiment was a grow under-estimate! \nRoger has been a Caravan Club member for more than 20 years.","brand":"Herridge \u0026 Sons Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31911961165895,"sku":"B05153","price":41.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/b05153.jpg?v=1772273917"},{"product_id":"volkswagen-bus-modify-suspension-brakes-chassis-for-high-performance-book-vw","title":"Volkswagen Bus Modify Suspension Brakes Chassis For High Performance Book VW","description":"NEW UPDATED EDITION\nFeatures?

Given the resurgence of interest in modified and performance engines, this is a must when uprating the rest of the bus, and is pitched at both the enthusiast and semi-professional....What I liked was the way all the different methods and products for carrying out a job are explained in detail, with excellent colour photographs to ilustrate... Just browsing and dipping into the text is fun; I am not a technical person, nor do I have any plans to modify our bus, but I was drawn into the book and have spent several enjoyable hours absorbed in a technical book!

In fact, he was way ahead of his time when he designed and built an affordable, easy to tow, totally self-contained travel trailer in his garage in 1956. By the 1990s the Serro Scotty brand had exploded into a full line of trailers including fifth wheels, 50-foot park models and eventually a line of motorhomes. But in 1997 the bright light of the Serro Scotty trailer company took a dark turn when its plant in Irwin, Pennsylvania, burned down, marking the end of the production line. Eventually, in 2007, Serro Scotty Worldwide was formed and a new version modeled after John Serro's original vision was back on the market and can be spotted alongside its older sibling in campgrounds around the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday, hundreds of thousands of people live in RVs permanently, and even more use campers and RVs for recreation. This is the first and only book to give an entertaining look at the history and evolution of this popular lifestyle and hobby. Hundreds of nostalgic photographs show a wide variety of campers and RVs throughout the entire 20th century. See early auto tent-camping, converted buses, fold-out trailers, homemade campers, foreign exploration expeditions and even traveling chapels with living quarters for pastors! Anyone who has ever enjoyed RVs and campers will be thrilled by this retrospective look at these vehicles and their predecessors throughout the 20th Century. Chapters broken down by decade with brief 2-3 page introductory material for each chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"midlife classic cars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46123086872856,"sku":"KIT14339\/B02408","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/kit14339b02408.jpg?v=1772267256"},{"product_id":"my-cool-campervan","title":"My Cool Campervan","description":"Join Jane Field-Lewis and Chris Haddon as they set off on a 3500-mile trip to locate campervans and proud owners, sharing their memories of family holidays under candy-striped pop-top roofs and of sunny days and simple pleasures.
