Description
Following along the lines of Shelter's DIY books on building, this is a survey of state-of-the-art nomadic vehicles: homes on wheels. Practically every one of the 70 or so rigs shown here is owner-built, as opposed to the "off-the-shelf" units such as $200,000 Winnebago Sprinter vans, or $600,000 Earthroamers (yes!). One camper shell in the book was built with $300 worth of used materials. People who have enjoyed Shelter, Home Work, Tiny Homes, or Tiny Homes on the Move will love this book.

Person
Lloyd Kahn started covering builders and buildings when he was the shelter editor of the Whole Earth Catalog in 1968. In 1973, he produced the by-now legendary book Shelter, documenting building methods around the world, and covering the ’60s countercultural movement in building. Since then he has published 12 books on building, including Tiny Homes, Home Work, Tiny Homes on the Move, Small Homes, and The Half-Acre Homestead: 46 Years of Building and Gardening. He and his wife, Lesley, reside in Bolinas, California,
