This is just a fascinating book of people living the American dream and becoming nomads by obtaining vintage Airstream trailers， renovating them， then hitting the road。 A few have experience， others as they go， or by talking to others。 Their stories and experiences are more than fascinating to read。 Plus， the book is full of their before and after pictures along with themselves。 I highly recommend this book。

The Modern Caravan By Kate Oliver Spectacular visuals capturing the shared love， outdoors， design， and tiny homes on wheels。 Loved the notes， helpful hints， and sources。 Captures the spirit of DIY design， renovation， and lifestyle crafting。

The pictures make the book。 Accompanied by the brief stories of the creators and renovators of the campers， vans， and buses， it’s a marvelous testimony to stoking one’s desire to live more independently and less encumbered。Thanks to Edelweiss and Chronicle Books for the early copy。
