"Being new to caravanning, this book is an absolute must."
If you are new to caravanning (like me) then there are hundreds of complexities that I have been totally unprepared for.
Options are simple. Find a helpful person and take them everywhere you go, join lots of groups and spend hours searching for the right answer or; buy this book and just turn to the right page.
It's simply put, with lots of pictures and diagrams to help with understanding.
I think this will stay with me now as a reference if I think I know it, I can just sanity check and if I need a refresher on say, winter preps before storage. Its all in there.
A great read, and a must to include with any starter pack along with wheel locks, gas bottles and leisure battery.

"Excellent book"
I found this book to be very informative. We have just gone back into caravanning after 10 years and this book helped in answering some of our questions.
