Or if the one you have your eye on is a good deal or a money pit? Before you get too far down the road, picturing it bouncing along behind the family car, arm yourself with the information you need for all things camper.

- Visually driven: You'll find detailed illustrations as well as extensive color photography to help you get your travel trailer into shape for your next big—or little—adventure.
From the Publisher
Before World War II, camping was a pretty basic affair. You lugged a ridiculously heavy sleeping bag (and maybe an equally ridiculously heavy tent) along in your incredibly uncomfortable backpack. You found a place in the forest that was hopefully not frequented by hungry wild animals. You laid out all your kit, which took about half a day to unpack from that incredibly uncomfortable backpack. You cooked up some not-so great-tasting food and then, after admiring the stars for a while, climbed into that ridiculously heavy sleeping bag only to find you had apparently laid it on a bed of the pointiest rocks to be found inside a hundred miles.
Camping at this point in history was, understandably, only for the fairly rugged of mind, body, and spirit. Everyone else just stayed home and admired the stars from their backyards or porch swings. But in the late 1940s, all that changed for the better. In the economic postwar boom, as Americans found themselves with more and more leisure time, and manufacturers found themselves wanting to cash in on that leisure time, along came the reinvention of camping. More precisely, manufacturers refined the camper trailer.

Working on the interior of your camper involves both the practical and the aesthetic. This is your last line of defense for detecting and fixing water damage and other problems, but it is also your opportunity to inject some personality and style into your camper and put your own signature on it. That’s why working inside the camper is usually where all the fun happens!
