One of the First Manuals on Car Camping and Recreational Vehicles
This deluxe unabridged reprint Legacy Edition of Elon Jessup’s historic The Motor Camping Book is full of classic tips and methods for making the most out of your car camping and recreational vehicle trips. As one of the first books on RVs and car camping published originally in 1921, this vintage book is an essential text for seeing how car camping, trailer life, and campers enjoyed themselves when cars were few and outdoors touring roads were all still covered in dirt!
Jessup’s analysis and discussion of car camping was ahead of its time. Jessup describes in detail some of the finer points of motor vehicle camping in its earliest days, including chapters on why we camp in our vehicles in the first place, what to pack in your car, water considerations, cooking kits and utensils, cooking fires, food boxes, sleeping arrangements and how to set up tents, car-based shelters in original motor cars, furnishing your campsite, staying out of trouble with common car-based challenges, where to camp with your car in 1921, and laws for motorists of the day.
This vintage book includes timeless RV and motor vehicle camping topics. It makes a perfect gift for car campers, van life enthusiasts, trailer and camper RV die-hards, and anyone who longs to spend a weekend or longer in their RV, young and old! This is the classic manual of RVs, preserved for over a century! It also makes a great gift for outsoorspeople, bushcrafters, survivalists, campers, and scouts. Although this book represents thought from a former time, it also reveals much about the rich history of recreational vehicles, and many of the tips, tricks, and discussions are still relevant for study today!
