Motorhome self-build and optimisation

The 489 pages of my book, "Motorhome, self-build and optimisation", give you a detailed account of how I turned my dream of building a motorhome into a reality. The project is broken down into 39 chronological chapters and more than 1,200 photographs. But this isn't just a book listing components I used and how I installed them, it also makes you privy as to why I chose them. This way you have the reasoning which may indeed encourage you to decide otherwise if something is better suited to your own needs. I also cover a host of improvements I made over the years since its completion and explaining the reasoning behind each one. The current edition also gives you a thorough overview of just about every heating and warm water system on the market, explains all the different toilet systems, as well as covering the various types of batteries and their charging/discharging characteristics. In many cases, you'll even find alternatives to the products I chose. I should point out that the products covered are largely of German or European origin from internationally reputed manufacturers and can be found in most countries around the world. Finally, I list all my sources, how much I paid for each item and summarise the total cost and overall time it took to complete the build. The book also contains an access code to my website where you can download a design tool for the interior layout and a planning tool for the electrical circuit. I address not only the person looking to build an expedition truck, but anyone owning a motorhome willing to get their hands dirty, or just wanting to learn more about how each component plays in relation to everything else. It doesn't matter if we're talking about a panel van, a bus, an RV, a 4x4 or a full blown expedition truck. Even though this is the first English edition, it is in fact a translation of the fifth German edition which has since established itself as a bible for all German speaking motorhome self-builders and optimisers.
