This practical inspirational, and visual guide is for anyone interested in vintage campers, even those who don’t intend to purchase and renovate an old RV. Payne, the blogger known as “Nailgun Nelly,” offers loads of well-earned advice on ways to find, improve upon, and make these small spaces more livable and enjoyable. Though the focus is on older campers, the book compares the needs of newer models as well to maintain perspective. Payne touches on installing electrical systems, plumbing, spotting water damage, different considerations for flooring, design concepts to make the space one’s own, and space-saving ideas so readers can bring along everything they need on their travels. From simple fixes like replacing a faucet to complex ones like pouring an epoxy countertop that looks like granite, this book covers it all, with plenty of photos and explanations to inspire anyone with even a touch of wanderlust.
VERDICT A great addition for DIY and home improvement collections, and a title that will add a fun twist to travel displays.
