Publisher's Synopsis
This amusing book covers early camping history, RV designs, road conditions, driving habits, campground issues, and more, with a twist. Things go wrong in each and every chapter, and that is where the humor arises. Some 230 photos (both black-and-white and color) of more than 290 separate postcards from the authors' personal collections illustrate the fun. Because camping and RVing are so popular all around the world, numerous postcards from Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, and more, are included. Many images shown are quite scarce, and some are truly rare. The text and illustrations tell the humorous side of camping and RVing, past and present. All the postcards illustrated are described in detailed captions, which include each card's age, size, maker, and estimated value. The unique approach of this new book makes it stand alone as both a resource for information and a source of good old-fashioned entertainment.
