Sidebars examine topics like clever designs that make <b>small living</b> possible, the <b>evolution of campers and gear</b> over the ages, <b>tips for trailer living</b>, <b>first-person anecdotes</b> from enthusiasts, and much more. Along the way, Foster covers all of the most popular camper and van brands, such as <b>Winnebago</b>, <b>Airstream</b>, <b>Shasta</b>, <b>Spartan</b>, <b>Scamp</b>, <b>Volkswagen</b>, and <b>more</b>. <p/> Whether lived on the road, your driveway, or your armchair--your minimalist adventure starts here.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>One of America's best-known automotive writers, <b> Patrick R.
