Inspirational Books For Road Trips By Camper Van To Read During Lockdown

What better time to start dreaming about and planning your next camper van road trip (for when lockdown ends obviously!).

Someone was kind enough to buy me a couple of the Take The Slow Road books for Christmas and they are fantastic! They are an essential book for any camper van owner.

There’s three books available by camper van guru Martin Dorey covering most of the UK.

Forget hurrying. Forget putting your foot down and racing through sweeping bends. Forget the blur of a life lived too fast. This is a look at taking life slowly. Its about taking the time to enjoy journeys and places for their own sake. Its about stopping and putting the kettle on. Stopping to take a picture. Stopping to enjoy stopping. How are you going to do it? In a camper van or a motorhome, of course.

These books are interspersed with beautiful photos, handy maps and quirky travel writing from the king of camper vans and motorhomes, Martin Dorey. So if all you want to do is flick through it on a cold day and plan your next outing, you’ll be transported (albeit slowly) to pastures, beaches, mountains and highways that make you want to turn the key and go, go, go!
