Overview:
Two indispensable Haynes manuals for the caravanning enthusiast come together in this practical two-book collection. The Caravan Manual, first published in 1993 and now in its fourth edition, features a completely revised text and many new illustrations to illuminate every essential task. It guides both seasoned caravanners and beginners, from maintaining older caravans to understanding the very latest models, with fresh information on caravan weights, weighbridges, and related legal considerations. You’ll also find detailed coverage of electronic and computerised wiring systems, plus major updates to chapters on chassis, running gear, body construction, gas and all electrical details. Build Your Own Motorcaravan (2nd Edition) is a hands-on manual for van conversions, coachbuilts and major renovation projects. It walks you through turning a base van into a customised holiday home, with up-to-date guidance on electrical systems, water supplies, storage solutions, and weight-saving strategies when working with wood.

The collection offers a cohesive learning path: understand the vehicle inside out, then apply that mastery to a personalised build. For DIY enthusiasts, campers and families alike, it’s a rare, value-packed bundle that saves time, reduces risk and elevates confidence for every stage of the caravan journey, from plan to road-ready reality.
