Life on the move

The Getaways explores van travel as both a practical arrangement and a way of life, showing how vehicles can be adapted into homes for the road. Its examples range from minimalist interiors and rustic conversions to design-focused builds, with journeys across Arctic roads, the African continent, and surf coastlines. Family travel and working between surf sessions also feature, giving the book a broad view of how people combine mobility, daily routines, and time outdoors. The focus is as much on the vehicles and their living spaces as on the journeys they make possible.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in van conversions, mobile living, and vehicle design.
  • For travel enthusiasts drawn to road trips and outdoor journeys.
  • For readers curious about family travel or working while on the road.

Book overview

Get in the van and hit the open road for a weekend, a vacation or a long haul across the continent. What it's like and what it takes. The Getaways shows how creativity and ingenuity can turn vans into a cozy home on the move: from the cozily minimalist to rustic charms and design icons. Take an overlander onto the snow-covered roads in the Arctic Circle, drive a converted school bus around the African continent, work between your surf sessions from rugged coastlines, take your family on a journey that creates lasting memories. This book is about a nomadic way of life that redefines mobility, and about the vehicles that enable it.
