motorhome books

Books we love, and ones on our wish list!

We hope reading our blog is inspiring you to go for it and travel, whether it’s a weekend away on RyanAir, or a year or two away in your motorhome. Below are a few books we’ve read and which inspired us to quit work and travel for a while, some that are on our wishlist and others that have helped us to travel – maps, phrase and guide books.

Motorhoming Adventures

Some motorhome books are about adventures in a motorhome, others are more practical ‘how to’ books. Both are great for motorhoming inspriation – although we are a bit biased as we’ve written some of these!

  

Inspirational Travel Books

Books don’t have to be about motorhomes to inspire your travels. We love reading travel books from the places we are visiting. Here are a few of our favourite.

     

Great Guide Books

You can’t go wrong with a Rough Guide or Lonely Planet to tell you what is around you and the best things in the area to see and do.

Motorhoming – Finding Places to Stay

Most folks use an app like Park4Night, SearchForSites or CamperContact to find places to stay in their motorhome, but you can’t beat flicking through these books dreaming about where you’re going to visit on your next trip.

Maps

While we use our satnav for most of the navigation, you can’t beat a paper map for planning a trip and to keep tabs on where satnav is trying to send you (so you can avoid ‘satnav shortcuts’ on roads not really built for a motorhome).

Easy to Use Phrase Books

We try to learn at least a few words of the language of whichever country we’re in. Google translate is great when we are out and about, but when all else fails we turn to our trusty phrasebooks.

Financial Education

Regular readers of our blog will know about the journey we have been on to Financial Freedom. This involved some self education about finances, and we found these books to be not only useful but inspiring too. Also, don’t forget our free eBook about how we became financially free – Funding Freedom.
