Go Motorhoming Europe was first written by Chris Doree and Meli George in 2006 and was republished by Vicarious Books with amendments in 2008. Go Motorhoming Europe was rewritten and published in the autumn of 2011 and revised in December 2016. It was renamed Go Motorhoming and Campervanning ( ISBN 9781910664025 ) to reflect that the theory is the same whether you tour in an American RV or a VW campervan.
