RV ROAD BOOKS
My Van, My Castle
Jackie Norman
RRP $34.99
New Holland
Jackie Norman met her soul mate and sold her suburban home, swapping it for a life travelling around New Zealand in a campervan. Her aim was to exchange a stressful life servicing a crippling mortgage, with a more carefree lifestyle stripped back to the essentials, and living in the moment. With no schedule and no real goals, and after nearly two years on the road, she writes with humour and insight on the highs and lows of nomadic life and the lessons learnt along the way, with anecdotes, tips, suggestions and favourite spots seen from the tip of the North Island to Bluff in the South. On this hilarious journey with Jackie and her husband we learn about the day-to-day reality and challenges of life on the road, top campsites, special spots, how to cope with mozzies and condensation, and what the traveller community is really like.
