This is the second of four parts of a log of a motorhome journey.



In 2003 we shipped our own motorcaravan to the USA, from the UK, and completed a six-month, 12,000 mile, coast-to-coast and return journey.



This book has its origins in a CD. This was composed as an ongoing record of that six-month trip. This was done, not only for pleasure, but as a guide for others contemplating such a journey in their own UK motorcaravan. The title comes from the remark Americans made about our Hymer B548, German-built, motorhome.



It was started at the considerable preparation stage and then followed the daily travel log. There was a post-mortem on lessons learnt, the whole being a comprehensive guide. It is hoped that the nigh on 200 purchasers of the CD have found it useful and entertaining.



It had been a dream to see the log, particularly the photographs, in book form but this was prohibitively expensive. But then along came a piece of on-line software - Blurb Booksmart - which enabled the creation of a one-off book, in full colour, at an affordable price.
