My Cool Campervancelebrates anew wave of interest in modern-retro campervans.
Join Jane Field-Lewis and Chris Haddon as they set off on a 3500-mile trip to locate campervans and proud owners,sharing their memories of family holidays under candy-striped pop-top roofs and of sunny days and simple pleasures. Delve into a world of road-tripping as Jane and Chris introduce us to a succession of distinctive campervans,memorable locations and classic models,at times beautifully restored,and at others well-loved and well-used.
My Cool Campervan reveals a world beyond the stereotype,of vintage vans from another era,forgotten rarities and beautifully restored mass-produced models.

The VW T2 campervan is,without doubt,the front runner.New Retro: Reflecting owners'unique styles and interest,the vehicles here function as an artist's workroom or as a photographer's studio; these are not only places to camp out or chill out,they are happy extensions of creative lives.
