Home on the Road: The Motor Home in America Tapa blanda - 2001

Reseñas en medios

An engaging history of America's enduring fascination with RVs, from early custom-built 'house cars' to the Merry Pranksters' Day-Glo bus to the Winnebago (The New Yorker)

Home on the Road is ultimately a social history that allows us to see beyond the kitsch commonly associated with the mobile home, uncovering the inventiveness and creativity that helped people realize their nomadic impulses. (Architecture)

America's love affair with the open road and its refusals to do without the comforts of home have produced some amazing vehicles. . . . [Roger B. White] recounts the evolution of these mobile dwellings and explains their allure as an irresistible 'combination of wanderlust and family togetherness.' The author takes a pop culture approach, including the psychedelic buses of the 60s like Ken Kesey's poetically named Furthur and Wavy Gravy's Road Hog. . . . Even in a no passing zone, this is no passing fancy. (New York Times)
