Subject:      Build your own camper book from Eurocampers
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252"

I ordered the German language book, Jetzt helfe ich mir selbst, or
Camping-Bus Selbstgebaut, from Steve Lashley.

My German is pretty rudimentary, but there's some interesting stuff in here
just looking at the pics.  Most interesting so far have been pictures of a
camper built on a Doublecab, and 3 or 4 pages of "offroad" mods to protect
engine, suspension, and spare tire.  There's a chapter on insulation that I
haven't waded through yet, but I can see plenty of pics of a guy spraying
foam in every available (van) orifice.

The book is 250 pages with pics on every page.  I think this cost me about
$25.00.  Seems like a good value if you're borderline obsessive (obsessive,
me?).

I'm sensitive to copyright.  Please don't send me mail asking for Xerox or
scanned content.  That said, I might see if I can run this through some OCR
SW and then through Babelfish for my personal use.  Anyone ever taken on a
large scale translation task like this?

Call Steve, http://www.eurocampers.com  if you want to pick this up.
