2007 CamperStop Europe


The long awaited 2007 CamperStop is in production CamperStop Europe, Pre-order Now www.vicariousbooks.co.uk

The new edition is greatly improved, it has 800 more stopovers, now over 7000 are listed. The full colour, clearer layout is much easyer to use and the directions are supported by satnav, making every stopover easy to find. A small section for UK has been included, and this remains the best aires guide for English speakers. This guide is multilingual including English. Camper-stops are places exclusively for motorhomes encouraging stopping overnight, often for free. They are in Idyllic locations, nestled in quaint hamlets and in the suburbs of capital cities. Most have water, many have toilet dumps and some even have free electric. The icing on the cake is the GPS support, you will be able to download specific countries and upload them onto your satnav system. We were given a Garmin nuvi 350 loaded with the French aires and Dutch camper stops to trial and have found it to be excellent so far, it even has bus and truck modes so hopefully wont lead you up the garden path in your large motohome.

Probably the most useful feature is being able to zoom in to street level before you set off, making it much easier to decide if the camper stop looks like somewhere you want to stopover. This feature will also help owners of very large motorhomes and RV's as you will be able to decide if there are suitable roads to and from the camper-stop. We have met many users of the old CamperStop at the shows some swear by it others complain that the directions are inadequate. Interestingly I have looked at the Dutch only version of CamperStop 'Camper Guids' and the directions are the same, only in Dutch. We believe the new 2007 edition of CamperStop will continue to be the best available stopovers guide available to English only readers and the GPS support negates the worry of not finding your chosen stopover. We will be able to supply fully loaded Garmin nuvi 350's in a few weeks once all the camper-stops are charted. We also have a competitive price so that makes thing easy. We will keep you posted as things develop, I spoke with the author and publisher yesterday and she assured me it would be available in December.
