Product Description

Dreams on Wheels: Modern Do-it-Yourself Gypsies by Ben Rosander is 101 Pages and includes well over 200 black and white photos, drawings and several floor plans.

The twenty buses featured in this book were home-converted by individual owners. Each owner was invited to share his photos and what ever information he desired. Some wrote lengthy, often funny accounts of their experience, while others chose to let the photos speak for themselves and all I did was add a few captions.

All in all, this book provides plenty of information and "eye candy" to help you generate conversion ideas and prepare you to follow your dream.

About the Author
Ben Rosander first became interested in bus conversions about 1967 when his soon-to-be father-in-law converted an old school bus to move his family to Arkansas. In 1972, Ben found a classified ad in Popular Science Magazine offering a conversion booklet. He bought the book and with his wife, Robin, converted his first bus-a 1962 GMC sKOOLie.

New to the conversion process, Ben blindly followed the advice given, trusting on the expertise of others which, he says, turned out to be a big mistake. Over the years, he reflected on his experience with the notion that he could write a better book. In 2002 Ben completed the 100-page "Select and Convert Your Bus into a Motorhome on a Shoestring", followed by "Dreams on Wheels: Modern Do-it-Yourself Gypsies" and "Bus Conversion Floor Plans". His writings have appeared in Bus Conversions Magazine and he is a frequent contributor to numerous bus conversion bulletin boards.

Ben and Robin Rosander reside in Washington State and are the parents of six children.
