Ulrich Dolde "Motorhomes themselves remove and optimize" Book

In Wohnmobile selbst ausbauen und optimieren Ulrich Dolde describes on 600 pages his dream of a self-built motorhome and its realization. The development is described in chronological order and is illustrated in detail with more than 1,400 photos. He describes not only his installations and working methods, but also lets his readers participate in why he solved things in such a way and not differently. In this way, the reader can make different decisions if he or she feels that this makes sense

In addition, he also explains the many optimizations that he has made to his motorhome in recent years and the reasons for them. Be it wrong decisions in the selection of components or be it changed requirements for the vehicle
In this way, he wants to address not only self-builders of expedition motorhomes, but also builders of campervans, panel vans and all motorhome owners who want to work on their vehicle themselves or just gain a better understanding of the interaction of the components.
