Description

When impulsive Sussex carpenter Adam Collier-Woods discovered old double-deckers were cheap, he bought one to convert into a camper for surfing holidays, unaware of the series of adventures he would set in motion. 

With his daughter Devon and his dog Salbo, he makes life up as he goes along, playing life by ear with a disregard for convention and a flair for style. Any number of obstacles threaten his progress, including deafness and the other symptoms of Ménière’s Disease, but he perseveres, and the holiday homes he’s created have featured in print and TV media internationally. 

This entertaining biography relates a decade of off-grid builds, from a boat to a Big Green Bus, a van and a pile of shipping containers. Read it to find the answer to Adam’s frequent, optimistic question, ‘What could possibly go wrong?’

As seen on TV. Foreword by George Clarke.
