Reviews
An interesting and informative read that covers a very wide catalog of personal experiences from which every RVer can find parallels to his own travels., A cultural history of the motor home/RV in the U.S, this book draws on the author's own experiences as well as historical and sociological sources in order to explain the tremendous appeal of the RV for its aficionados, the disdain many Americans feel toward it, and the paradoxical qualities of a population of motorized nomads who seem to seek both individualistic escape and communitarian society. The author locates his interpretation of these questions in the enduring mythos of the road and the frontier; in a lingering Puritanism that demands accountability along with freedom; and in the RV's ability to reconcile autonomy and belonging, wilderness and domesticity., This work will make even the most skeptical reader appreciate the importance of the RV in American history -- no mean feat., Twitchell has unpacked a complex and often misunderstood culture, looking at it in a way that recognizes that it is about so much more than a means of transport. Winnebago Nation is an evocative and factual, well-written and well-illustrated exploration of RV culture in the United States. Any reader will want to take to the open road after putting the book down., This engagingly written book looks deeply into the American character, concluding that for a nation of folks who came from elsewhere and have never stopped moving, the recreation vehicle is the artifact that best explains the American character. A mighty good read., Twitchell brings his knowledge of history and literature to bear on the American love affair with the RV, in all it incarnations. RVing in America looks to be a never-ending story, and Twitchell tells it well. An amusing, entertaining, and informative read., Winnebago Nation draws on James B. Twitchell's own experiences as well as historical and sociological sources to explain the tremendous appeal of the RV for its aficionados, the disdain many Americans feel toward it, and the paradoxical qualities of a population of motorized nomads who seem to seek both individualistic escape and communitarian society. Twitchell locates his interpretation of these questions in the enduring mythos of the road and the frontier; in a lingering Puritanism that demands accountability along with freedom; and in the RV's ability to reconcile autonomy and belonging, wilderness and domesticity., In Winnebago Nation , James Twitchell brings his knowledge of history and literature to bear on the American love affair with the RV, in all it incarnations. He leads us from the early automobile as camping car to million-dollar, luxury motor home of today, while recounting his own travels in his Winnebago. RVing in America looks to be a never-ending story and Twichell tells it well. An amusing, entertaining and informative read., Even a seasoned full-time RVer like me had a lot to learn from this Professor of RVing. With a winning combination of Bill Bryson's dry wit and Mary Roach's eye for the absurd, Winnebago Nation is a historical, psychological and cultural romp through the quirky landscape of RVing in America. Through it all, James B. Twitchell never loses an educator's fascination with his subject, while maintaining his RV enthusiast's sense of adventure as he explores this uniquely American lifestyle., This engagingly written book looks deeply into the American character, concluding that for a nation of folks who came from elsewhere, and have never stopped moving, the recreation vehicle is the artifact that best explains the American character.
