Each had a home on wheels - be it an old converted school bus, a massive RV cruiser, or elegant house car.

These celebrity motorhomes are only the frosting on the cake in Douglas Keister's entertaining and informative new book "Mobile Mansions".

From the eclectic to the exquisite, the luxurious to the rare, Keister's "Mobile Mansions" showcases the history and diversity of some of the most historic and lovingly restored RVs on the road today.

Keister documents an amazing range of vehicles, including small camp cars from the 1920s, house cars from the 1930s, campers from the 1950s and finally modern-day motorhomes that first emerged in the 1960s. "Mobile Mansions" details this fascinating chapter of America's history with lively text, luscious full-color photographs, rare vintage photographs and offers a concise history of the recreational vehicle.
