Glamping with MaryJane: Glamour + Camping Description
From the Back Cover
A girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do.
Join the ranks of happy glampers—women who add glamour to camping while traipsing “outside” the norm. Whether you want to glam up a backyard retreat, porch, or rooftop; gussy up a vintage travel trailer (parked permanently in your back 40); or hit the road with your glampin’ girlfriends, MaryJane is THE guide for all things glamping. If you’re looking for specifics on how to shop for a trailer, fix one up, pitch a tent cabin, or rig up a heated outdoor bathtub, MaryJane, the pioneer of glamping, will get you there, one step at a time. What are you waiting for?!
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Few trailers, if any, are decked out with built-in bathrooms. After all, we’re not talking about tour buses or mobile mansions here. The compact cuties I love simply don’t have room for full-fledged facilities. Not to worry, though.
For the most part, the gypsy glamper will be within reach of a rest stop, gas station, or campground, should she hear the call. The proverbial “pit-stop” is generally a quick and painless affair. But, say you find yourself on a desolate stretch of road, or you land upon a loo that’s less than, shall we say, comfortable. Or maybe, you wake up in the middle of the night to a cold rain and you simply can’t muster the gumption to get out and trek to the nearest public restroom. In these instances, a wise wanderer will rest assured, knowing that she is prepared with her own private potty.

If you're tempted to judge this book by its cover ... let 'er rip!
Here, you have a smart, sassy Jane who's ready for the world. Sunhat? Check. Kerchief? Check. Attitude? Yes, ma'am - AND she's got boots to match. Behind her waits her faithful steed: a vintage camp trailer that's road-ready and decked out in style (note the cute curtains in the windows). The image is all about adventure with flair ... leather meets lace ... and good old fashioned get-up-and-go girl power.
What you see is what you get.
Within the pages of this tidy volume, there is a visual feast of classic femininity, but don't let the frill fool you. A peek under the petticoats, and you'll discover what this travelling Jane is made of. She's fearless, striking out on her own into the great blue yonder. She's practical, attending to every conceivable aspect of comfort and safety. She's not afraid to ask questions - she wants to do this thing right. And, best of all, Jane's geared up to guide even the most inexperienced camper into the gorgeous, gutsy realm of glamping.
A reviewer before me hit the nail on the head when she called Glamping "a toolkit of creative ideas." There are tips, tricks, and tactics in this toolkit for every woman who loves the idea of getting outdoors on her own.
You'll learn step-by-step how to shop smart for your own vintage trailer, gussy it up (from guts to glory), hitch it, and haul it to the horizon.
You'll laugh your patootie off learning about the finer points of trailer toiletry. Again, it's a topic every savvy traveler needs to tackle!
From the nuts and bolts of tire checks and oil changes to the taffeta touches of fishing-lure earrings and flavored marshmallows, Glamping's got it covered.
