Debra Murphy’s Campervan Capers & A Special Giveaway

At Struans, we love nothing more than seeing our leisure customers turn their road trip dreams into reality. That’s why we were absolutely delighted when longtime customer and author Debra Murphy recently popped by our dealership - accompanied by her trusty four-legged co-pilot, Florence - to share some top tips and tell us all about her brilliant book, Campervan Capers!

Debra’s book is an honest, hilarious, and heartwarming diary of her personal journey into the world of campervan ownership, from the very first spark of an idea to exploring stunning destinations in her beloved van, Evie.

A Special Connection with Struans

We are especially proud that Struans gets a starring role in Debra’s story! In Campervan Capers, Debra writes warmly about her experience purchasing Evie through us and talks about our team. To this day, Debra continues to rely on Struans Leisure Perth for Evie’s ongoing maintenance and servicing - keeping her safe, smooth and ready for the next big adventure.

Knowing firsthand how much joy van life brings, we’ve secured 10 copies of Campervan Capers to hand out to our leisure and rental customers so more people can get inspired by Debra!

 

What to Expect in Campervan Capers?

Written with real warmth and wit, Campervan Capers reads just like a personal diary. It’s packed with practical advice for anyone considering taking the leap into leisure vehicle ownership.

Inside, Debra covers:

  • How she weighed her options and found the right van for her lifestyle.
  • Practical "wish I’d known that earlier" hints for hitching up, pitching, and packing smart.
  • The lighthearted, relatable reality of things that can go wrong—and how to handle them calmly.
  • Personal recommendations, scenic spots, and the uplifting feeling of freedom that only life on four wheels can offer.

Whether you’re an experienced motorhome enthusiast or dreaming of your very first weekend getaway, Debra's relatable anecdotes will have you nodding along and smiling from ear to ear.
