Steven Wigglesworth has utilised his largely self-taught mechanical and engineering skills to create motor vehicles capable of facilitating self-contained overland travel and has modified a couple of mainstream motorcaravans and built a van based overland camper. He is passionate about truck based overlanding vehicles in particular and as a result of countless hours of research plus empirical knowledge gained by years of hands-on work and spending time travelling in his own creations, he has the ability to write with authority on the subject.
