Jerry Lewis stars as near-sighted chemistry teacher Julius Kelp in this comedy classic. In order to help him get close to his favourite student Stella Purdy (Stella Stevens) and to overcome the humiliation that's been heaped on him all his life, Julius invents a special formula intended to transform him from a shy, timid academic into a handsome casanova. The experiment works well, turning Julius into the incorrigible Buddy Love and giving him the courage to approach his beloved Stella, but it is a transformation which tends to wear off at the most unexpected moments....

Camperman can be distinguished from other homo sapiens as he is always in the company of a VW Campervan. This incredible vehicle has a transformative effect on any human lifeform as it fulfils many needs including, shelter from festival rains, perpetual tea-making capabilities, bedroom, changing room, support vehicle for sporting events, and when needs be, even ambulance. The most remarkable effect is that a campervan forces it's owners to relax, there is no hurrying anywhere, and there is no alternative but to slow down and take in the view. This book documents the rapid evolution of one human into such a camperman over an eighteen month period from the first indoctrination into the campervan cult from a family friend, the wonders of driving one for the first time, and the joys of finally having one to call their own, and all the adventures in between.
