// About

Squob, our new favourite website, looking at mobile architecture 'beyond the white box', Things Magazine.Squob is a web magazine for RVers who don’t like RVs.
Because let’s face it, most recreational vehicles are style-free zones: nasty little travel trailers with plastic wood furniture, or giant ‘snowbird’ barges with cheesy graphics plastered down the side.

Fortunately, there are people out there who appreciate both RVing and fine design. People for whom the phrase ‘Class A’ suggests a Hunter S. Thompson novel, rather than a motorhome built on a truck chassis and over 21 feet long.

We’re worldwide.

Squob articles are featured on auto sites such as Jalopnik and Autoblog. We’ve also been namechecked by longtime web icons TechCrunch and Gizmodo. And we’re in mainstream RV print publications such as RV Life too. So you’re in good company!

Who runs Squob?
Squob is owned by Chris Hunter, an Englishman living in New Zealand. Chris also founded the custom motorcycle site Bike EXIF, and is the author of the acclaimed book Vantastic, the definitive guide to New Zealand caravan culture.

PS: What does ‘Squob’ mean?
It doesn’t mean anything. It just sounds the same as ‘squab’, which is a fledgling pigeon about four weeks old or a cushion for a chair, which you sit on in your RV. But really, it’s just a short five-letter word—and in the world of domain names, those are harder to come by than a 1937 Pierce Arrow Travelodge trailer.
