eeeeee...I want one too! They're so cute. They look like little Hobbit-houses on wheels.

At one time I thought they might be fun for SCA camping but, technically, the really great decorate ones were post-period.

Yeah...it would look much better painted more brightly with much more detail.

It appears the covering is actually a large winter pool cover which is perfect!

Hehe, cool! Now all it needs is a bath/shower, internet, TV, bed, bbq, and yer all set!

Oh, and I got a spam from this site: http://www.gaelicthemes.net/

Maybe it can help with your sewing et,al.

When I was looking for an image to use for BP&G's wagon, I stumbled upon those caravans. Very cool, indeed, but too, too small for what I needed, and too ordinary looking, all roundish and such. The construction looks pretty easy, specially if you've done any sort of frame work.

Hmmm. If I only had a million dollars......

Erm...make one. Do.

Eeee!! So cute! Is it wrong that I want one to live in?

you are not alone...

I actually contemplated building one last year from plans found online. I started looking at tiny houses (http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/home.htm) and that led me to the Vardo. There is something about living in a small space that makes me feel good.

More recently renniemom and I have been thinking about a teardrop trailer after seeing a recent show on the travel channel.

The Gypsies used to camp about an hour north of here on the banks of the river every summer. A lot of their caravans looked like that, but, as you said a lot more colorful, and always strewn with colorful clothes drying in the sun.

They don't come any more. There's a housing development there and city ordinances prohibit camping.

That is really CLEVER! I've been wanting to get a camper for Scarborough, but this is actually quite a whimsical and very reasonably-priced alternative. Plus, I get to build and decorate it MY way (much more prettily than olive drab - yuck!).

Thanks so much for posting this - I'd never have come across this myself...

That is a neat damn trailer! And yes, I too would have to make a lot more colorful and add jingly bells to it. Ok, fine, I am odd, but bells make everything better...hehehehe
