At 16 my dream to build a Gypsy Caravan became a reality as I began construction. I incorporated the sloping walls of the Reading Wagon with the Ledge Wagon style and then went with the finishing touches of the more natural feeling Shepherds Hut. Height vs width and the resulting look was an important factor. At it's highest point, the caravan is 7'6" and the bed across the back is set at a height on the sloping walls to give just over 6' in length. A kind neighbour donated the trailer, another gave me the recycled insulation and aside from the plywood and some of the 2x4's, most of the other material was left over from other building projects or from the re-store. My mom built the coloured lead windows and door, showed me how to use the power tools and worked through the construction with me.
