I prefer gypsy wagons to tiny homes because they do not have a loft (when I am old, a loft could be dangerous), and the rounded roof helps to circulate the air for better energy efficiency. I hope to have my own little gypsy wagon someday, but until then, thank you for sharing this.

This 2 wheeled trailer could not possibly be pulled by horses. Chances are that it would burn down if it was ever used because the stove is right next to the bed covers. Strickly for show.

Hi Rae - yes - the van IS insulated - 22mm foam in between the exterior and interior fibreglass layers. When the stove is on it gets warm quickly (sometimes too warm!) and stays warm for ages.

@mysticmeadowshomestead6209 Жыл бұрын
The awning is cute but a porch would be more functional. A bench with hooks on one side to provide a place to take off your muddy boots and hang up raincoats and hats. And put your composting toilet on the other side to keep the smell out of the living space. Then you won't need that cheap plastic stick up air freshner by the head of your bed.

I did not construct this caravan, it was manufactured for me in a fibreglassing factory. There are websites with information on building your own gypsy van using timber corrug. iron etc. Try them for hints and advice.

Just lovely, but I'm trying to figure out your water system, shower thingie there. How does that work? Is the outside tank a heater or just a cistern?
@chriswilson1350
@chriswilson1350 9 жыл бұрын
I collect rainwater from the roof and gutter it in to a small holding tank on the ledge at the tailgate end. Another similar tank is planned on other side, tap at base of tank. Otherwise you fill containers from an alternate source. Shower works with a 12V pump - you need to heat your water up first on the woodstove (installed since video)

We utilize river water in our shantyboat for cleaning and bathing in a similar fashion. (pix at floatingempire.blogspot.com if you're interested). Are you finding that you've adapted to the space more rapidly than anticipated (this has been our experience)?

Yes it's not ideal, but i take every precaution to avoid risks and I have a fire blanket on hand, The cooker runs on meths and I run it usually on three quarter heat so the flame isn't large, Their were limited options for where it could fit in .

Hellyer Gorge is in the Australian island state of Tasmania To take a shower now i have installed a mini wood burning stove, heat the water up and using a small 12 V pump driven camp shower, sit or stand in the 'wet' corner. The stove now sits where the porta loo was and the loo now rolls in and out of the 'under bed' storage space. I have also now put fabric and huon pine strips on the ceiling. Looking good. The magic Gypsy Caravan will feature at the 2014 Sheffield Steamfest weekend (Tas - Mar 8 - 10th)

Being made of insulated fibreglass and Huon Pine - it can withstand wet weather. I plan to live in it in a very wet climate, so it had to be weather resistant. Tasmania's West Coast has a cool temperate climate - but high rainfall. How much it would cost in USA to build I cannot say. Find a company who specialises in fibreglass constructions and run it past them. The dimensions are 2.1 m at it's widest and length (minus the back deck/tailgate is 3.6m. The floor is treated marine ply.
