The outside of it is super cute - I LIVE there roof trim, the shutters, and the entry way. I love hope you’ve used so much repurposed material in the inside plus flea market fins. Well done!
It's mind-boggling how incredibly well done and creative this is. I think your only problem is that you need to make as many of these as you have children. Because this is definitely in the category of a family heirloom, as another commenter said. Really well done.
Absolutely amazing! Extremely well thought out. LOVE all the recycled materials, especially the wood stove door. 😁 Ingenious! Wishing you and your family many, many safe and happy travels. 🙂
Just wonderful! The table legs as shelf brackets is my favorite part! I have used and re-used almost everything I can find when building my campers but that is the first time I've seen that. Please be advised I am totally gonna do that (but will give you credit!). My next one is going on a single axle trailer (5x8) so I have to be careful about weight. What does the living compartment weigh (meaning the part you built minus the metal frame/tires part)?
Hi! Great idea! Who of us does not want to enjoy a long and happy life? Just think how wonderful it would be if we could live forever in health and happiness. We could spend more time with loved ones, travel the world, develop new skills, grow in wisdom, and learn thoroughly about whatever interests us, to our heart’s content. Is such a desire unnatural ? Is that desire impossible to realize? What do you think about it
I really like how you have optimized space for storage and the interior appearance is very attractive. I like the enclosed camper toilet. Having a space for an enclosed small round camper tub would be a good idea, also. I think the japanese have a method for reheating water, and they also make covers for their 'spa' tubs, but such things would be great for any sort of off grid build, I think. I've also found one can buy small round bathing tubs. I'm moving soon, looking at angles. Thanks for letting me watch.
Beautiful job, but you have got learn about audio, microphones, wind screen ( a sock helps), outside noises( traffic , kids, dogs,etc.) Great job on the wagon.
Awesome build. I guess this is a dumb question but I have been trying to find an answer everywhere and I guess I have just been looking in the wrong places......what was the original purpose for slanting the walls on these gypsy style structures. I really like the look but have no idea why they were slanted. Maybe for weather or for space.......I can't find an answer. Thanks....great video.
I wondered the same thing. Came to the conclusion that wagon wheel tracks or axle width were sort of standard because of road and bridge width. So with angled or slanted sides you have more shoulder room and a longer bed. Just more usable space and if you say it in a very matter of fact way.... well yep, that's it.
More room above the knees for living, as well as keeping the rain/dew/mist from running down the wagon sides as it runs off the roof. Back then they didn't have the water sealants and wood protectors we have today so rot was a big issue. Also keep in mind there were no roads most places so your wagon wheels had to fit in the ruts that were already established or you risked broken axles. Also if you took a ferry across a river many of them were also not much wider than a wagon.
