Inspiring Individuality
Design Options
Shape:
Traditionally, gypsy wagons were either Ledge wagons or Reading, the sloped sided ones. Both have their advantages and individuality. We've also built a couple with straight sides.
Axles:
This is a really important consideration! If you plan to tow your caravan around like a camper, it has to have only one axle. However, once you park a single axle caravan, you need to support the corners for stability, and it's a little harder to move around by hand.
The two axle caravan is perfect when you plan to keep it in one location. It's very stable, and it's quite easy to move around on your property. Surprisingly, on flat ground one person can usually push or pull it.
Windows, Doors:
As much as possible, we
find old wood-framed windows with multiple panes - they are so
much more in keeping with the look of a caravan.
We also find old, solid wood panel doors that can be cut horizontally to make Dutch doors. Our sources have been flea markets, antique stores, and auctions.
and of course, Colour!
There's no end to the decorative detail you can add once you get your caravan.
