    Best DIY video for a vardo. Most do not take into consideration the need for light weight materials--they are trying to build a house instead of a moving vehicle. You realize that it needs to be light to be mobile. Kudos!

( Confession: my favorite shot os that of your dear little grandson enjoying the special activity children have treasured through the ages! 💕) ( And then there was the extra bonus of the John Deere still so close to the heart of this former Illinois farm girl! 😋)

    Ridiculous really coz i know I'd never be able to afford to buy my own camper and i truly believe in some cases the diys are stronger and sturdier than the factory ones.😊

    It is a lesson from you that old age is not meaningless one. Those who are habituated to work hard can build such a beautiful wagon.
    You grand child is so enthusiastic that muddy filed is not a big issue for him.
    I like seeing it that your little grand child also use gamboot to walk in mud.
    But it is not common in India. Here specifically village peoples walk in mud with bare foot even in rainy season.

      Thank you for your kind words. I have never been to Russia. That would be a great place to have this little Gypsy Wagon

    Nicely done!!
    I have found that using a long sliver of wood or plywood instead of a string, gives a much more uniform arch. Also i would of probably ran the roof plywood perpendicular so that the joints fell in the middle of the roof rafters, so that it could be sealed better.
