This wagon is about as simple as it gets yet is obviously relatively modern judging by the running gear and the electrical tower in the background. A classic three stone hearth lies is the focus of the children’s attention.

An old but true sentiment…
I just found this guy on Tumblr and hope to see more great updates from him in the near future. Maybe we’ll caravan together somewhere down the road.
From his blog:
“Cappy’s Caravan will have 120 and 12v power like a traditional RV with a hybrid RV distribution Panel. Because I Plan on taking this off-grid I will also be Equipping it with a large battery storage with multiple deep cycle batteries serried together. Ideally CC will have 400 watts solar to help charge the batteries off grid.”
Classis Dutch door, curved roof, ledge style wagon. I hope it works out well for him.
Sounds like he had a real deadline and I sympathize with his lack of indoor workshop. He started in an apartment. Have a look at his Tumblr Blog here.
