Romani culture is slowly disappearing, but the UK Vardo Project is dedicated to preserving the few remaining Romani wagons or vardos.
A modern RV, like a house, is a structure enclosing a lot of empty space. This is why a large house costs (the builder) substantially less per square foot. It costs virtually nothing to build mor…

When summer comes, Americans itch to hit the open road and, if a recent jump in recreational vehicle sales is any indicator, they plan to do so in style this year.

From my collection of Harry Green's photographs. I have no idea where or when this picture of a gypsy "Reading Wagon" was taken. Probably 1970's, but that is just a guess. It doesn't look like a van that's in regular use and the chap in the forground looks more like he has been doing the lovely paint job. Could this be a van under restoration? Someone must recognise the chap in the foreground? (Yorkie Greenwood, Lol Thompson ???????)
Recently I've been watching Peaky Blinders, it has rekindled my love for little traveling houses. As a child I remember falling hard for Mr.Toad's little yellow gypsy caravan. At one point I vaguely remember owning a toy Sylvanian Families gypsy wagon, or I may of looked at the image in the catalog so often that I imagined I owned it. It also could of been a Fabuland caravan. These guys were the cutest! As I got older my idea of a Caravan faded from the minimal decor of a Lego interior to the intricate patterns bright colors and textures of the gypsy wagons depicted in Carnivale. I often imagine my caravan could double as a painting studio or maybe a traveling art gallery. Below is the lovely art caravan by Marie Meier. http://duodesordre.tumblr.com/ Someday I could imagine having a home with one of these lovely painted wagons in the back yard. Circa 1902 Hearst Family Estate Gypsy Wagon There are a few movies I watched in hopes of getting some good caravan imagery. I remember carnival having some great caravans, but most of the scenes were very dimly lit. Carnivale has this great mystical, Twin Peaks feel to it. The characters are all awesome and the imagery is beautifully rich and grungy. They travel in wonderfully restored caravans. If you search you tube you can find a video of one of the un-restored German caravans that they bought for the show. For more beautiful wagons check out http://gypsywaggons.co.uk . This show also sparked my interest in Tarot cards.
