"I enjoy your posts and recently decided to build my own gypsy wagon. I found an 20 foot car hauler on craigslist in stages of dismantling for only $200 dollars . I towed it home and began the process of figuring out my layout and materials. I only had weekends to build on it, and within the four months it took, I lost my dad to cancer and almost lost my husband to an aortic aneurysm. Jake encouraged me to continue making it happen and this last weekend I finally finished the project.

I found an antique French door with sidelights and cut the sidelights out to make another set of doors and had stained glass made for them for my entry doors. The rear entry is accessed off a hanging porch that folds up for travel. Directly inside is the restroom with a pocket door for privacy. The sink was made from an old enamelware bowl and the toilet is a bucket system.

Through the pocket door is an electric fireplace to the right with a closet built on top adjacent to a couch that has storage below and folds out into a full bed. Across from this is the kitchen. To save counter space, I placed an induction burner in the top drawer for cooking. Under the bed nook is a set of drawers at the face with a 40 gallon water tank behind, water pump, and water heater. Above the bed is a mini split unit for heating and cooling. In tribute to the original gypsy wagon, I built a nook surround and painted vines and flowers around it.

Thanks for the inspiration! I would love to make them for others if I found anyone interested!"
