His own conversion on the caravan he's dragging out via weekly episodes i'm sure looks great when standing still but with the structural rigidity of these things I can't help but think that with the whole side cut out, at the time he tries to tow it out on the open road its going to flop about and flex something chronic.
But hey its TV so it'll be the best thing in the world
You can see quite a bit of steel bracing up over the ceiling and on the other side of the 'van. That thing is going to weight at least double what it used to.But hey its TV so it'll be the best thing in the world

It is a static van as far as I know and won't be towed on the open road(ten feet wide). Mind, am sure it might well flex whilst being loaded/unloaded onto a low-loader. But hey its TV so it'll be the best thing in the world
Can't beat this for a shed with a view.

How cold does it get in Barcelona in the winter? As that bed might be a bit chilly when they need to pull it in to sleep on, being outside the building. I know it's not exposed but enclosed but I doubt it if it's in a heated enclosure.
I noticed a small electric radiator in a cupboard....mat777 said:
Mmmm, I would love a proper 20s showmans living van for the vintage rally season!
There's always a load at Dorset Steam Fair every year that are usually beautifully restored:
Nifty idea with the pivoting units in that caravan though
Love those showmen vans. Will be interesting to see how much the renovation comes to.There's always a load at Dorset Steam Fair every year that are usually beautifully restored:

The swing-out kitchen certainly puts paid to my earlier criticism of the drop down wall restricting room layout!
ETA: Ar! So there is to be swing-out walls as well.

He couldn't have been less complimentary about that showman caravan. It did display a distinct lack of design flair.
Dreadful wasn't it! The only redeeming feature being 'the lovely floorboards' and, north of twenty big-ones to boot! Not to mention the five thousand purchase price. Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
