A vardo (also wag(g)on, living wagon, van, and caravan) is a traditional horse-drawn wagon used by british romani people as their home. possessing a chimney, it is commonly thought of as being highly decorated, intricately carved, brightly painted, and even gilded.. Cupboard and storage space was designed in every conceivable location, some wagons even having a hidden safe hole. the usual day's travel was about 15 miles. normally, a single horse of about 14 hands pulls the vardo, with a second horse being added for hills. after travelling the roads for about 10 years, gypsy vans were returned to. Vardos can be grouped into different styles including the brush wagon, reading, ledge, bow top, open lot and burton wagon. i think i like the reading and ledge style the best. perhaps i could combine the two styles and use a recycled two wheeled utility trailer as the vardo base frame..
