I know this is alittle old but love the idea.  Im saving up right now to fund building mine.  I'm making mine alot bigger to travel around with to faires.  I'm also going to try to hide most of the modern features into the design of the wagon.

Keno... this really IS an old topic, but still one very close to my own heart!  There is a couple who have built at least two of these, with some very modern, yet completely hidden, conveniences that absolutely make the concept of the modern Gypsy vardo pop-up completely feasible!  On the first page of this topic there is this link to their pages, and the journey through the building process is laid out almost step-by-step in photos!  It's truly inspiring! 


Modified to add:

Oh, yes... I particularly love the link to Rachel's 2nd vardo!  Partly because of the innovations of the gas lift arms for the top, but mostly for the decor, I believe, since that is very much my own "style"...  lol

Well I guess I should apologize for not following thru sooner on the Gypsy Wagon pictures that I promised over a year ago(page 2 of this thread).  I just got around taking the pictures today.  I will download them sometime today and try to get them uploaded.  Please bear with me.

Well finally as promised I have the photos ready for view.........

Ahhhh  how is it done.   I see no  attachment link that brings up anything to attach photos. 

below here it says attachments but when I click on it, it just blinks at me and does nothing

I believe you have to post the pictures to an outside site (like Shutterfly or Photobucket) and then inset the links to that URL in your forum post.

Yes... it's exactly as Gauwyn said.  They first have to go onto another website, and then they can be linked here.  You have to use a web address as the link.  I have discovered how to link photos from facebook, even...  :D

I suppose that photobucket is easier if you use it alot. I found it quite cumbersome.


This the Gypsy Wagon that I spoke of a loooooonnng  time ago.  As I stated earlier in this thread it is expensive and it is unlikely that he will come down on it.  But it is unique and if someone had the skills to re-do it,  it would be fantastic.

  Blakduke-If you want the photo to show here instead of the link:
  In PB below the picture, you can copy the IMG file and copy it here.
  The photo will appear on preview, so that you know you did it correctly.   I agree-PB is cumbersome.
   You have to save your pictures there, then copy the script over here to show a pic 'real time'.   That's how I have my profile pic.

Oh, how sad that it's wheels have been removed, and it is being used to store old junk.  :(  Some sanding, some paint and some axle grease and it would be ready for the road again!
