I had that dream few years ago about building my retro caravan. I decided to realise it, I then started by purchasing an old caravan that needed to be rebuilt. What an amazing experience I went through, I was able to learn new skills and technique with different material, I love woodwork so it was perfect for me. just by adapting myself to this project. I really wanted to keep the original shape and style but I added a touch of modernity. We can see all the different step I went trough on the pictures below. I have accomplish all the work by myself, all the chassis as been recoated, new electrical, water evacuation. removable solar panel with batterie that will keep the fridge running for 3 days without sun. All the minimum needed for a perfect camping.
