About the Item

Now I know we all wish to have that barn find, but this truly is a great barn find!!! 45 years it has been dry stored, and you can see from the condition that this original Gypsy Caravan has been well loved. Originally built by Watts of Bridgewater, the previous owner purchased this many years ago and kept receipts to document this, which we now have! Caravan comes with all the original features such as wood burning stove etc. Now with how popular shepherds huts have been for glamping holidays, wouldn’t you prefer something as original as this? Truly a piece of art as well as a functional caravan.
