Many moons ago, as my boy and I had been going to festivals together for almost 2 decades,  we decided to buy a little caravan to take with us on our adventures.

It was a much cheaper option than hiring a motorhome each time and much more comfy than a tent.

We scoured the internet — and the classified papers — and stumbled across a dated little caravan; nice and solid and well loved by her owners.

But, boy, was she ugly.

So we bought the ugly, dated little van and turned it into something lovely.

A proper little home from home to use while we were camping.

Et voila, Dolly 1 was born. Since then, our unit of two turned into a family of four and we decided we needed a little more room. So we sold our original van and bought a bigger version — Dolly 2.

After years of adventures, we sold Dolly 2 in 2019 and bought a third van; you guessed it! Dolly 3.

This collection of posts shows how we renovated all our vans — plus everything I’ve written that’s caravan related.
