Gypsy Caravans

 Gypsygy400-43 caravans have been in existence since around the 1850s and the most advanced forms evolved in the British Isles.

The Gypsy wagons share a number of characteristics,.  The caravan was specifically designed for comfortable nomadic living.  A typical caravan was a four wheeled vehicle that was pulled by a single horse. It tended to have a standard floor plan with a set of drawers to the left and a small stove and mirror to the right, along with a seat and a chest of drawers.  Beyond this was a bed, which was sometimes partitioned from the rest of the caravan.

It had an internal stove that was primarily used for heating, and had movable steps for  entry.
