Spud the Pop Top Caravan

It was an instant decision, we brought a 1970s pop top caravan or tent trailer to some of you. We love the idea of a Tiny House but we wanted to create something straight away, so we brought Spud.

The photos shows the development of Spud for 2 months before we camped in it 2 weeks solid over the summer break.

Before Photos.. Spud was musty, dull, and leaky but had awesome potential.

Started with a clean slate and demolished every internal item.

 First step was painting over the vomit coloured roof. 

The grand plan...

 The cat decided curtains were a nice place to chill.

Photo shoot!

The Noah: An Unexpected Journey

1. Noah Baggins (Toyota Townace) lives a simple life with his fellow vans in the Masterton shire, until the wizardess Dee (@1kiwidee) arrives and convinces him to join a couple of geeks on a quest to travel the kingdom of Middle-Earth. The journey takes Noah on a path through treacherous lands swarming with orcs, goblins and other dangers, not the least of which is an encounter with Gollum (Anonymous) and a simple gold steering wheel-ring that is tied to the fate of Middle Earth in ways Noah cannot even fathom.
