Caravans are for Pikeeees




So I have had this Camper Trailer for maybe 6 years and it has been slowly losing it's charm. It has been the home for many of my deckhands over the past few years and they have all left it in a little worse condition. The last tenant injured himself while breaking a window trying to get in, then later his dog was injured trying to burrow out of the floor. After paying for storage for this crapper winter after winter I thought I would just bring it home.


Amy was a little shocked to see me in full gypsy form driving the camper around behind the truck, but I promised her it would be transformed in no time.


So with the saw I cut many of the key supports then used a chain and the truck to dismantle the house from the frame. Sorry forgot to take a picture of this wreckage.

A giant fire burned most of the wood off the thing, then I fashioned a brand new flatbed trailer out of the chassis that remained. It was cool to use the new trailer to haul all the scraps to the dump. The fellas at the dump came at me with a bunch of sympathy thinking that I had lost my trailer/home in a fire, they couldn't understand that I did it on purpose..
