In the beginning

I think I should probably start this story by saying that we jumped in head first (as usual) and bought a Rapido Confort, Fold-able Trailer caravan for £200, which is actually a bit of an investment even if it doesn't work out in the end. We were on ebay looking for Horse boxes (Hence the name of the project) when we came across the caravan, fell in love with it immediately, rang the owner about 50 times on our way to view it, got lost in various different taxis and paid in cash after a bit of a look at it. The owner's hopefully going to drop it off tomorrow.
On the way home we stopped off at Antwerp mansion, assuming that they'd let us have the caravan there, if not collaborate with us, but no such luck as apparantly it would affect their licensing agreement or something (even though they already had another caravan in he yard) and they said we'd be in competition with them which I really don't understand?!.... oh dear.

We're going to go and beg the Health and Safetly person at MMU tomorrow to see if we can have it in the courtyard behind our university building... Fingers crossed!



As you can see from the video, there is lots of scope to play with this caravan and lots of different ways we could use it. I can't wait to get started!
