What is a "Vardo"? 
​If you’ve never heard of a vardo before, you’re in for a treat!  A vardo – also known as a wagon, living wagon, van, or caravan – is simply a traditional horse-drawn wagon used by British Romani folks. The "American Vardo" takes the idea of the traditional Vardo ad uses lighter, abundantly available building materials, and building methods.

The "Test" Weekend trip to South Carolina! (Oct 8-9, 2022)
On our "test run" we travelled from Fayetteville, NC to preach in Georgetown, SC. At first we had a full size bed, but sometimes we felt like we were going to roll out of the bed and there was just no room for anything else!  Sleeping 4 in a 5 x 8' trailer, 40 sq ft, is "cozy!"
