Lovelane Caravans - Our Classic Caravans

At Love Lane, we have a unique collection of vintage vehicles and caravans. We lovingly restore them whilst keeping each as original as possible. Each has its own character and has have been decorated and fitted out in such a way as to accentuate its own individual charm. The caravans were designed to stop where fancy took them, and are comfortable and functional without the need for electric. http://www.lovelanecaravans.com/lovelane-caravans.htm
A “3V” geodesic or polyhedral dome is made of hexagons and pentagons, which means you will need 2 basic triangle shapes, called BAA and BCC. Start your project with a visit to desertdomes.com , where you will find dome diagrams, dome formulas and an invaluable dome calculator. This Instructable is for a dome with a 7’ radius; this is a “5/8” 3V dome meaning taller vs flatter, over 8’ tall in the middle. The dome likes a flat surface to sit on making it ideal for the open desert playa, not so suitable for uneven terrain. The dome base isn't exactly flat, but close; the flexible nature of the coroplast bows and yields a little when you deploy it to make up for any uneven contact (Note: the prototype pictured here has a radius of 7.2’ but wasted more material from a 4x8 sheet.

Safari BaseCamp 10 is a homebuilt camper trailer that my dad and my brother and I built, with the help of some nearby craftsmen. One of the goals has been to create a self-sufficient system that facilitates a complete set of commodities without the need for hookups. Although many details were worked out during construction, there was quite a bit of prior planning and dreaming involved. It's probably been over two years since the building began, and we're still not done tweaking it. http://www.instructables.com/id/Homebuilt-Camper-Trailer/

How to Make a Personal Fire Pit For Cheap!

http://www.theartofdoingstuff.com/how-to-make-a-personal-fire-pit-for-cheap/ My name is Karen and I haven’t lit anything on fire in 5 months. I’m sure I deserve some sort of a chip or something for that. You see … I’m a bit of a pyromaniac. Technically I’m not a *real* pyromaniac I guess. I mean, I only light things on fire that should be lit on fire. Like kindling and hardwood and pretty much anything with Hello Kitty on it.
