Popular Post LS 2 THE DEEE Posted March 24, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2015 This is The Little Caravan called Daphne! It came about as we planned for our wedding and had a similar one booked but changed the date then the caravan couldn't make the new date. We then decided we liked the idea so much to build our own. Essentially the caravan is made to serve drinks at any special occasion or event. The person hiring it supplies the alcohol and we keep it cool and flowing to the guests. So we found a caravan brought it home and stripped it out. It had leaks and rotten framing to be expected from a 60's (we think) caravan. The building side was abit beyond my skill level and tools available so I searched and found a guy perfect for the job. He replaced all the rotten framing and lined it all with ply to strengthen what was quite a wobbly old girl Next was make an install cabinets for bench top to sit on Next was install bench top and the big one was custom make the Windows which took the builder many hours but using rimu did an amazing job and came better than we could of imagined. We used perpsex to keep the weight down. Next was my turn to tackle the outside and respray. Every trim had to be removed and resealed and countless hours went into getting it painted. Also our wedding date was approaching quick so pressure was on. So now all painted it was time to tidy up the inside, install sinks, finish Lighting and seal up joinery and benchtop. Me and my brother were still working on it at 11 the morning of the wedding....last minute but we made it...just! Now open for business! We have Facebook page active and the website is getting done as we speak. Enjoy 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlownCorona Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 that is really well done. any issues with liquor licence or anything? or is it no big deal since your just handing it out and not selling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS 2 THE DEEE Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 I started it with a loose budget on what I thought things would cost and exceeded that long ago. I would say after everything is sorted including website, glassware, advertising etc probably be about 20k maybe..that includes cost of the caravan And in regards to license because we only serve the alcohol the person hiring the caravan provides we don't need one. We will be getting liquor manager license etc so we can eventually sell it and make more money to spend on my car haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
