Guy Williams, a former surveyor from Bristol, founded The Fat Pony Workshop and converted a 2002 Ford Iveco Cargo truck into a modular camper with a jacuzzi. The truck was purchased for £5,500, and the finished camper is valued at around £40,000. It features a bedroom with bunk beds, a kitchen with gas hob and fridge, a toilet with composting toilet, and a convertible living area that transforms into a bedroom with a double bed and a spa area with a whirlpool bath. The camper sleeps four and is equipped with a 250-liter water tank and a 230 Ah battery.

If Homer Simpson had designed a camper car, it would have been like this six-wheeled Cadillac with a coffee maker and TV

In 1978, Swiss designer Franco Sbarro created a mobile office based on a Cadillac Eldorado for Saudi businessman Joseph E. Adjadj. The vehicle, over seven meters long and weighing nearly three tons, featured four large seats, desks, telephones, a refrigerator, a coffee maker, and a TV, but no beds or kitchen. The project remained a single prototype, as it was considered too large, expensive, and ahead of its time for an era without remote work culture.

Couple sells house to buy abandoned campsite in Wales

In June 2022, Jon and Emilie James sold their home for £132,000 and purchased a former miners' campsite in Llanelli, South Wales, abandoned since 1989. Over three years, they transformed the littered plot into an off-grid glamping site with a tiny house and sauna, spending £90,000 on the purchase and leaving £500 in their account. The couple lived without electricity and hot water, learning construction from YouTube tutorials. The project has attracted thousands of followers online.

Expansion of caravan park near Bridgwater can remain in place

Somerset Council's planning committee unanimously voted to allow the expansion of the Cutters Combe touring caravan site between Bridgwater and the Quantock Hills. The site, originally approved for five touring caravans or campervans in 2024, doubled in size without planning permission. Enmore Parish Council objected, citing "flagrant disregard for planning policy," but the committee deemed the proposal "sensible and proportional." Because the plans are retrospective, the development is exempt from the 10% biodiversity net gain requirement.
