    It must be.

    The rear wheel looks smaller and on a narrower track than the front.

    Seen a lot worse ...

    For a "homemade" campervan it doesn't look to bad really.

    Problem is though, it won't last too long. Caravans are built to sit on a chassis (trailer) that doesn't flex. All the flexing while driving over a bad road is done by the suspension and around the trailer hitch, while the wood and styrofoam caravan stays rigid.

    Chopping the chassis off and planting the caravan on a van chassis (that now lacks the rigidity of a roof and side beams) is a recipe for desaster.

    A few hundred miles on bad roads and that thing will start to fall apart.


    Quite a common problem on factory built motorhomes as well. Especially on the super sleek ones that are based on the low van chassis and not on a ladder frame.
