Caravan enthusiasts may soon be able to get their hands on a unique model created by a Dutch artist.
Kevin Van Braak, originally from Amsterdam, has transformed an old 1976 Contructam Caravan into a mobile garden, complete with synthetic animals and trees, the Daily Mail reported.
The design saw the mobile home stripped of its interior and cut down the middle to allow it to fold out almost flat.
It is capable of seating up to 15 people and the grass and trees are made of silk, while the artificial animals on show are stuffed.
The 33-year-old explained that he plans to sell the piece and suggested that many people actually prefer his "garden" to the real thing.
"I find that these days people go camping wanting to be closer to nature but in the end the experience is artificial," he told the newspaper.
However, according to figures from VisitEngland, UK tourism experienced a strong year in 2009, with a 15 per cent year-on-year rise in August.
