Caravan disguised as logging truck

Could there be a caravan hidden under there?

Ian Murdoch, of Laurieston, Dumfries-shire, has converted his classic Atkinson Borderer lorry into a faux-log truck, concealing a 5 berth caravan beneath.

The Sun reports Mr Murdoch, a retired haulage boss, has found a crafty way of getting around hotel and caravan park fees with the disguise.

Ian told the Sun “It’s an ideal place to stay. I planned to build a log cabin on the back but that was too big a project. So I bought a caravan and put that on the back. You can’t see it from outside, but plenty of light comes in.”

Ian takes his 35-year old Atkinson Borderer to vintage shows around the country and is planning on using his rig to travel the West Coast with his wife Sheena.
