Over time, a variety of caravan constructions have come in and out of fashion, including the Burton, brush, reading, ledge, bow top and open lot caravan styles. Though these caravans may look small, many contain all the living essentials: everything from beds, bookshelves, kitchens, cupboards, and even fireplaces may be found in these caravans.

Contemporary caravan designers include Yorkie Greenwood and Lol Thompson, who use bright colors to decorate the vardos with traditional Romani cultural symbols.
