Sam and I have a DREAM to explore the U.S. in an RV. We can't think a better way to REALLY see and EXPERIENCE our country than hopping in a camper and cruising. The open road, the natural world and a simple life call us!
We even decided on the RV we'd want (if the MONEY TREE ever starts growing :wink:).
All this dreaming inspired Sam to create a camper out of Legos. His spatial skills and attention to detail are amazing!
Since our DREAM RV has a slide-out, well, his Lego camper had to have one too. His original design had 1. I mentioned that 2 would give the camper more room, but I didn't think it would be possible to build a Lego RV with 2. Sam pondered for a bit, disappeared, and came back, having rebuilt the body with 2 MOVEABLE slide-outs.
"Mom, see! I can build it with 2 slide-outs!"
But the details didn't stop there! He created "chassis" storage, a driver's "cockpit", a propane tank area, and a "tow package" since we'd need to pull a small car while we travel to visit all those cool spots near the campgrounds.
And even inside the camper there was a steering wheel, sofa and bed!
Sam decided those that it would be REALLY awesome for his Lego RV to pull a TRAVEL TRAILER CAMPER too. You never know when family and friends want to come along too, right?
All this building and creativity has a downside though...
Perhaps his next building inspiration should be a BULLDOZER. :wink:

ReplyDeleteWow! I'm going to show this to my son - he will love it and I'm sure there will be a LEGO camper built here this morning! I have to ask -- what are the milk jugs for??
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking with Collage Friday!
He's also in the process of building a milk jug IGLOO. He has over 300 gallon milk jugs scattered around his bedroom. He's a builder! Always projects-in-process! It's a good thing I'm lenient about how they keep their bedrooms! :wink:
DeleteHow awesome! Don't you love how things can start with one thing and go into something else so awesome! Love it! Stopping by from HHH and now following you. Would appreciate you following me too. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThat is THRILLING and AWESOME- seriously impressed!! Thank you for linking up AND for SUPER plugging my link up so well!! <3

That camper is awesome! Wow! That last photo - yikes! Haha.
ReplyDeleteI know, I know. That room. :sigh: LOL
DeleteIt's true. Creativity does have a downside. My husband might have mentioned that a time or two:-)

We have the same dream! Love the little Lego campers! Don't love stepping on Legos!
ReplyDeleteCool RV! complete with slide-outs and everything. I'm showing this to my boys and their lego club members.
ReplyDeleteI've had the same dream, touring the US in an RV. Hubby's not so sure, though. The Lord knows what our future holds.
Gosh Jessy that is awesome. the details are so right on! Wondering about the jugs, but an igloo great idea! HUZZAH to your weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great job Sam did!! That is one cool camper! Keilee and I would love to do that too. If I could hire a driver! I can't imagine maneuvering that thing all over the US.
