James Collins is the master builder behind the construction of his family's caravan, which can house up to 12 people. It took Collins a year to built the frame by hand, and to do the detailed paint-work on the caravan's sides and tires. James cannot read and never went to school and made a living as a tinsmith before the Roads Act of 1993 barred roadside encampments for Travellers.
