For those who know John Warren, he is a character like no other.

He exerts all his time in his passion projects and his latest one has caught the eyes of everyone driving by.

Parked in his driveway in Craigieburn, is a funky caravan that he devoted six months of his life building.

But prior to this, getting out of bed was a struggle for John.

He was out of work for 10-15 years after damaging three discs in his back, but it was the mental struggle that he found hardest.

“What threw me out of whack was the depression, that was just two years in bed. I just didn’t know which way to go, what to actually do. It just pulled me down so bad,” John said.

“I try to keep a positive outlook by doing these sorts of things and keeping busy.”

John is now selling the caravan and hopes it continues to spread joy wherever it goes next.

“If anyone ever gets it I just hope they enjoy it as much as what I do because it creates so much versatility where people come up to you and you have so much fun and laughter together,” he said.

“I think that’s what it does, these projects that I do, it creates so much joy for people.”
