What is a gypsy caravan called in English?

A gypsy caravan is most commonly called a vardo in English.

Other terms include:

* Romany caravan

* Romany wagon

* Gypsy wagon

* Bow top wagon (referring to the curved roof)

* Covered wagon (though this term is more general and can refer to other types of wagons)

It's important to note that the term "gypsy" is considered outdated and offensive by many Roma/Romany people. Using the term "Romany" or "Romany caravan" is more respectful.
