This looks like fun! Thanks for posting.

I found lots more photos and build/travel journals by right clicking the photos posted. Google did a fair translation to English. Here's a link to a Frame building slide show

I wonder how difficult that would be to pull and what kind of speed you could average. It does look cool though. I have seen them before
I have thoughts

These smaller wagons were called "vardo" in the Romani language (originating from the Ossetic word vurdon) for cart.[16] The Romani vardo evolved into some of the most advanced forms of travelling wagon, and are prized for their practicality as well as aesthetic design and beauty. There is no more iconic or recognizable Romani symbol than a highly decorated Romanichal vardo, and the time of its use is often affectionately called "the wagon time" by Romanichal travellers. The vardos were typically Stylish DP commissioned by families or by a newlywed couple from specialist coach builders. Building the vardo took between six months to a year; a variety of woods including oak, ash, elm, cedar, and pine were utilized in its construction. Prized by the Romani, and later by non-Romani, including other traveller groups, for their practicality as well as aesthetic beauty, vardos can be categorized into six main styles
