For some people LEGO is more than just a toy, and this life-sized LEGO trailer is a perfect example of stretching the modular building block toy to its very limits.
This unique caravan trailer actually earned itself the title of 'Largest Caravan Built With Interlocking Plastic Bricks' from Guinness World Records, and was unveiled at the 'Motorhome & Caravan Show' at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, England. Measuring in at 7.2 feet tall, this teardrop trailer took 12 different professional LEGO builders approximately 12 weeks and 1,000 hours to construct and is made using 215,158 individual pieces.
Inside this record-breaking trailer is a whole list of features constructed entirely from LEGO blocks. The interior includes a working sink, chess set, a pair of blocky toothbrushes, a convertible dinette set that turns into a bed and even a fridge filled with LEGO food.
