I don't mean to be rude, but I'm surprised noone has yet asked how much this itself is an epic case of productive procrastination.
As in: "The job I have [refactor] is grinding, but the shiny awesome distraction project idea I have [caravan workspace] is shiny and awesome and clearly very important, so I'll focus and work really hard on it"
I'm prone to see this pattern because I'm prone to falling into it myself. Not that it's exclusively a bad pattern, you can get a lot done that way.
jaquesm, if you don't mind I'd be interested to know two things:
* How long the whole setup took, and how long you've had the caravan for? (I saw you've been using it at least 10 days from the post, which seems a very good sign - obviously you got some work done recently apart from finding/installing/blogging your new caravan workplace.)
* As a favour, could you please follow up in 2-3 months and tell us honestly how it is working out?
