Your Childhood Will Be Complete When You See This Record-Breaking Life-Size LEGO Camper

12 professional builders, 215,158 LEGO bricks and a period of 1000 hours over 12 weeks is what it took to build the world's largest LEGO caravan, which resulted in a Guinness World Record. Under the guidelines of Guinness World Records it had to adhere to some specifications, which it fully met: a traditional "teardrop" shape, and just like a real camper it has running water and working lights.

This thing is a real beaut and you can view it at theÂ LEGO event BRICK 2015 in Birmingham, England.

It measures at 2.2 m tall by 3.6 m wide and is on display next to it's real life counterpart at Brick Shows Live.

But, when you step inside is when you'll truly be amazed. There's kitchen set, that's not real, but the design is convincing enough.

A sink that is real, and has running water.

And a refrigerator that's stocked with milk and tomatoes (don't eat or drink these, just decoration).

"How better to celebrate 130 years of leisure caravanning than with a world record? Record-breaking is particularly fascinating when two worlds collide â€“ in this case, the worlds of caravanning and LEGO building!"Â said Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief Craig Glenday.

After motorcycle racer Carl â€œFoggyâ€ Fogarty and BBC TV presenter Matt Baker ceremoniously attached the last bricks, the team was presented with their certificate for holding a world record.

And there's so much more to see like the small details of toothbrushes, a bed, other seating and even a usable chess set. Take a full tour of this record breaking caravan by watching this video:

This looks like the most playful way to take a vacation, and maybe someday somebody will actually travel in this thing!
