Sometimes a caravan will have a wagon dedicated to letting people sit in it as passengers and convers, work on small crafts, and other activities while the caravan is moving. A bus wagon is often a Vardo being worked on but while construction is going on people can sit in it and talk while the caravan is on the move.

A Reading Wagon is a wagon set aside for storage of books.  People can be allowed to sit in one of the reading seats and read a book in the wagon.  Rose folks collect books and store them in a reading wagon.  A gratuity is generally expected for the chance to read.  The person who runs the wagon may live in it but not always.  The Librarian is almost always at least a Friar of the Rose Order.

It is important to note that while the Rose Temple has a pantheon they admit their deities, the Rose Temple deities, may just be Idealizations of concepts and not actual beings.  But even they are not sure.  Rose Temple folk do not push their deities on others and do their good works without calling on the deity as many other religions do. They do not require religious observations in any of their works.
