Campervan





We bought ourselves a campervan while in Rotorua - we were very tempted by a 1970s commer truck we came across which had been fitted out with shower, bunks etc and certainly had character - took it out for a drive which was a bit exciting crashing through the gears and throwing everyone around in the back.

Slept on the fantasy overnight and opted for a little nissan which was for sale in the same yard. It has a hi top and a small pop top and there is 'plenty' of room for hanging out inside. It has seats that easily fold down to form a large double bed So far it seems to be a great little van and we keep coming across new things all the time. Found out it even has hot water heated by the engine so you could even have a bit of a shower at a push. Has fridge and freezer for when we can connect to mains power, good radio, 4wd but havent tried this yet, alarm, central locking and all the works. Seems to drive well so fingers crossed.

Not quite big enough for three so we have a little tent to take with us.
