From Buying a Van to Converting it to
Our Home on Wheels
When we first arrived in New Zealand we weren’t quite sure if we want to buy a van and build it out ourselves or to purchase an already built out van. But we wanted the challenge to create the van we want! So the decision was made: we are buying a van!
Since Auckland was our starting point and home for the first couple weeks, we started searching online on trademe and checked out the surrounding car dealerships. Funny enough, the first van we looked at was eventually the one we bought, though we looked at many others afterwards but came back to the first one, Wallace.
