This is a bespoke, high-quality custom-made campervan with a unique soul. Originally built by a local Kiwi family, it has since been owned by only two generations of German backpackers (all non-smokers). It is in top condition and has been 100% trouble-free. We are selling our beloved camper after 2.5 months of traveling. We bought this reliable van specifically for our trip here, as we needed something dependable for a short but intensive timeframe. Since our journey is now moving to the next destination, it’s time to pass it on to the next adventurer.

Named after the friendly Pīwakawaka (Fantail) in the framed picture above the bed—your loyal companion for your New Zealand adventure.

🛠 MECHANICAL & SECURITY (Certified Quality)

✅ Double AA Check Protection: 10-point AA check done recently with zero issues found.

✅ Long-term Paperwork: WOF until Nov 2026 and REGO until June 15th, 2026 – no extra costs for a long time!

✅ Meticulous Maintenance: FRESH service in April 2026!

✅ Chain-Driven Engine: No expensive cambelt changes required – saves you $800+ in maintenance!

✅ Security: Central locking and comes with a spare key (2 keys total).

✅ Body Condition: Structurally solid and reliable. The exterior has some cosmetic scratches and a few larger dents on the tailgate consistent with its age (23 years), but mechanically it is 10/10.

✅ Car-Jam Report from 02.03.2026 when I bought the van (not stolen, no money owing and odometer plausible)
