Hi there !
It's time for us to leave New Zealand so we have to sell « Alphonse », our beloved campervan. We've been travelling together for almost one year and it has been a real mate to us...
Alphonse is self contained so we spent the whole year sleeping in freecamps and not spending one dollar in accomodation (or fines), which is pretty awesome !!!
It is big enough to stand on it and host easily 2 people like in a cosy tiny home. But he's small enough to go everywhere, park and maneuver in cities, and even fit in the « light vehicle » class of ferrys (which is much cheaper !)
It is very easy to drive, in good mecanic condition, set up and all equipped for two people... you just have to bring some clothes and then you're ready to go off on New Zealand's roads !
Available in Auckland from the 1st of October !
