This 2 birth campervan is like a home on wheels, it has everything you need to just drive of for weekend breaks and extended holidays, or live in it permanently off grid and save on rent, details as follows.
As you can see in the pictures this has no side windows but it is very light inside with the skylight but if you prefer windows they can be fitted for around $300 - $400
The inside of the campervan has been designed for sleeping, cooking, shower/toilet and storage in mind with main living room area being the enclosed awning.

However, if you are just having an overnight stay you can use the seats in the cab as there is a folding umbrella windscreen shade for privacy.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️

It all began when Bert Sutcliffe Village resident Marie began arranging evenings at the theatre for her neighbours.
