What if we just got a bigger campervan? Like the Trakkadu?
Good idea but unless we want to pay horrendous import duty that isn't going to happen in the short term. But there is nothing comparable on the market in NZ
We had a fixed idea that until we were ready to commit to full time van life that it was in some vague way not the right thing to have a ‘motorhome’ (aside from the practical issues)
Why not?
It seemed a bit excessive to have a motorhome that would only be in use 25% of the year
Hard to justify.
But … is there really any virtue in making life hard just because it’s only part of the year?
And when exactly does a campervan become a motorhome? Is it defined by the word van?
When it exceeds 6m or 7m?
So …. like in the kids game … bigger than the Cali Ocean but not a fiberglass luton-topped landyacht (apologies to Airstream)
I think we have come full circle since this time last year
A Sprinter/Crafter size van is the only compromise
Well … there are lots of those about ! especially this year as Britz and Maui and Apollo sell off more of their fleet to cope with covid losses.
