Our Campervan

I realized that I never put a picture of our campervan on the blog! So before I finished writing about New Zealand, I thought it might be nice to write about it. I was talking with a friend about my trip this summer and how I set a budget for my time abroad. One way that I as really able to save money and still see a lot was because of this campervan. It served as my hotel, my car, my restuarant, and it was cheaper on gas then my own car at home.

Torey and I were able to split the cost of the rental and gas. In fact, because our campervan used desiel, it was cheaper than when I fill up my Xterra. I only paid about $30 for a full tank in the campervan and we usually just filled up once a day. And even if you decide to book in a campground for the night, it is cheaper then staying at a hostel. So I believe we got our money's worth by trekking around the country in this cute campervan.

As you can see, it was not very big (more like a glorified van). We would fold down the table each night to make a bed. And fortunately we could stand up inside. I thought the company, Pacific Horizon, was good to go with because they also provided a lot of essentials. We had pots, pans, tupperware dishes, platers, cutlery, blankets, towels, and even two pillows. So we felt very taken care of. I would use this company again in a heartbeat!
