🇬🇧 English below | 🇫🇷 Français plus bas

She’s old. She’s got stories. She’s got a few wrinkles. 😂

But Betty is one hell of a van.

After months of travelling and actually living in her with my partner, through different weather and conditions, she has been our little home on wheels — and she’s been well loved, maintained and looked after.

🔧 ~$6,000 recently invested in repairs & maintenance

📋 Receipts/documentation available

Now it’s time for Betty to find her next owners. 🥹❤️

🌿 WHY BETTY?

If you’re looking for a tiny van where you have to crawl around and choose between sleeping OR cooking… this probably isn’t it.

Betty is BIG.

With her high roof, long wheelbase and spacious interior, you get a proper amount of living space. At around 180 cm standing height, you can actually move around inside comfortably.

🛏️ Proper indoor living area

🍳 Indoor kitchen

📦 Lots of built-in storage

☀️ Solar + house battery

🚽 Portable toilet

⛺ Large awning + outdoor setup

And yes — she has done many kilometres.

~374,XXX km — still in use.

But the important thing isn't just the number on the odometer. Betty has had significant recent mechanical work and approximately $6,000 has been invested in repairs and maintenance, with receipts/documentation available.

She's an old lady — not a disposable one. 😉

🛠️ RECENT WORK & MAINTENANCE

We've personally invested approximately $6,000 into keeping Betty in good shape, including:

🔧 New alternator belts

🔧 New glow plugs

🔧 New cylinder

🔧 Gearbox repaired

🔧 Rust treatment completed

🔧 Full leak treatment

🔧 New brakes and rotors on rear wheels

🔋 New starter battery

🔋 Brand new 120Ah house battery

🛞 New rear tyre

She has also been regularly driven and maintained while we've been living in her.

📋 Receipts/documentation available for serious buyers.

🌏 BUILT FOR NEW ZEALAND

We've lived in Betty for months, so this isn't a van that was thrown together just to sell.

We've actually used the setup — the kitchen, bed, storage, solar, fridge and living space — while travelling around New Zealand.

She's ideal for someone who wants:

✨ SPACE

✨ Comfort

✨ Off-grid capability

✨ A proper indoor living area

✨ A ready-to-go setup

✨ The freedom to travel NZ without constantly packing everything away

Yes, Betty is a 1998 van with high kilometres.

She's not brand new, she's not perfect, and I'm not going to pretend she is.

But she's had a significant amount of recent work and care put into her, and she's ready for someone to take her on the next adventure. ❤️

She's a simple, spacious, character-filled old-school campervan — and she still has plenty of adventures left.

🌏 CONÇUE POUR LA NOUVELLE-ZÉLANDE

Nous avons vécu dans Betty pendant des mois, ce n'est donc pas un van bricolé à la va-vite juste pour être vendu.

Nous avons réellement utilisé son installation — cuisine, lit, rangements, système solaire, frigo et espace de vie — pendant nos voyages en Nouvelle-Zélande.

Elle est idéale pour quelqu'un qui veut :

✨ DE L'ESPACE

✨ Du confort

✨ Une capacité d'autonomie hors réseau

✨ Un véritable espace de vie intérieur

✨ Une configuration prête à partir

✨ La liberté de voyager en NZ sans devoir tout ranger constamment

Oui, Betty est un van de 1998 avec un kilométrage élevé.

Elle n'est pas neuve, elle n'est pas parfaite, et je ne vais pas prétendre le contraire.

Mais elle a reçu beaucoup de travail et d'entretien récemment, et elle est prête pour sa prochaine aventure. ❤️

C'est un camping-car simple, spacieux et plein de caractère, à l'ancienne — et elle a encore beaucoup d'aventures devant elle.

📩 Envoyez-moi un message pour plus de photos, d'informations, les factures ou pour organiser une visite.
