We are two kiwi’s that have poured our heart & souls into this van build and now it is time to go home to New Zealand after our epic Euro adventure. If you want the option of being ‘off grid’ or ‘stealth’ then Vanessa is the conversion for you.
We have 2 folders documenting the build and all the receipts as well as all the mechanical work dating back to her last owner. We have lived full time in ‘Vanessa’ for the past 6 months, driving all over Europe with absolutely no problems. She has seen some treacherous hills and never once has she let us down. My husband is an aircraft mechanic and he’s been keeping her running smoothly this whole trip, and I’m a teacher that’s made sure everything has been meticulously planned and recorded, so you can bet you’re getting exactly what you’d expect.
This van is ready to go whenever you are, and everything you see comes with her because we can’t take anything with us – you could take Vanessa today and drive into sunset for your first adventure!
Vanessa also comes with everything for your ‘just-in-cases’ too – tools like a drill, spanners, screwdrivers and sealants (and many many more!). Also included, is a euro driving kit.

Seat back folds up and bolts into the wall to create a full sized double bed (135cm x 210cm)
You then put the seat squab on the end of bed to make it full size – although I am 6ft and can fit on the bed diagonally, without putting the bed up, if it’s just me.
This van could sleep 3, when the bed is up, a mattress could simply be put on the bench seat to accommodate a child as it is 50cmx165cm.
