Now here’s a great innovation from Leanne and Dan from Quirky. With experience in buying ready-converted vans and converting their own vans (Ivan and Barbara) they’ve learnt the dos and don’ts, and are keen to help you avoid the pitfalls.
Leanne and Dan…and Ivan
The couple are hosting a FREE workshop where they will walk you through the three main paths to owning a campervan; building it yourself, working with a professional converter or buying a pre-converted van. They will outline the pros and cons of each option, where and how to get started and most importantly, how to avoid the most common mistakes.
- Buying a pre-converted van: where to find them, the main types available in New Zealand, what to look for and what to ask the seller!
- Converting your own van: thoughts on the budget needed, skills required and how long it could take. Plus considerations such as vehicle weight, layout, NZ regulations like WoFs/CoFs, self-containment and gas/electrical safety
- Commissioning a professional conversion: how to choose a converter and what to ask, what it could cost and how long it could take.
The virtual workshop is 7pm on Thursday 3 September and done via a Zoom meeting. You simply sign up on the Quirky site HERE
