Marvin

Meet Marvin. Marv is a 21 year old American born Kiwi. Converted from an old Ford Ecovan Marv will be our home and more for the next month.

Due to a short stay here in New Zealand we decided against buying our own van and instead to rent one. A quick search of 'sort descending by price' brought us to Marvin.


He will be our primary means of transport as we hope to navigate both the North and South Islands of New Zealand in a little over four weeks. Marv incorporates a front cabin driving space for us to clock up the hours and miles on the roads. A long and short sofa with a table in the back makes up the living room, which in the evening converts into the bedroom. Moving towards the kitchen, Marv has a twin gas cooker, fridge, microwave and even a kitchen sink. Through to the living quarters is a wardrobe and mirror leading to the wide opening back door. Marvs height extension means we can both stand up fully in the back, and have plenty of storage for all our stuff. Fortunately Marv also comes with all the equipment we could need, cooking, bedding and an outdoor table and chair set.



With Marv loaded up with all our gear and a full tank of fuel it's off into the land of sheep and hobbits we go!
