So, one thing I have learned about my dear husband (DH) after nearly 20 years of togetherness, is that he is all about the action.
As soon as we had put it out there that we might want to take 6 months off work and travel around NZ in a campervan, he was ON IT. Trade Me, night after night. Comparisons of water volume, solar power, campervans vs caravans, storage space, sleeping arrangements, yahdeeyahdeeyahdah.
We had a humble budget for a camper, so we narrowed it down to a fairly dated, extraordinarily high kms campervan that was available for viewing in Grey Lynn.
We trotted along to view it. Exciting! It seemed real once we were standing inside the camper looking at the over cab bed that would serve our precious boy (PB) on our adventure.
DH is a wheeler dealer from way back and offered the seller a much reduced from window price offer. The next potential purchasers arrived for their viewing and the seller put us off and didn't accept our low offer.
In the meantime, a much newer, more spacious, very comfortable CARAVAN came up for sale in Papamoa. Not one to unduly delay matters, DH backed up PB and the next door neighbour (a very valued expert of all things caravan) and headed to the Bay of Plenty to view.
On the way home, towing the newly purchased caravan, DH receives a call from the seller of the aged Grey Lynn campervan reconsidering our initial offer.
"He who hesitates is lost..."
And we now have a caravan!! EEEEEKKK!
