Backpacker-van for sale - $3,000 O.N.O.

We're selling our beloved Toyota HiAce in Auckland, available from Sunday, 24. June. He is in good condition, very reliable, has all the equipment you need, and is ready to go!
His name is CocoMoe and he has been our home for the past 3 months. We've traveled all over New Zealand, and have had no problems at all. He's ready for the winter, having isolation and carpet on the floor and a heater, so you can easily keep warm.

He comes with a special power-cable, which allows you to connect to power-outlets at holiday parks; it complies with NZ regulations: it has a special plug, a power-surge protection thingy, and a certificate. We got it cheap (compared to shop-prices): only $200...

He runs about 10 km pr liter of petrol and gets you over all NZ mountains (we've tested :-).

Below you can find all the facts about CocoMoe and see some pictures.
