Seeings shreds of toilet paper in the bush saddens me too. I'm sure you said that tongue-in-cheek as I replied , but I would find it naive to blame it all on the 'greasy backpackers', however much one might resent their presence. From what I've seen in any country, much of pollution results from 'emergencies' with kids.

Who travels in a camper with three kids? Not many backpackers. And the reality is that locals are not above putting personal comfort above the communal good. That's human psychology. Wishing you a beautiful day, Smiles, Andy. Hi Saf, Great to hear from you, thanks for your friendly message. Small-town syndrome probably, Christchurch or Auckland would be another story.

Subject: Wonderfully helpful story! Hi Andy, thanks for this article which has really helpful detail in it. I have just bought a Toyota hiace, already fitted out - but not with the fold-up table at the back nor the net in the ceiling.

My friends think I am nuts needing the height - so great to have confirmation on that front. I am interested in your point about the gas bottle size too -- you are right, a small one is all you need, easier to carry and takes less room. Thanks again! Cheers Miriam.

Sadly I don't have the specs. Certainly I wouldn't suggest driving over kph with these things in case you get high winds. You'll probably want to drive slower because of petrol anyhow. If you're asking because of space: these are not vans you can stand up in for these, the roof is cut open and an extra plastic top is mounted. It's a 'natural high top' that gives you space to sit comfortably. Wishing you lots of fun with your trip! Robby — Auckland, NZ. Subject: Campervan questions.

My wife and I planned to buy a toyota hiace high top and after reading about your set up we are sold on the idea. Would you mind if we corresponded about how you converted the van? It would be much appreciated. Specifically, I am interested if you converted it yourself or if you had anyone do it for you?

Thank you. Robby and Court. Subject: Re: Campervan questions. Hi Robby, Great to hear from you. Actually when we bought the van it had just been converted by two Iranian guys in Auckland who specialize in that. Great guys, fun to deal with.
