It’s that simple.

Sandflies… mozzies… New Zealand’s true apex predators 😂
We’ve been using this little gadget called @heatit_nz for bug bites and honestly? It works. A quick burst of heat helps calm the itch (science!) and it’s been a game-changer on the road.
We tried it first, our mates are using it now too. Handy wee thing to have in the van!
Check it out! 🪰 🔥

We made a point of taking Tommy’s parents to Aoraki/Mount Cook because, well… how could we not?
Ki te tōuhu koe, me he mauka teitei, ko Aoraki anake.
If you must bow your head, let it be to the lofty mountain, Aoraki.
Even though part of the Hooker Valley Track was closed, it was still absolutely beautiful. That first glimpse of Aoraki still takes your breath away every single time. Walking with family, under those soaring peaks and wide skies, moments like that stick with you forever. 🏔️💙

For our @australiscaravansnz build, we’ve fitted the @bosjockey Unit and Stabiliser Legs.
It’s a setup we’d been seeing pop up more and more, now we can see why.
There was a bit of a learning curve at first, but after a hands-on run-through from the @bosjockey team (absolute legends), it all clicked.
The Jockey Unit makes raising and lowering the front of the van a breeze with a drill, no more winding yourself into a sweat.
The Stabiliser Legs are next-level compared to standard wind-down legs. They can lift the caravan to change a tyre, stabilise on uneven ground, and lock everything solid. The different pipe extensions are there for a reason too.
For us, travelling in the @australiscaravans and often parking up on corners of the earth that aren’t exactly level… having @bosjockey gear onboard has been epic!!
Look at those legs!

it was windy and absolutely epic!! We took the ute up to Duffers Saddle on the Nevis Road the highest public road pass in New Zealand. It’s raw, rugged high-country terrain up here, and 4WD is recommended.
The views from the top are next-level: endless rolling ranges, deep valleys carved by ancient rivers, and that vast, wide-open @centralotagonz sky that makes you feel tiny.

One of the trickiest (and riskiest!) choices in our entire build… the flooring.
You never really know how it’s going to look until it’s down, but we trusted our gut, took the leap, and we’re so glad we did.
We chose Braga Oak in a herringbone pattern from @signaturefloors_home Savannah Range, and it completely made the feel of the van, adding length, light, and depth.
