A van (or 'busjes' to our Dutch friends)
from 1984-1991 is sometimes a better choice then a campervan
for your upcoming tour of Australia. The is because
campervans are so popular, that the good ones
are rare and therefore more expensive to buy putting
them outside the budget of a backpacker.
Basic Vans are a great alternative for
backpackers, who are prepared to compromise a few creature
comforts for a relaible working vehicle. Basic Vans
have previously been used around the city for commercial
purposes, and therefore aren't as tired as campervans
from long hard journey's around Australia. This in general
means you get a better 'working quality' vehicle.
You
always have many alternatives with a van. A van can
be great for up to 6 or 7 mates to travel around in,
having a party all along the East Coast.
If its only 2 or 3 people travelling,
you can always pull out the back seats (if there is
any to start with), throw in a $50 foam mattress, and
you've got a set of wheels that is going to save you
$$$ on accommodation.
Or, if you want to spend a little extra,
we can build inside the van for you, a customcamper
kit which provides you with a bed, storage space, curtains,
kitchenette with shelves, pump tap sink, gas cooker
and many many more.
This is what's known as the Slap
n Tickle Deluxe Van. These vans have all the creature
comforts of a campervan but without the price tag.
We always stock a wide range of vans,
(or 'busjes' to the Dutchies) all good enough for sightseeing
Australia. We can provide them as is, or can transform
them according to your desires.
PRICES:
The price range is generally between $4,000 and $8,000.
We deal in a range of makes and models that include:
- Toyota Hi Ace
- Toyota Lite Ace
- Toyota Tarago
- Mitsubishi Urvan
- Ford Econovan
- Mazda E2000
Vans make great sense to buy if your are prepared to
take your time when cruising. They have smaller engines
then the Ford Falcons, but always have great resale
especially if they have been fitted out with some camping
gear.
EXAMPLE:
A couple travelling for 6 months around Australia buys
a Ford Econovan for $5,000.
- Price of Van: $5,000
- Third Party Property Insurance: $310
- Petrol: $500
- TOTAL: $5,810
Guaranteed Buyback of 40% x $5810 = $2,324
- ACTUAL COST of the van for 6 months: $3,486
- Price Per Person = $1743
- Price Per Person Per Day = $10.01
For only $10 per day, you not only have all the transport
that you need for your adventure, but also you can use
as accommodation to save. Cheap ha?
AVIOD CHEAP VANS!
We are very shy of cheap vans and refuse to sell these
types of vehicle (esp. V.W. Kombi van's 70's era).
NOTE: Vans are not suitable for more than 2 people
and you should be planning a slow, unhurried trip. Remember
these vans have relatively small engines.
