Lots to choose from...

Nights and nights were spent scrolling through Trademe ads searching for the perfect motorhome. We looked at caravans, motorhomes, buses and house trucks. One evening we marveled over an ad selling an incredible looking house truck over at Kina. Although it was well over the price range we had been looking at, we were so intrigued  we rang up and enquired about it. The owners Pete and Pam invited us to have a look through it. So the next weekend, we drove to Ruby Bay to check it out. It was even better in real life, we were captivated by it. Pam told us another couple were coming from the Coast to see it that same afternoon. We left knowing we couldn't afford it, nevertheless we were transfixed with it.
Our search continued... There was an immaculate looking bus in Richmond that had slide outs that interested us. It looked smart with its new paintwork, but it had bubbles of rust appearing which put us off. We noticed the Kina house truck's ad had been removed from Trademe so we assumed the couple from the Coast had bought it. 
From thereon, everything we looked at didn't measure up to the Kina house truck ... nothing came even slightly close to matching it. Often, we mentioned how lucky the couple were to have bought it.
One Saturday morning, while looking online, we were surprised to see the Kina house truck was back for sale. We rang Pete and Pam and learnt the sale had fallen through due to the couple not being able to sell their house in Westport.
Yipee! It was back on the market. We didn't hesitate to make another time to look at it. If it was at all possible, it was even better looking through it for the second time. We didn't need any further convincing. We both loved it. It was the perfect house on wheels to live in permanently. So we agreed to buy it!
