Description
Meet “Chug-a-Lug” – The Tiny Home With a Big Story (and Even Bigger Freedom) Some vehicles get you from A to B… Chug-a-Lug rewrites the whole alphabet. Back in 2020, she was bought with a dream: travel, freedom, adventure. I packed up everything I owned, turned the key, and quite literally drove off into my next chapter For the past 4 years, Chug-a-Lug has been more than a bus. She’s been a home, a travel companion, a conversation starter, and a front-row seat to some of the best views New Zealand has to offer. She’s carried stories up mountains, along coastlines, into campgrounds full of strangers who became friends, and quiet spots where the only sound was the kettle boiling. And she’s done it all reliably, comfortably, and off-grid. The Practical Bits (because she’s not just a pretty face): 1990 Toyota Coaster – 7m (standard car license) Economical to run. Fully self-contained (certificates up to date at time of sale) 2 berth – cosy and functional 120L fresh water + 120L grey water Shower + cassette toilet Solar system (batteries 3 years old) Bus batteries (approx. 20 months old) Solar fridge Gas heater for those chilly nights Backup charging from bus batteries (so no sun no problem) Brand new awning Wake up by the beach one day, in the hills the next, tucked away somewhere quiet with a coffee and birdsong or stay put and wait out the fuel crisis! No landlords. No rising rent. No asking permission. Just you,and the freedom to choose your view. Why she’s for sale? If I could keep Chug-a-Lug as well, I absolutely would. But this next chapter needs funding… so it’s time for someone new to take the wheel. If you’re not just looking for a vehicle, but a lifestyle… If you’ve ever thought “there has to be more than this”… If the idea of waking up somewhere different excites you… Chug-a-Lug might just be your sign. Come meet her. She’s ready for her next story.
