We really really want to self convert Iceberg but really really want professional finish. How about a compromise ! We'll do the insulation (the bits you can't see!) #life #theplan and #thevan #vanconversion
We are Louise and Kelly, a married couple from Christchurch, New Zealand and Iceberg is our future home. She is a 2023 Mercedes Sprinter 170 Extended AWD with a Super High Roof. Back in 2020 we had a Mid-Covid Life crisis and decided, like most of the world, to make a plan to leave our jobs and do what we love. For us its travel bring on full time travelling by 2024. (It was 2022 – but that’s another story!)
Follow along as we prepare the van, house, belongings and savings because trust us …..it doesn’t take two weeks (like most portray) to quit your job, sell your belongings and hit the road, as we are finding out !
