Enjoy NZ! Living the true backpacker life. Seen so many estima camper converts whilst out there. Great van, spacious and generally reliable when looked after

Wow, very nicely done ✔️ 👏... Very patient and detailed with recording too.

Very well organized! Cheers from Alabama, USA!!

great info - useful practical info for me thanks - just purchased 1992 previa in U.S.

I'm very close to buying a Toyota Previa here in the USA. the only one I can find in good condition without 1 million miles on it, doesn't have the sun/moon roofs unfortunately. But I may still pick it up. The other option are imported Estima from Japan, but they are more expensive and occasionally have quite a bit of rust on the undercarriage.

Awesome 👍... Enjoy.. Thank you for sharing ❤️

Check oil a lot, I have the same car but with a spun bearing.Oil often leaks thru the distributor and requires a new o ring. Also valve cover gasket.

Mine does have a slow oil leak, but it is so slow that after months of owning it, the oil was still near the max level.

Great tour!!

Thanks! Sadly I just sold it and I am leaving New Zealand. But maybe I will buy another campervan in another country soon. 🙃

Yes! The Toyota Estima is the Japanese version of the Previa that was sold in North America. I read the Estima is slightly smaller than the Previa to circumvent some sort of Japanese vehicle taxation law that taxed vehicles over a certain size. When I was 16, I actually learned to drive on my parents' 1990s Toyota Previa in the US, and then I ended up owning it’s cousin as a campervan in New Zealand!

just come across this video

i now own this van

Where is the power button to open / close the moon glass slide roof panel situated?

You mentioned you used to have a chemical toilet. What do you use now, and where? Just wondering how others handle that part of van life. .We have a small port a potty that can be used inside if need be, but most times we pop up the little changing tent and place it there..

Yeah, I did several times. And washed the window. Still wouldn’t stay up. But I sold the van so it doesn’t matter now.

Best campers

Break down quickly. Hard to find parts. If you're living in a van, truck, camper you need it to be dependable and safe

@@justicewatch3916 that's the opposite of what I have heard. And the used models I see for sale around where I live usually have 300~400k + miles on them. I'm not going to buy one with that many miles, but it bodes well for their longevity.

Is this car Toyota previa
