'Ivan' is a luxury tiny home on wheels built in a decommissioned ambulance
Quirky Campers claims the Toyota HiAce model van is the usual backpackers' campervan choice.
However, instead of going with that chassis, the couple settled on a decommissioned Fiat ambulance that would give them the space for a luxury camper, according to Quirky Campers.
"Over the 10 years we've been here we've traveled extensively around the country in various ways, but our pick is campervanning," Leanne said in a statement.
Quirky Campers claims Ivan is a "true luxury bach on wheels," using a New Zealand term for a small weekend cottage.
Ivan was built on a 2006 Fiat Ducato.
The van is 6.2 meters, about 20.3 feet…
...and can sit and sleep two people.
The bench seats convert into a double bed.
Quirky Campers claims it's a “boutique hotel room on wheels.”
Ivan is self-contained, which means it can fully function without outside sources, such as an external water tank, according to Motorhome Republic.

Self-contained New Zealand campervans need to go through a certification process in order to be billed as such.
Ivan is a “modern twist on a classic wooden camper van interior,” according to its makers.
Raw-edged elm decorates the interior.
The kitchen includes a three-burner stove and gas oven.
It also has a small fridge and freezer.
There's also room for a magnetic spice rack.
The solar panel on the roof that provides energy to the battery.
Ivan also includes a portable toilet….
...and a wood-burner in between the kitchen and bed.
There’s also additional storage spaces and drawers throughout the campbulance.
Guests who are renting the van can also add a gas-heated portable outdoor shower and ensuite shower tent for an extra $35 each.
