Nissan Serena Sleepervan "Serenity"

Serenity is a compact sleepervan from Campervanz Rentals in Christchurch – a small family business where Ernesto builds and maintains every van himself: the solar systems, batteries, insulation and joinery. A comfy, well-designed minivan with a long 1.9 m bed that folds into a dining area and a fully functional rear kitchen. Cheap on fuel and easy to drive.
