Enjoying van life with their dog

“We made a bed for Kerun between the driver’s seat and the passenger’s seat.”

Eri has traveled to New Zealand with a friend in a DIY van. However, this was the first time for her to touch full-scale tools, and she said that some parts were a little out of alignment or tilted when she looked closely. Such work was done at a DIY workshop at a home improvement center or in the parking lot of Mobara’s workplace.

“Even if we want to travel with our dog, there is often no accommodation conveniently close to our destination where we can stay with our dog, and Kerun usually sleeps in his bed at home and doesn’t come to our bed. When we stay in the car with Bongo, Kerun sleeps between me and her, which makes me very happy.”

Mobara said with a smile.

“This was my first time at an event like this and I enjoyed getting to know so many people who enjoy the van life and I hope to attend again. Also, Bongo has been wanting to do ceiling planking and ceiling lighting, which I’ve wanted to do since I first bought the van, and I’d like to take part in the next event.”
