    Hello everybody,
    I’m writing from France and I’m looking for someone who can help me to buy a housetruck. I know that I’m very far away from you but I do really love housetrucks and I really need help. There are no housetruck for sale in France but New-Zeland seems to be the right country for them…Thanks in advance and kindest regards, Agnès agnes.prunetti@wanadoo.fr

    Hi my names josh. i was one of the lucky second gens of house truckers, i got spend the first years of my life in a house truck. unfortunately its so far back i dont remember really what it was like. but it is something i am proud of and im very thankful to my parents for giving me a an unique beginning to life, i think it has had a great affect on me, as subconcious as it may be. 25 years later i am now expecting my first child, and i now also hope at some stage will also be able to share this unique lifestyle with my beautiful girlfriend and our child, even if it is only for a season.
    i hope to see my long lost travelling whanau again on the road,
    jah bless

    Hi there.
    I’m currently living in the orange Zone in Christchurch believing it is going to go red. I am a single mum of two and I’m looking at taking my kids on the road in a house truck. Still have to get an HT yet. But I’m sick of houses, sick of earthquakes and ready for a new lifesyle. I need help to find a truck or bus(prefer truck). And need help with how to school on the road. Any suggestion please.

    Where is BOUNTY??? I sold my 74 Bedford truck to a lovely(pregnant)girl called Billie from Warkworth way, back in 2006/7.Have been thinking about them alot lately and was wondering if anyone knows of their whereabouts. The truck was christened Bounty by the builders, Shane and Leslie Moon from Kerikeri. She has a dark stained timber exterior with exposed native timber interior, 2 lofts, a red flower leadlight window above the cab, a small round window above the bathroom sink along with lots of other leadlights. Thanks for the website, it makes me miss her even more!

  • Handy_handle

    And also because yours is there, too? hahaha

  • Frann

    I just love this page. The Trucks are so inventive and stylish!

  • Mike

    Mikro I sent you an email. Did you get it?

  • Mike

    I am happy to show off my housetruck if you want to view. It is still a work in progress but mostly finished. It is liveable, but I am always finding things to alter or add, so the work continues.

  • mikro

    All trucks !!!!!

  • Mike

    Hummel, which specific truck are you a fan of? Or was that referring to all house trucks in NZ?

  • Hummel

    Good morning,
    I am French and I am a big fan of your truck

    If you wish to build your own from scratch, then I am sure there will be a lot of people with ideas for you and it is up to you which one suits you. I usuallytell people that if they wish to take up the “road lifestyle” then they are best to buy a “home” about a year or so before they are ready to leave. Then go aay for weekends and holidays in there home. That way they can find anything that needs to be done and/or do changes to how they want things to work.
    Also if you chat to people who have “home-made” mobile homes then some are more than happy to allow you to look thru theirs. I am happy to have you look thru my bus (Austin WEK shown) if that helps you with your plans of what you want.
    But I strongly believe that if you are destind to have something it will happen…usualy when you least expect it.

    Good luck
    Mike

    Hi Dave,many thanks for your reply. It is difficult to find out just what is for sale around the country and Trade Me mostly deals in buses or motorhomes with the occasional housetruck thrown in. However I will keep looking as a housetruck is exactly what I am looking for in preference to a bus or motorhome. Thanks once again, Nolan

  • Dave

    Hi Nolan, this site doesn’t have a “For Sale” section (though if enough interest, Stu could probably add one) and the images in the galleries are just that. Images that have been supplied by others, taken by Stu or garnered from sites like TM. I think some of the photos are quite possibly many years old, and any information displayed in the photos might well be out of date…A good image program might be able to help define the phone number.

  • Nolan Loveridge

    Thanks Mike, but you are right in that the Caravan association deals only in motorhomes, that is different to what I am looking for. In the right hand column of the page of photographs supplied there is a Bedford housetruck which seems to have a for sale sign on it. Its too hard to read the phone number. The photograph shows two little girls standing at the back door and the photo is six up from the bottom on the right side. It is exactly the sort of thing I am looking for. Any help in identifying that one would be tremendously recieved. Many thanks, Nolan

  • Mike

    Nolan..
    One website I have seen it trademe. But there may be others. Although for mobile homes, as opposed to housetrucks/buses, are also advertised on the Motor Caravan Association websites “advertising” page or in their book.
    I hope this helps.

  • Nolan Loveridge

    I was wondering if anyone could please direct me to a site which advertises any of these house trucks for sale?

  • Mike

    Jen,
    If you miss the stay in a housetruck/bus then I am happy to let you borrow mine sometimes.
    You will need a class 2 license and have compassion for others road users as my bus not very fast..lol
    But it does have plenty of room inside.
    I live in the Hutt Valley area.
    If that sounds like you then leave a reply here and I will arrange for you to view my bus. Anything to help out the “Housebus/truck” community and its supporters has ot be a good thing I reckon..lol
    Mike
