If a bit of adventure is what you need in your life, get ready to discover what 4Guys Autobarn has in store for you.

 

4Guys, already renowned for supplying quality American vehicles, has begun testing the market for a demand for American Travel Trailers in New Zealand.

 

A Travel Trailer, otherwise known as a caravan or camper, is towed behind a road vehicle to provide a comfortable place to sleep, providing more adventure than a motel room and more luxury than a tent.

 

Simon Palfrey of 4Guys Autobarn, on Arthur Porter Drive in Te Rapa, says, “all of these are coming from America but New Zealand has the facilities to convert and comply the appropriate amenities to make them accessible to anyone here in New Zealand for any campsite, whether popular or remote”.

 

Mr Palfrey says although the trailers are conventionally used for travelling or holidays, people are starting to realise the option as an alternative to buying a home.

 

“It appears there is definitely a demand for these types of vehicles as alternative living for a lot of Kiwis, says Mr Palfrey. “With house prices the way they are, a lot of people are beginning to consider building and permit costs of permanent dwellings.  Buying a section and placing one of these on it is a lot cheaper and easier with the same comfort of living.”

 

Mr Palfrey says this is an exciting development and he expects New Zealanders will embrace the opportunity to order a trailer, which are all purchased new from America and can be matched to the buyer’s specific requirements.

 

“We will continue to stock these units as a demonstration of the build quality, but with unique personal preferences and requests we believe a large portion of customers will buy to order for their individual needs,” he says.

 

Mr Palfrey says 4Guys will be offering delivery of Travel Trailers to locations in the North Island “at next to no cost”.

 

“But we would go the whole way down the country,” he says, “to make it work for the customer.”
