Hello Fellow Vanlifers!

My name is Jody and I would like to introduce you to Kiwi the van! He is named so as he is (mostly) green on the inside.
A little backstory into Kiwi, I spent last year building him out and then travelling in him all across the UK and parts of Europe (have a look on my Instagram if you are curious as to where we went!)

But now is the time to part with my beloved Kiwi as I will be starting my dream job in the Netherlands soon.
I am not able to bring him with me, which is why I am now on a mission to find him new owners to continue on the adventures!

* Lithium batteries tend to last around 300 cycles, a lot longer than Lead Acid batteries.
You can use near the full capacity of the battery without damaging it, leave it below 100% capacity while storing it without damaging, it, and it delivers power more consistently than Lead Acid batteries do.
Other advantages include being lighter, performing better in higher temperatures, and more flexible in terms of battery installation. In other words, it won’t leak as Lead Acid batteries may do.
Lithium batteries are more expensive in their upstart cost, but are much better value for money in the long run.
Like the rest of the build, decisions have been made to ensure longevity of all electric components.
