'Ivan' is a luxury tiny home on wheels built in a decommissioned ambulance

Quirky Campers claims the Toyota HiAce model van is the usual backpackers' campervan choice.

However, instead of going with that chassis, the couple settled on a decommissioned Fiat ambulance that would give them the space for a luxury camper, according to Quirky Campers.

"Over the 10 years we've been here we've traveled extensively around the country in various ways, but our pick is campervanning," Leanne said in a statement.

Quirky Campers claims Ivan is a "true luxury bach on wheels," using a New Zealand term for a small weekend cottage.

Ivan was built on a 2006 Fiat Ducato.

The van is 6.2 meters, about 20.3 feet…

...and can sit and sleep two people.

The bench seats convert into a double bed.

Quirky Campers claims it's a “boutique hotel room on wheels.”

Ivan is self-contained, which means it can fully function without outside sources, such as an external water tank, according to Motorhome Republic.

Self-contained New Zealand campervans need to go through a certification process in order to be billed as such.

Ivan is a “modern twist on a classic wooden camper van interior,” according to its makers.

Raw-edged elm decorates the interior.

The kitchen includes a three-burner stove and gas oven.

It also has a small fridge and freezer.

There's also room for a magnetic spice rack.

The solar panel on the roof that provides energy to the battery.

Ivan also includes a portable toilet….

...and a wood-burner in between the kitchen and bed.

There’s also additional storage spaces and drawers throughout the campbulance.

Guests who are renting the van can also add a gas-heated portable outdoor shower and ensuite shower tent for an extra $35 each.
