In steps the A-List Plus, a late model Toyota Hiace that is a bit smaller than our Biggie, but has all the features you need for a trip around New Zealand. Our main goal was comfort, in bougie style, as well as the ability to cook indoors and run a heater off-grid, because New Zealand winters are no joke.
