Airstream. Claimed statistic from their website - over 70% of all caravans (trailers) they've made in the past 80 years are still on the road. A 19' 2012 model is US$55,000, which with freight and GST might leave some change out of $100,000.

Be prepared to need to change/modify or upgrade electrical and gas fittings that the caravans come with as they often do not comply with NZ requirements. Even if the brands of appliances are the same as available in NZ, the models are often different and can be difficult/expensive or impossible to modify. The NZ suppliers of the appliances seldom carry spares for models not sold in NZ. This comes as a surprise to a number of people who have imported English caravans. Australian caravans are not generally affected as NZ and Aus standards are the same for many of these items.
