Four people can enjoy excitement, adventure and all the comforts of home when travelling around New Zealand in this campervan. The vehicle features a permanent double bed over the driver's cabin, and large queen size bed that converts from the dining area. The vehicle offers many quality features including fridge, gas heater, gas stove, microwave, pressurized hot and cold water, shower and toilet. The living equipment is all on board as well, with crockery, cutlery, duvets, linen, towels, pillows and more all provided. A CD/radio in the driver's cabin and heating throughout add to the enjoyment. It's a great way to see the real New Zealand.

“We liked our camper van very much. It's not a new one so a few things might be fixed, as the dump tube, and the indikator for fraisch and dirty water. We loved our 9 Days in the van and it took us 2500 km without any problems. Thank you for good support.”

“It was just what we expected. An old, basic motorhome with a good motor-engine. A bit more cutterly would have been fine, but all together we were happy with everything. Thank you.”

“It was a high cost for a very old vehicle 1998. On booking it said that the vehicle would be over 6 years old so I expected that it would be still reasonably modern. The vehicle we had was 16 years old. Although it had no mechanical problems the noise and vibration were extreme, this made it not very enjoyable to actually drive it anywhere for long. There were also no real safety features on the vehicle such as airbags and poor seating for kids (even with child seats). ”
