Jack's take

This family-sized motorhome comfortably sleeps up to six and gives you the freedom of a self-contained camper with a proper kitchen, bathroom, and plenty of living space. The amount of indoor living space makes a huge difference on longer trips — when the weather turns bad, you can sit, eat, and relax inside without feeling cramped, something families quickly appreciate.

The full kitchen means you can prepare proper meals, and the shower and toilet eliminate the planning required with smaller campers. Storage is generous, so everyone can bring what they need without bags constantly getting in the way, though we recommend soft luggage. After a week on the road, it still feels like a functional living space rather than just a vehicle.

You trade the manoeuvrability of a smaller van for all the comforts of home. You'll need to be more mindful when parking, navigating smaller towns, or driving narrow roads compared to a compact campervan. This vehicle is also manual transmission, so make sure your driver is comfortable with that.

It's good for first-timers, particularly families, as long as the driver is comfortable with a manual vehicle of this size. While it's larger than a standard campervan, it's designed for touring and handles well for its size. New drivers should simply allow extra time to get comfortable with the vehicle's dimensions before heading into busy areas.

Before leaving the depot, have a staff member show you how to operate the shower, toilet, gas system, and waste tanks. Spending ten minutes learning the systems can save confusion at your first campsite. Also check the vehicle for any existing damage before departing. This vehicle is certified self-contained, giving you maximum flexibility when exploring New Zealand.
