This budget-friendly sleepervan gives you the basics for a New Zealand road trip without breaking the bank. The automatic transmission and compact size make it dead easy to drive, even if you've never been behind the wheel of a campervan before.
The bed is generously sized for a sleepervan and comfortable for most couples, but here's the trade-off: it takes up most of the living space. You'll spend more time outdoors or in common areas than hanging out inside the van, especially if the weather turns bad. There's no standing room and very limited indoor space for extended hanging around.
Cooking is basic with the single-burner portable setup, so stick to simple meals. Storage is adequate for backpackers, but after a few days you'll want to stay organised or things start to feel cluttered. The straightforward setup means there's not much to learn before hitting the road — perfect for first-time campervan travellers.
This vehicle isn't certified self-contained, so you'll need holiday parks, campgrounds, or facilities where toilets and waste services are available. It's best suited to travellers planning to spend most of their time exploring rather than living inside the van.
Do a quick practice run of setting up the bed before leaving the depot. It only takes a few minutes and makes your first night much smoother.
