DriveNow's take: vehicle |  Julie's takeThe Lucky Rambler fits three people on a budget with everything onboard — two double beds, a kitchen, shower, toilet, hot water, and a fridge. You get the comfort of a motorhome without driving a huge vehicle around New Zealand. About Lucky RamblerJulie's takeThe Lucky Rambler is a solid pick for two or three people who want real comfort without spending big. You get two double beds, a kitchen, shower and toilet, hot water, and a fridge — all in a compact camper that's easy to drive and easy to park. After a week on the road it holds up well for two people. Three travellers will find it flexible but need to be smart about storage. Bring soft luggage — hard suitcases don't work here. If you're a couple, use the single bed area as daytime storage to keep the living space uncluttered. This is a first-timer-friendly vehicle. The size is manageable, the layout is straightforward, and the essentials are all there. One thing to know: the Rambler is a well-loved vehicle, not a new one. Expect some minor superficial wear and tear. Lucky does maintain their fleet properly, but if you want something fresh off the lot, this isn't that. For power, you can mix in some off-grid nights, but make sure you connect to a powered site every two or three nights to recharge the house battery. Plan your campground stops with that in mind and you won't have any issues. | Julie's take The Lucky Roadie is a solid choice if you want comfort without spending too much. It's fully self-contained, so you've got real freedom with where you can stay. About Lucky RoadieJulie's takeThe Roadie is a good fit for a couple or small family who want comfort without paying for more van than they need. What the specs don't show you is how roomy it actually feels inside — decent headroom, an indoor table, and a roof bed make it genuinely comfortable for three people on the road. Storage is fine for a small camper, but be realistic about what you pack. By day five, things will get cluttered if you're not disciplined about it. If you're travelling as a couple, use the single bed area as daytime storage — it keeps the living space a lot more liveable. One trade-off worth knowing upfront: it's a manual transmission. If you're not used to driving one, factor that in. The vehicle is also 3 metres tall, so first-timers should take a bit of extra care with gear changes and height restrictions. Because it's fully self-contained, you can mix in some off-grid stays — but don't string too many together. Connect to a powered site every second or third night to keep the house battery charged. | Julie's take The Lucky Roadie gives you comfort and self-contained freedom without a big price tag. It feels roomier than it looks — decent headroom, an indoor table, and a roof bed make it genuinely comfortable for two people on the road. About Lucky Roadie PlusJulie's takeThe Lucky Roadie is a solid pick if you want a bit of comfort without spending too much. It's self-contained, which gives you more freedom with where you stay — you're not locked into powered sites every night. It's rated for up to three people, but we'd recommend it for two. For a couple, it works really well. The interior feels roomy for its size — good headroom, an indoor table, and a roof bed. It doesn't feel cramped once you're set up. Storage is fine for a small camper, but by day five you'll notice it. Keep things tidy and travel light — that's not optional advice, it's how this van works best. If you're travelling as a couple, use the single bed area as daytime storage. It keeps the living space clear and makes a real difference. One thing to flag for first-timers: the Roadie is 3 metres tall. Watch for height restrictions and take gear changes steady until you're used to it. For overnight stays, you can mix in some off-grid nights — that's one of the benefits of being self-contained — but connect to a powered site every second or third night to keep the house battery topped up. | Julie's take The Lucky Rodeo is a budget-friendly campervan for two, with a double bed, gas cooker, fridge and cooking equipment. A solid pick for couples or backpackers who want to keep costs down on a classic New Zealand road trip. About Lucky RodeoJulie's takeThe Lucky Rodeo is built for budget-conscious travellers — couples or backpackers who want the basics covered without paying for space they won't use. You get a double bed, gas cooker, fridge and cooking equipment. Everything you need, nothing you don't. That said, it's worth being clear about what this vehicle is. It works best as a base for outdoor camping, not as a mobile living room. Storage is limited, and the living space is tight. By day five, you'll notice it. If bad weather hits, you'll be relying on campground facilities rather than retreating inside — there's just not enough room to wait out a rainy afternoon comfortably. If you want to spend a lot of time living inside the van, there are better options. First-timers who love being outdoors will do well here. First-timers who want a comfortable interior base, less so. Two things to know before you drive off. The Rodeo isn't self-contained, so you'll need to stay at holiday parks or campsites that allow non-self-contained vehicles — plan your stops accordingly. And the fridge only runs when the engine is on, so think about that when you're shopping for food and planning longer stops. | Julie's take The Lucky Rover is a solid budget pick for three or four people who want real space to live in — two beds, rear seating, a kitchen, gas cooker and fridge, so everyone has room to spread out. About Lucky RoverJulie's takeThe Lucky Rover is built for groups of three or four who want a bit more room without spending a lot. You get two separate sleeping areas, an inside table and proper rear seating — so during the day you can actually sit and relax rather than shuffling beds and gear around. For meals, there's a two-burner gas cooker and an 80-litre fridge. That's a proper setup for a week on the road. Storage is decent, but by day five you'll want to stay on top of it. Keep things organised from day one and you won't feel the pinch. If you're travelling as a couple rather than a full group, use the double rooftop bed area for daytime storage. It keeps the living space clear and makes the van feel a lot bigger. The honest trade-off: the Rover is well-loved rather than new. You can expect some wear and tear. Lucky does maintain their vehicles throughout their time in the fleet, but go in with realistic expectations and you'll be fine. For power, don't plan to free-camp every night. Connect to a powered site every second or third night to keep the house battery topped up — factor that into where you stay and it won't catch you out. |
DriveNow's take: supplier |  DriveNow expert's takeLucky Campers is a budget campervan supplier in New Zealand aimed squarely at backpackers. Expect an older, no-frills fleet, but real savings on fuel and no age restrictions on who can drive. About LuckyDriveNow expert's takeLucky Campers is built for the backpacker market. If you're after affordable pricing and don't mind an older van with a basic internal fit-out, this is a solid pick. Don't expect a shiny new fleet — the vans are a little worn, and that's the trade-off for the lower price. One thing they do better than most: an 8 cent per litre discount at Mobil stations across New Zealand. Just scan the barcode on your key tag at the pump. Over a few weeks of driving, that adds up. There's no age restriction with Lucky Campers, which sets them apart from a lot of suppliers. You just need a current, valid licence for the whole hire period. Probationary licences from Australia or New Zealand are fine. International digital licences aren't accepted, so bring the physical card. Pickup is straightforward — Lucky Campers run airport-to-depot transfers, so you're not stuck figuring out public transport with your bags after a long flight. If something goes wrong on the road, you're given a 24 hour roadside assistance number at pickup. Call that number and they'll sort you out. For vehicles, we point most people to the Lucky Roadie. It suits two people who want a bit of space without paying premium prices. It's self-contained too, so you can freedom camp some nights instead of paying for a powered site every stop. If you're doing both islands, book your ferry crossing early — summer sailings fill up fast. Also check your van is cleared for ferry travel before you commit to dates. One perk here: Bluebridge Ferry gives Lucky Camper customers a 10% discount, so it's worth booking direct with them once your dates are locked in. | DriveNow expert's take Lucky Campers is a budget campervan supplier in New Zealand aimed squarely at backpackers.

Sleeping capacity
How many people the vehicle sleeps. Where the supplier separates them, adult and child places are shown; a child berth isn't big enough for an adult. Seatbelts are a separate number, so check both for a group.
Bed layout
Where each bed is and what kind it is. Some beds stay made up, while others are made from the seating each night; Main bed setup shows which.
Bed sizes
Each bed's length × width in metres. Compare the length with the tallest person travelling, and the width with who is sharing.
The bed types in this comparison:
Upper and lower beds
Beds arranged one above the other inside the vehicle. The upper bed may have a weight limit, shown in the vehicle details where confirmed.
Double bed
One shared bed for two people. Compare the dimensions, as double beds differ in size between vehicles.
More in the handbook: Tips for a good night's sleep
A toilet and shower on board mean you can stay at basic or free campsites without amenities, and skip the night-time walk to a shared block. With a toilet only, you have the essentials; with neither, plan to stay where there are facilities.
An onboard toilet needs emptying at a dump point every few days.
More in the handbook: Emptying the toilet and waste tanks
The fridge's capacity in litres; a range means it depends on the vehicle you're given. A bigger fridge means fewer shopping stops, which matters most for families and on remote stretches.
How the fridge is powered when you're parked affects how long it keeps food cold away from a powered site.
More in the handbook: Using the fridge
Hot water makes showers and washing up easier, especially in cooler months. Without it, you'll heat water on the cooker for dishes.
Where shown, the energy source tells you what the hot water runs on.
Longer vehicles have more room inside but are harder to park in town and need a bigger campsite. A range means it depends on the vehicle you're given.
Ferry fares for campervans are usually charged by length.
More in the handbook: Ferry costs
Clean water for drinking, cooking and washing. A bigger tank means longer between refills, which matters at free campsites without taps. A range means it depends on the vehicle you're given.
How long it lasts depends on how you use it, especially for showers.
More in the handbook: Fresh water
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
How much standing room there is inside. Taller travellers will be more comfortable with more headroom; in low-roof campers most people can't stand upright.
What you can cook on inside the vehicle. The number of burners affects how much you can cook at once, which matters for a group.
Gas cooktops run from an LPG bottle that you refill or swap on the road.
More in the handbook: Using the gas bottle
Used water from the sink and shower collects in the grey-water tank. A bigger tank means fewer stops at a dump point, and some campsites don't let you drain it on the ground.
It's separate from the toilet, which has its own cassette or tank.
More in the handbook: Emptying the toilet and waste tanks
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Everyone travelling needs their own seatbelt, so this is the most people the vehicle can carry, even if it sleeps more. Some seats are in the living area rather than the cab.
More in the handbook: Will I need multiple vehicles?
How you can play music, connect a phone and watch a screen. A screen doesn't guarantee TV reception or DVD playback, and listed USB ports may not charge every device quickly.
Where it says some models, it isn't guaranteed in every vehicle of that model.
More in the handbook: Using the TV or screen
How wide the vehicle is affects narrow country roads, standard car parks and tight campsites. A range means it depends on the vehicle you're given.
Multi-storey car parks, drive-throughs and some bridges have height limits, so know your vehicle's height before you set off. A raised-roof height, where shown, applies when the roof is lifted while parked.
More in the handbook: Vehicle height awareness
Most rental campervans are automatic, and some older or budget models are manual. If you only drive automatics, make sure every vehicle you're considering is one.
The supplier's age range for this model. You're given one vehicle from within it, so Up to 2 years means it has been on the supplier's fleet for no more than about two years, 4+ years means at least four, and 4–7 years means between four and seven.
Newer vehicles generally show less wear and are more likely to have recent equipment. Older vehicles have usually covered more kilometres, which raises the chance of a breakdown. Older fleets are often the budget option, and a well-maintained older camper can still suit a trip.
Suppliers count age differently. Some count time on their fleet, others go by model year, so treat a one-year difference as approximate.
More in the handbook: How likely are breakdowns?
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Heating or air-conditioning for the living area with the engine off. Many units only run at a powered site, while some heaters run from gas or the house battery, so check what each one needs.
Cab air-conditioning only works while driving. Portable heaters or fans may be included or available to hire.
More in the handbook: Heating and cooling
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
A fixed bed stays made up, so you can rest at any time without rearranging. A bed made from the dinette or lounge gives you more living space by day, but takes a few minutes to set up each night and pack away each morning.
Some dinette beds can be left made up if you don't need the table.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
In many smaller campers the table becomes the bed, so once the bed is made there's nowhere inside to sit and eat. A separate table matters on rainy days, or when someone wants to sleep while others are still up.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
In a combined wet room the toilet sits inside the shower, so the whole room gets wet when you shower. A separate toilet and shower works more like home but takes more space.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
A table and chairs make it easy to eat and relax outside, which helps most in smaller campers. Some suppliers include them; others hire them out per trip, so check before comparing prices.
More in the handbook: Equipment you can hire
An outdoor or slide-out cooker keeps cooking smells and heat out of the living area, which helps in warm weather and in small campers. Many campsites also have shared barbecues.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Child seats need suitable seat positions and anchor points, and some positions only take a booster. The combination shown is what the supplier allows, so check it covers every child's age and size.
Child seats are usually hired from the supplier as an extra.
More in the handbook: Child seat hire
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
A reversing camera makes parking a large vehicle much easier, because you can't see directly behind most campers. Some models means only some vehicles in the fleet have one, so you may not get it.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
An outside locker keeps bulky or dirty gear, such as chairs, hoses or wet shoes, out of the living area. Space inside is limited, so soft bags pack more easily.
