DriveNow's take: vehicle | No take yet | No take yet |  Jack's takeA modern sleepervan with flexible sleeping for up to 4 people and solar power for off-grid camping. The bed layout converts between four singles or two singles plus a double. About Tui Campervans Bunkie SleepaJack's takeThis is a modern sleepervan built for freedom camping, with solar power and a flexible sleeping system that makes it work for families or friends. You can set up four single beds or combine them into two singles plus a large double — unusual flexibility for a sleepervan. The off-grid power setup means you're not constantly hunting for powered campsites. The solar panels charge while you drive and when parked, so you can stay off-grid longer than most vehicles. It's certified self-contained, making it one of the better options for extended freedom camping in New Zealand. The trade-off is space. This is still a sleepervan, so you get less headroom and living area than a motorhome or larger campervan. With 4 people, the dedicated living space helps, but it's tight. First-timers will be fine — the modern features like built-in navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto make getting around straightforward. Just get the depot staff to explain the solar and battery systems before you leave. Once you understand how it charges itself, you'll know how long you can stay off-grid and get the most out of the vehicle. Check the bed sizes before booking if you're travelling with 4 people — the flexibility is great, but you want to make sure everyone actually fits. | Jack's take Modern hybrid sleepervan that's easy to drive, certified self-contained, and perfect for couples wanting a simple and affordable vehicle to travel around New Zealand. Much easier than larger campervans for driving through windy roads or in towns and cities. About Tui Campervans Hybrid SleeperJack's takeThe Hybrid Sleeper is a modern hybrid sleepervan that's perfect for couples wanting a simple and affordable way to travel around New Zealand. It's much easier than larger campervans or motorhomes for driving through New Zealand's windy roads or navigating towns and cities. The automatic transmission, reversing camera and car-like driving experience make this an easy option for first-time travellers to handle. You get better fuel efficiency and easy driving, but remember this is still a sleepervan rather than a larger campervan or motorhome — most of your living happens outdoors or at your campsite rather than inside the vehicle. It's ideal for travellers who spend their days exploring and use the van as a comfortable base each evening. The vehicle is certified self-contained, so you can plan for some nights of off-grid camping during your trip. If you want a vehicle with toilet and shower facilities or indoor living space, there are better options. But for couples who prioritise easy driving and outdoor adventures over indoor comfort, this hybrid delivers exactly what you need. | Jack's take A smart middle ground between a campervan and a motorhome that seats five and sleeps up to four adults plus a child. Works best with 2-3 adults and gives families plenty of comfort without the size and cost of a full motorhome. About Tui Campervans Trai Finder 4+1Jack's takeThis vehicle hits the sweet spot for families who want more space than a standard campervan but don't need a full motorhome. It seats five and sleeps up to four adults plus a child, though it works best with 2-3 adults. The layout is genuinely family-friendly. The loft bed creates natural separation between sleeping areas, so everyone gets a bit of personal space on longer trips. The hi-top roof and clever use of space prevent the cabin from feeling cramped, even with several people travelling together. You get proper self-catering facilities — fridge, stove, microwave, and decent storage — so you can comfortably cook for an extended trip. By day five, families usually appreciate the vehicle more if they stay on top of keeping gear organised. The trade-off? You don't get the same space as a motorhome or proper toilet and shower facilities. While it's roomy for a campervan, larger groups still need to be mindful of shared living space during extended trips. This works well for first-timers. The automatic transmission removes one of the biggest challenges for overseas visitors, and the layout is intuitive and easy to learn. It's certified self-contained, giving you greater flexibility when choosing where to stay around New Zealand. Organise everyone's storage space before you leave the depot. Travel with soft luggage and unpack at the start of your trip — it makes life much easier once you're a few days in. | Jack's take A mid-range campervan that's perfect for couples or a couple travelling with one child. It drives more like a modern van than a traditional campervan while still offering a shower and toilet. About Tui Campervans Trail Adventurer 2+1Jack's takeThis is one of the smallest campervans you'll find with both a shower and toilet in their own cabin. Perfect for couples who want proper bathroom facilities without stepping up to a larger motorhome. It drives more like a modern van than a traditional campervan — automatic transmission makes it easy for first-timers. The double bed, efficient heating system, and modern interior make it feel more like a compact apartment after a week on the road. If you're travelling with one child, the extra bed works but the van will feel cramped. For two adults, it's comfortable with good storage. The trade-off? These are older vehicles — average build year is 2018 with interior fitouts from 2019. Not the newest fleet, but reliable. This van is certified self-contained, so you can freedom camp off-grid for a night or two. Before you leave the depot, get the team to show you the diesel heating and hot water systems — they're not complicated but worth understanding from the start. | No take yet | Jack's take A family-friendly motorhome with separate living and sleeping areas that feels more like a small apartment on wheels. You can leave the rear bed set up while still having a usable lounge area — a bigger advantage than most people realise. About Tui Campervans Trail ExplorerJack's takeThis is a family-friendly motorhome that feels more like a small apartment on wheels than a traditional campervan. The separate living and sleeping areas give everyone space to spread out, and you can leave the rear bed set up throughout your trip while still having a usable lounge area. That saves a surprising amount of time and hassle — especially on longer trips. By day five, you'll appreciate not having to constantly convert beds back into seating. The large beds, spacious kitchen, and separate living zones mean everyone can have their own space. Storage is generous enough that clothes, food, and travel gear all have a place. The trade-off? You get excellent comfort and living space, but you'll need to be more selective about parking and take extra care on narrow roads or in busy town centres compared to a smaller campervan. This works well for first-timers, especially families. The onboard facilities are straightforward. One consideration: you need to be comfortable driving a larger manual vehicle, particularly if you're used to smaller cars. There are automatic options that do the same things well if that's a concern. Take a few extra minutes at pickup to learn the vehicle's height and length, then keep those measurements handy during your trip. Most first-time motorhome drivers find parking and clearance awareness more important than the actual driving. Check the vehicle for any existing damage and ask staff any setup questions before you leave. | No take yet | Jack's take A practical self-contained camper that's perfect for couples, three friends, or a small family. It's easy to drive, has standing room inside, and offers a good balance between comfort, affordability, and flexibility. About Tui Campervans Trail Finder 2/3Jack's takeThis is a practical self-contained camper that hits the sweet spot for couples, three friends, or a small family. You get standing room inside — a real advantage over standard sleepervans when the weather turns bad and you're stuck indoors. For two adults, you'll be comfortable for a week-long trip. Add a third adult and it's still manageable thanks to the separate single bed, though things get tighter. This setup works best for two adults or two adults with a child. The automatic transmission and compact size make this one of the easier self-contained vehicles for first-timers to handle. The camper setup is simple, so you won't spend your first day wrestling with complicated systems. The trade-off? You're still in a compact campervan, not a full motorhome. Don't expect the spacious bathroom and living areas that larger vehicles offer. Also note there's no internal walk-through between the cab and living area — you'll need to step outside to move between sections. Being certified self-contained gives you real flexibility to freedom camp without needing powered sites or stepping up to a much larger motorhome. | Jack's take A two-berth camper that delivers some of the comforts of a full-sized motorhome without feeling oversized on the road. The king-size bed makes this feel like a hotel room on wheels rather than a typical campervan. About Tui Campervans Trail SeekerJack's takeThis two-berth camper delivers some of the comforts of a full-sized motorhome without feeling oversized on New Zealand's roads. The king-size bed is the standout feature — after a full day of driving and exploring, it makes this feel like a hotel room on wheels rather than a typical cramped campervan. The interior is designed around two people, so you don't feel like you're compromising on space during extended trips. You'll still need to reset the bed daily to use the living area, but multiple access points make it easy to enjoy outdoor living when weather permits. The layout is intuitive enough for first-time campervan users, provided they're comfortable with a manual transmission. The trade-offs are the vehicle's age and transmission. Average age is 2011-2014, which is older than many similar-sized options. The manual gearbox can make longer journeys around New Zealand's winding roads more tiring than an automatic would. Before you leave the depot, spend time learning how all the living-area systems work. This vehicle is comfortable enough that you'll actually want to spend time inside it, so understanding the power, heating, and kitchen setup will help you get the most from it. Check for existing damage and ask any setup questions before departing. | Jack's take 4x4 vehicle with a rooftop tent, perfect for off-grid camping in New Zealand but not certified self-contained. The rooftop tent changes the camping experience completely — feels very different from sleeping in a traditional campervan and is perfect for outdoors lovers. About Tui Campervans Wildtrak 4WD Bush RangerJack's takeThis is a 4x4 vehicle with a rooftop tent that's perfect for outdoors lovers who want to reach places most campers can't go. The rooftop tent changes the camping experience completely — it feels very different from sleeping in a traditional campervan but is surprisingly comfortable and quick to set up. The awning provides a practical kitchen setup, and storage is excellent for adventure gear. You gain incredible off-road capability and access to remote spots, but you give up indoor living space and weather protection. There's no enclosed living area, shower, or indoor comforts of a traditional motorhome. If you enjoy outdoor living, it's fantastic. If you want creature comforts, look elsewhere. This works for first-timers looking for an automatic 4x4 camper, but keep in mind you're somewhat limited for off-grid camping as it's not self-contained. Set up and pack down the rooftop tent once at the depot before you leave — it's genuinely quick and simple, but practice means you'll be confidently setting up camp in seconds on your first night. | Jack's take A modern 4WD expedition vehicle for travellers who want to get off the beaten track. It combines off-road capability, modern technology, and rooftop camping with the practicality of seating up to five people. About Tui Campervans XL Bush RangerJack's takeThis is a modern 4WD expedition vehicle for travellers who want to get off the beaten track. It combines off-road capability, modern technology, and rooftop camping with seating for up to five people. The huge 140-litre fuel capacity gives you a big advantage over other campers — crucial for the remote locations this vehicle excels in reaching. Living in this feels more like an adventure touring setup than a traditional campervan. The rooftop tent is comfortable, quick to deploy, and weatherproof. If you enjoy being outside, you'll love it. But you're trading traditional camper comforts for access to remote locations and genuine 4WD capability. You don't get an indoor lounge, full kitchen area, or bathroom facilities like you'd find in a motorhome. This works for first-timers if they're comfortable with camping. But if you're looking for a standard campervan trip or aren't comfortable with outdoor camping, there are better options. Before heading off-road, spend time with the depot team learning how the 4WD system operates and when to use the different drive modes. |
DriveNow's take: supplier |  Julie's takeTui Campervans is a family-owned New Zealand operator with a solid range of self-contained campers at competitive prices. Good value if you don't mind a fleet that mixes older and newer vehicles. About Tui CampervansJulie's takeTui Campervans is a well-established, family-owned New Zealand operator. They run a good range of self-contained campers at generally competitive prices. We'd call them a good-value, practical option rather than a premium experience — the fleet ranges from 2008 to 2023, so the vehicle you get can vary a lot in age and condition. If having a newer camper matters to you, check the specific vehicle details before you book. Branches sit close to Auckland and Christchurch Airports. Pickup and drop-off from Queenstown, Dunedin, Wellington and Nelson Airports, Picton Ferry Terminal and Greymouth Train Station can be arranged too — just sort it out in advance, as there's a relocation fee involved. Arriving late? You can pre-arrange a $100 after-hours or contactless pickup so you're not stuck waiting. On pickup day, Tui gives you a free transfer to and from the airport or nearby airport hotels and motels. A staff member walks you through the van in person and makes sure you know how everything works before you drive off — useful if you're new to campervanning. If something goes wrong on the road, call the number printed on your rental contract. Tui Campers Reservations also has a toll-free line — 0800 324 939 — for backup. Tui suits budget-conscious travellers who want a practical, self-contained camper and don't need the newest vehicle on the road. Couples, friends and families who care more about good inclusions and friendly service than a brand-new interior will get on well here. First pick from the fleet: the Trail Adventurer 2+1. It's a solid all-rounder for a couple or small family — proper shower and toilet, decent off-grid capability, and compact enough to drive without stress. One thing to plan around: if your trip crosses both islands, book your Interislander or Bluebridge ferry well ahead in summer, and confirm your Tui vehicle is cleared for ferry travel before you lock in your dates. | Julie's take Tui Campervans is a family-owned New Zealand operator with a solid range of self-contained campers at competitive prices.

If something goes wrong on the road, call the number printed on your rental contract. Tui Campers Reservations also has a toll-free line — 0800 324 939 — for backup. Tui suits budget-conscious travellers who want a practical, self-contained camper and don't need the newest vehicle on the road. Couples, friends and families who care more about good inclusions and friendly service than a brand-new interior will get on well here. First pick from the fleet: the Trail Adventurer 2+1. It's a solid all-rounder for a couple or small family — proper shower and toilet, decent off-grid capability, and compact enough to drive without stress. One thing to plan around: if your trip crosses both islands, book your Interislander or Bluebridge ferry well ahead in summer, and confirm your Tui vehicle is cleared for ferry travel before you lock in your dates. | Julie's take Tui Campervans is a family-owned New Zealand operator with a solid range of self-contained campers at competitive prices. Good value if you don't mind a fleet that mixes older and newer vehicles. About Tui CampervansJulie's takeTui Campervans is a well-established, family-owned New Zealand operator. They run a good range of self-contained campers at generally competitive prices. We'd call them a good-value, practical option rather than a premium experience — the fleet ranges from 2008 to 2023, so the vehicle you get can vary a lot in age and condition. If having a newer camper matters to you, check the specific vehicle details before you book. Branches sit close to Auckland and Christchurch Airports. Pickup and drop-off from Queenstown, Dunedin, Wellington and Nelson Airports, Picton Ferry Terminal and Greymouth Train Station can be arranged too — just sort it out in advance, as there's a relocation fee involved.

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.
Roof-tent bed
A sleeping area in a tent on the roof, opened when parked. The way you set it up and reach it depends on the vehicle.
Double bed
One shared bed for two people. Compare the dimensions, as double beds differ in size between vehicles.
Single bed
A separate bed for one person. Some are child berths; check the sleeping capacity and dimensions in the table.
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
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
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
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.
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.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
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.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
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
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
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?
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.
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
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
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.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
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
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
With a walk-through you can move between the cab and the living area without getting out, which is handy in rain or at night. Without one, you step outside to get from one to the other.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
A microwave that needs mains power only works at a powered site, not when you're free camping.
More in the handbook: What works when connected to power
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
A solar panel tops up the house battery during the day, which helps run the lights and fridge away from a powered site. How much it adds depends on the panel, the weather and how much power you use.
More in the handbook: Battery and solar
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
How the vehicle is powered when parked. At a powered site everything runs; off-grid, the house battery and any solar run the lights, fridge and charging.
Not every appliance works from every source: air-conditioning and microwaves usually need mains power.
More in the handbook: What works off-grid
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Cab air-conditioning or heating makes long drives more comfortable. It runs with the engine, so it doesn't cool or heat the living area when you're parked; see Heating & cooling when parked.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
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.
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
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
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.
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.
