We rented a Hi-top camper van from Camperco for 11 weeks and all I can say is "Wow".

We had an awesome time and the campervan was perfect for us.

We picked up the campervan in Christchurch and spent 7 weeks on South Island and then another 4 weeks on the North Island. The time on the south was just right - it allowed us to go everywhere we wanted (which was everywhere from the Caitlin's to Abel Tasman and both coasta) without rushing and keeping driving to a min. The north was similar in that we covered the island except for the cyclone damaged Napier/Hawks Bay area.

The van itself was just perfect for our needs. The fridge was larger than expected. The solar panel works so well that we had no problem not plugging in for days at a time (lots of sun from late-January to mid-April). We often did not put away the bed and used the table and chairs for hanging out. This is key - some people we met with other types of campervans could not use their kitchen without putting away the bed first.

The lack of a shower was really not an issue for us. We did stay at holiday parks every few days to shower, do laundry, etc.. And the van has a toilet but we found that even most "freedom" campgrounds have toilet facilities.

Camperco were responsive whenever we reached out. We did get a rock wedged into a wheel (made a terrible noise) and Ross found us a mechanic and took care of it.

We are still basking in the memories of this 3 month trip. We would absolutely have done the same places, same time split between south and north islands, same camper van and certainly would have chosen Camperco again.
