If you choose Freedom Campers/TUI Campers despite the bad reviews, please do not be surprised if you get an old, leaky camper.
Where it after two days of heavy rain, the water pushes through the roof. We woke up to water drops falling from the ceiling of the camper. On this we immediately called the site in Christchurch. The phone calls we have made , have given the feeling that this problem is already known. We were not helped further. Replacing the camper would not ensure that this problem would not occur in the other camper, as all vehicles are very old. They said "the water would be pushed in by the wind through the vents in the roof".
I made videos it was all wet inside the roof which is covered with fils except to the vents which were dry. We had to use paper towels to suck as much as we could out of the ceiling. As the drips on the ceiling were increasing.
After further phone calls, with John the specialist for vehicles, it literally said. I have also traveled and such things happen, that is part of life. That was then too much! We had to buy a large tarp and expanders to secure it. We had to wrap the camper every evening, like a present and that for almost 4 weeks. We could not enjoy the feeling of vacation through this. In the interior, there was no more daylight due to the covering of the film and when cooking, the fumes from the food could only partially escape through the open sliding door. Of course, this did not make the situation any better and the mold that developed due to the high humidity in the camper got worse. In strong winds, the metal rakes were repeatedly banged on the window at night. So we could not sleep through this either. So we had to sleep in a moldy camper for 3 weeks, covering it every night and unpacking it every morning. We developed a cough due to these circumstances, the sinuses were also permanently closed. My advice at this point rather spend a little more money and save yourself the hassle and hassle. I can’t recommend it!
