Great home on the road drove well very cosy and slept well every single night! Only issue was our microwave died, we needed a new car Battery and our water pump had problems but we were compensated so much appreciated.
The long wheel base VW was an excellent vehicle to drive and also not to bad on fuel usage, the cooking facilities were very good as was the bed which was very comfortable, looking back now we realise that having a toilet and shower were not necessary as we booked into a top 10 camp site every evening and the showers and cooking available at these sites was top notch, plus when you are travelling around N.Z. there is an ample supply of public toilets to use instead, plus I am a 6 foot 1 inch man weighing 17 stone so it would be like me trying to have a shower in a wardrobe, we had some slight problems with the van and had to stop at Invercargill where the sliding door kept jamming open, and the passenger grab rail came away from the bulk head above the passenger front door completly, then in Te anau we were parked up at noon and were enjoying a cuppa when it started to rain heavily and water came pouring in through the left rear window like a mini waterfall so we found the service agent whos diagnosis was that the drain hole in the rubber surround on the window was blocked with green mould, so he used a high pressure hose to clean it out and dry it with compressed air
The van was very good, well maintained, a little thirsty on the fuel but otherwise very ggod.
Drove and operated smoothly. Was very suitable for our needs. Contained every thing required. Was clean and tidy.
We were very impressed with the vehicle, and had a great holiday in it. We reported a couple of small issues when we returned it to the depot and these were taken note of in a professional manner.
This was our first time in a campervan, the facilities were more than adequat for two people, we enjoyed our holiday very much
The van ran very nicely, was easy to drive, excellent fuel economy. The equipment was very adequate and more than we expected. Overall we were very happy with the vehicle.
vehicle ok mechanical wise though i did have to repair a door handle that broke. overalli was not impressed with the warmth of the bedding provided and spent several sleepless nights freezing. it was totally inadequate for the climate.
House battery did not work properly - simply would not take a charge, which left us very exposed in the middle of no-where the first night and significantly limited our camping location options for the whole trip.
We had some troubles with aninferior pre travel check.Ive discussed this fully with the chch airport manager and Im more thansatisfied with the way he handled the situation
The vehicle was reliable and economical to run but the presentation left a lot to be desired.
