Hey! thank you for the info! I have a question maybe you can help me. If I bought an SUV and I have all the requirements that you have said, the certification will apply for SUV? thanks!
There are natural springs along the roadsides. Be friendly and courteous everywhere you go, talk with the locals... they'll tell you of any places. I'm kiwi. 😉
Thanks a lot for all your information!! :), is very very good to know all this things before travelling to New Zealand. Hope to see you one day in your amazing country. Me and my girlfriend will be travelling with WHV. Greetings from Acapulco, Mexico.
Thank yo so much for the kind words Gaby ;) We have more videos about Freedom Camping coming up real soon so don't forget to subscribe! When will you guys be in New Zealand?
You guys are the best. Nevertheless here comes a little critic/sugestion: Everybody only talk about dumping, but what about refill the water? As the clean water dont Just refill by itself, i think that would be helpful a video showing how the refill is made, and how dificult/easy to find a refill station and the costs of it.
Haha good question, you can see us struggle with that on this video -> th-cam.com/video/Ab0GNtaemzQ/w-d-xo.html you can refill much easier than emptying tanks and you can do so at pretty much any water hose :)
There are several natural springs on the roadsides - usually signpostEd.. and if in Petone, Wellington go to town centre and there is a huge natural spring where everyone goes regularly for freshest sweetest water.
Of course! All of them! :) Not yet, for now watching prices and different options of flight ( to south/ north island, matching with best price of campervan etc. ) Hope to book it around June.
Sweet! You seem to have a great plan! We have some more campervan related video coming up soon so that should be helpful to you as well. In the meantime you're stuck with our activities videos to help with the itinerary part ;)
Hallo. My husband and I plan to travel nz on september. Thank you for your videos. Really help us to plan our vacation. I’m looking information about charging campervan. Could we charging our campervan at freedom camping area? Is it possible not to charge campervan for 7 day traveling?
Great question Ester! We'll be taking it during our live video on Sunday 8am NZ time (it will be Saturday where you are ;) ) Join us then or watch the replay :)
As far as we understand the law, a shower is not mandatory to get a self contained sticker. Check out more info here -> www.backpackerguide.nz/how-to-get-your-campervan-certified-self-contained/
The fines are illegal. The council just throwing their weight around. There are those who will pay the fine & those that will challenge them. They bully who they can.
Thanks for the honest feedback Mike :) We have multiple pictures and much more info available in the articles linked in the description. This should be super useful to you :)

Q: During your travels, did you ever see any non self contained freedom campers get freedom camping fines? LOL
Yes, it does happen quite regularly especially around Queenstown.
The fines are illegal. The council just throwing their weight around. There are those who will pay the fine & those that will challenge them. They bully who they can.
@@simplyrise5217 Not according to freedom camping bylaws they're not illegal.
Not a single picture of a self contained van , NO HELP AT ALL REALLY
Thanks for the honest feedback Mike :) We have multiple pictures and much more info available in the articles linked in the description. This should be super useful to you :)
