    I confirm all your tips. Between 1993 and 2003 I was six times by camper van in NZ. Every journey 30 hours flight from Europe but it was it worth. NZ is the best country living in a camper van. I'm dreaming always of NZ but I'm to old for the long trip. Thanks for the video.

    Was remarkably hard to find a simple overview of what it's like to Van Life in New Zealand. Thank you for making this video! As an American I needed to know what it's like compared to USA and I think this video did a pretty good job of that 😁

    I bring always like a 3 in 1 jacket (winterjacket, inlet to get out and rainjacket all in one), trousers with zippers at the legs, to have long and short ones in one and t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, different sizes, so I can wear them over each other as warmer layer or separate to have a cooler layer

    Great tips all in all! I used to solo trip across great places like Iceland and Germany in a camper van but had to set my other plans aside during COVID. I'm planning a long South Island trip in a couple of months and your list brought back memories prepping for my adventures back then. Scared but excited; thanks for the tips - especially about laundry and bug repellent.

    Am sure most people use a toilet but unfortunately in Auckland a freedom camper defecated right outside our houses outside their vans in a built up suburb on two occasions. Toilets need to be mandatory in camper vans or use paid facilities with toilets.

      What are you talking about, freedome camping is still allowed in New Zealand. Many councils are making it harder for you to do so. For example, in Tauranga they limit the Freedom Camping spots in each car park at local parks. So yeah, its no longer a free for all where you can park up anywhere and camp, but you still can find places.

    • @AnnSmith-u9c
      @AnnSmith-u9c 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Why type of comment to make. One thing you are wrong, some councils have tightened up the rules and have limited the availability but not illegal. Also what’s with the “ you people comment “ ? Like who are you?
