Motorhome
Travel in New Zealand.
Motor
caravanning provides not only a means of transport but accommodation
too. The philosophy behind this form of travel is freedom. Movanners
are able to stop off wherever interest is piqued by local attractions
without the hassle of advance booking and rigid scheduling. For
many, this is the ultimate recreational lifestyle to explore the
‘real’ New Zealand, at their leisure, enjoying everything
each stay has to offer.
Unlike other methods of touring,
motor caravans afford you privacy, the opportunity to take pets,
and to visit friends and family without the requisite of ‘home
invasion’. They allow room for you to travel with your friends
or family with sizeable recreational equipment, while still in
comfort. Motor caravans also give the less mobile, older or handicapped
individuals, the ability to spend time in camping areas otherwise
inaccessible to them. |

Places
to Stay in Your Motorhome in New Zealand
Throughout
New Zealand you will find a wide choice of holiday parks.
While you are likely to stay in a campgrounds for the majority
of your holiday, we find that many people like to stay in
a hotel close to where they pick up their motorhome from on
the first night they arrive in New Zealand. This particularly
makes sense after a long flight so you are refreshed and not
driving while you are tired or jet-lagged..

Our aims are to travel
our country enjoying all the beautiful places that New Zealand
has to offer. To promote the self propelled caravan movement
by improving the conditions for motorhoming throughout New
Zealand. With
more than 30,000 members, and over 17,098 vehicles ranging

campervans, there are members the length and breadth of
New Zealand.
The
majority of our members' motorhomes are used for recreational
purposes during the holidays or on the weekends. There are
a few who choose to use their motor caravans for permanent
living. While many of these have 'normal' jobs, others are
on the road, often working in orchards or market gardens
during harvest time.
