Some bigger model Campervans and Motor homes (4 or 6 Berth vehicles) and most luxury Motor home versions have also inbuilt LCD TVs and DVD Players! What type of luggage to use? Most vehicles differ from year to year and from model to model. We suggest bringing soft collapsible luggage with you as this is more easily storable  - there is often extensive storage space available in 4 or 6 berth Campervans – but luggage space may be limited in smaller type vehicles. All of our vehicles differ from year to year and model-to-model, so storage in one vehicle can be very different to another.

Most 4 or 6 berth campervans and Motor homes in New Zealand have got 3 seats with seat belts in the drivers’ cabin.
