Every campervan that leaves our Auckland yard is certified self-contained under NZ's Freedom Camping standards — meaning you can legally freedom-camp anywhere self-contained camping is allowed. Here's what that actually means and why it matters.
A self-contained certified vehicle can carry the water, waste and toilet facilities needed to support the occupants for a minimum of three days without external services. It's a legal certification (blue sticker in the window) issued after inspection to the NZS 5465 standard.
Freedom camping saves you thousands over a long trip and opens up NZ's best spots — coastal reserves, DOC campsites and roadside stops that ban non-self-contained vans. Buying a van that's already certified means one less thing to sort out before you hit the road.
Every van below carries a current NZ self-containment certificate. Pick the size that matches how you plan to travel.
Compact, easy-to-park vans that are kind on fuel. Great for solo travellers, couples and city driving.
Pop-tops and mid-size builds — extra headroom and room for 2–3 without losing an easy-to-drive footprint.
Full hi-top builds with a proper kitchen, bed and storage — our most comfortable long-trip vans.
