RV'ing in New Zealand

[rgreenb831]

My wife and I leave in 2 weeks for New Zealand where we will be renting a 24' 4-berth diesel campervan (motorhome). We plan on spending a month on each island. Other than driving on the left, are there important things we need to know about Rv'ing in NZ, what tools to bring, about holiday parks, purchasing groceries, frequency of gas stations, etc.?

It's a wonderful country for boondocking if that's your thing. We did 3 weeks in a Wilderness RV a few years ago and just loved it. If you are interested in wind the Napier area has lots of opportunities for tasting some great wines. Ditto the Marlborogh (sp?) area at the north end of the South Island. Most of the actual campgrounds we stayed in were pretty rudimentary but we're talking 5+ years ago so things might have changed.

We had booked a trip last year with Overseas Adventure Travel to NZ and Aust.which we had to cancel for a medical emerg. What I'm getting at , look at their website for NZ travel and look at customer reviews there will be a lot of info here although it was not a rvtrip.

Please take lots of notes and let us know EVERYTHING when you get back.

There are many people here who would like to go with you.

Have fun/be safe. :B
