We hope you enjoyed this video - drop a comment and let us know! This is one of 20+ episodes in this Reveal NZ campervan series around New Zealand, you can watch the others here - ruclips.net/p/PLUDuSYCnVh-SUQbCofbEFYbNaaZrfdipU
I had the pleasure of living in your amazing country for almost two years back in 2015/2017 and had a blast travelling. Decided to go again and bring my boyfriend with me this time. About two years ago I started watching this series as a prep for my own NZ trip. Now, as we're gonna fly to NZ next week and begin our 7-week trip, I started to watch your series again and honestly want to thank you guys for the great inspiration and ideas I got from seeing you guys making your way through the country. Can't wait for next week!!
Our hearts ❤️😭 Aww that makes us SO SO SO SO happy!! Not long now, safe travels!! Reach out to us on Instagram if you need any other local advice while you're here!!
Love you guys so much and maybe you can do another camper road trip around 🇳🇿 again soon!! I can’t believe that you guys really replied! I wasn’t expecting anything but thanks anyway!! 😉😁
How I just discovered you, I will never know, but New Zealand is my bucket list dream vacation! I live in Oregon, USA. Thank you for this series, I am so excited to get started!
Welcome! We've got 2 full campervan series around NZ that you might like (Season 1 & 2 we called them) along with a bunch of other more recent NZ vids. Enjoy!
This is one of the reasons why I love your channel. Did you really think you would pick up a truck that you have zero experience with and just drive off into the sunset? Priceless! I love you guy's. Most RUclipsrs would have left the pick up madness out. Your so real. Thank you.😊
YES...Just found your site ! Im a kiwi and just love my passion of motorhomeing ! Ive owned the big ones but have now down sized to a much smaller Toyota Hiace 2.4 ltr petrol model with a real high roof,ex maui campervan.Has all the comforts of the bigger ones and there's a bed up top as well.I love driving it and parking is easy.Layout is simple,with main bed at the back & kitchen up front.We do most of the cooking outside on a fold out table.There is a porta poti under the kitchen sink,that we dont use because we use clean council toilets and our showers are at public hot pools or outside showers at beaches.Our Camper is certified self contained and I belong to NZMCA ! Love responsible freedom Camping here in our NZ.
Started seeing your videos very recently and I am addicted.The places you visit,the must do's,the information you guys share.We have also travelled through both Islands in a campervan ,and it's really nostalgic to see the places again through your eyes
We had our own Huge Camper Van in the USA. Our second one was the charm. We took our young family to Quebec, CA for the summer, to Florida, Disney world and Sanibel Island for the winter and to Charleston South Carolina for the spring. Al worked for Intel and got 4 weeks of vacation every year. We always traveled with the latest technology, cell phones, fax machines, CB Radios and hand held cell phones that looked like a Tissue Box. Our three boys grew up with us camper van traveling and finally, our 4th child, an adopted daughter was brought on board at age 3 days to join our family. Great memories all.
I know I said this last night but I am honestly so buzzing even watching this, definitely be adding a few things to my bucket list after these road trip vlogs! X
Loved the video guys. Cant wait to watch the next episodes. I can feel the excitement in your eyes. You both look very cute together. May you live long together.
Dont forget to check out the "Burt Monroe SPECIAL" in Invercargill! Its in a hardware store! Also, I enjoyed Dunedin quite a bit as well as the penguins!
We're looking forward to following you along on your camper trip. NZ's our favourite! We''ve just returned from our first motorhome trip around the highlands of Scotland. Living out of the camper was so much fun...although emptying the loo cartridge was a whole different kind of fun which I'm sure you found out too! lol...
This is the biggest rental vehicle in NZ which would be around the size of the smallest possible in the States. Though it’s perfect for NZ roads, you wouldn’t want any bigger.
We've never thought about renting a camper van before, but after looking at your setup we're intrigued about the idea! Looking forward to seeing it out on the open road! 😀
As ex-Europcar staf, i know why they do that, and it is a normal check up, so you won't get any complaints after or unexpected problems :) It is for your own safety guys :) I was glad they made such good job, knowing others rent companies.... Cannot wait for the next episode :)
New subscriber here! I discovered you guys through The Endless Adventure. I've watched your Thailand vlogs so far and I am hooked! I love that you guys are so chill. Love your narratives. Can't wait to binge watch all of your vlogs around the world! Excited to see you guys doing a campervan trip as well! Cheers and safe travels! 🚙🛣
Such an informative episode for anyone wanting to hire a motor home for the first time, regardless of where in the world they are. Thanks for the tour :-)
Great content guys, super polished narrative and your series trailer was knockout 👍! Your instagram posts looked amazing so looking forward to the journey...
I love this so much! I’m so excited for all of the episodes! 🥰🥰 also you kinda made me laugh, I’ve just passed my blue light driving course and the ambulances are huge and I was like you at the beginning while driving 😂😂 you get so used to it though that when you drive your car you’re like 🤔 hmm 😂
Hello from Austria - I have been bing watching most of your travel vlogs recently and I loved it. Your videos really give a great insight to the places and activities. Super excited for this new series on NZ! Cheers and safe travels ;-)
That is so cool! Me and my boyfriend were planning to move to new zealand soon . We are just working some stuff and well take a vacation there first as my partner has been to nz before but I havent yet. Seeing lots of videos about nz travel...i felt so in love and looking forward to go there next year. Thanks Daneger and Stacy for making videos . I have seen most of your videos and enjoyed it! U guys take care of your travels
Awesome!! very excited for you two,I'm sure you're having a fantastic time! Looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful country, actually next year I was planning an RV trip through Scotland for two weeks ish . Also towards the end of next year I was planning a New Zealand trip ,but now it could be an RV trip their. Cheers from America🇺🇸🇺🇸
Amazing the funny this is last night we had game with friends,and the game is ,if you get kicked out of Indonesia which country that you would choose and one of the guy said new Zeland 😅.and yes he describe if just like your holiday on this video
Hi, we did south island in 2015 and north island in 2018. Your vid is great and making us want to go back again! We got the Juicy campervan a little smaller but still super fun. Mayby we'll go big like you guys next time! weather looks great, what month did you go? Stu & Ania (Chicago;)
Hey guys...just wanted to say thanks for the travel insurance recommendations. I'll be heading out for some long-term travel next week and found Safety Wing to be very reasonable, even for someone considerably older than you two lol. Keep up the good work and maybe I'll see you out there!!
Great collection of videos on NZ. Planning on a 3 week campervan trip of the South Island. Would be great to get some inputs on campervan booking? Anyway we can exchange messages?
weather been not great in,Auckland lately...i been home watching Supernatural....be cool if you did a meet and greet in Auckland before you leave properly again
Hi from Perth Australia again lol hope you both are well I have not yet had the chance to say this but my sister in law is from Hamilton north island and she tells me it’s a beautiful place too see. I must say I really look forward to seeing all the north island when we can fly over to NZ And your video today so cool Can’t wait for tomorrow Ps my name is Ben and I to have a RUclips channel it’s The Schofield adventures) not as cool as you guys but I do what I can lol Look forward to seeing your next adventure
Big sale on Maui at the time fortunately, as we mentioned though, lots of other great options. No cost to charge, it's part of your fee for the camp grounds
I reckon it will be episode 3 where you don’t quite fully put the handbrake down and the horn goes off scaring everyone in the gas station/campsite/most embarrassing place possible. 😆 Speaking from experience.
Daneger and Stacey it sucks right? I’ve taken about 10 trips and done it every single time. Usually once per trip is enough but I think my record is 3 times in a day. That first time feeling when you hope it’s just really loud inside the vehicle before spotting the looks from everybody around you and knowing that “nope, it is indeed the horn going off!”

Me and my family did exactly the same trip (from Auckland to the most southern point) in the same campervan back in 2016-17!
How cool! Hope you loved it as much as we did
Love you guys so much and maybe you can do another camper road trip around 🇳🇿 again soon!! I can’t believe that you guys really replied! I wasn’t expecting anything but thanks anyway!! 😉😁

This New Zealand roadtrip looks like so much fun!
Thanks team
Wow, this deserves so many more views! Super awesome video :D
We completely agree 😋 Appreciate you saying that!
Such a great thorough tour of your campervan! Gives us campervan newbies a really insightful look! Can't wait to see the next 18/19 vlogs!
It's fun to share along as we struggle our way through this!
Looks like a great camper! Hope you remember all the stuff that you have to do. Look forward to your adventures and misadventures. Lots of luck!
We feel like pilots, trying to remember our pre-flight checklist
This is one of the reasons why I love your channel. Did you really think you would pick up a truck that you have zero experience with and just drive off into the sunset? Priceless! I love you guy's. Most RUclipsrs would have left the pick up madness out. Your so real. Thank you.😊
So soooo true, we totally agree. We're pleased you appreciate the reality of it!
awesome... started to get itchy feet myself just watching, great reason to come back home for a visit..
Definitely!! Kiwi summer is the perfect time to come back!
So fun seeing the excitement, nerves and unfamiliarity of the beginning! By then end you'll be pros!
Haha so true!
YES...Just found your site ! Im a kiwi and just love my passion of motorhomeing !

Sounds like you're living the absolute dream! Good on you for being a responsible freedom camper too.

Whoop! Seatbelts on guys!
Daneger and Stacey 😍🤣🤣

Hope you got a biiiig piece of paper for that list!
@@DaneAndStacey haha definitely need that lol
Totally looking forward to see how you do on this trip as I want to drive across my own country in an RV at some point. Thanks for sharing. :)
That's awesome, we hope you have an amazing (and safe) trip!
Loved the video guys. Cant wait to watch the next episodes. I can feel the excitement in your eyes. You both look very cute together. May you live long together.
Yay, haven't checked in with you guys for a while and now you're VanLife-ing, awesome! :) Looking forward to the series!
Yay - come along!
Camper van adventures are always the best! I’m a New Zealand RUclipsr too 🇳🇿
what is your channel ? ...i am from Auckland
Karen Doody just click on my name above or search chelsea satherley 😊
Great first part of the series. Love it. Nice caravan to.
Glad you are back with all your amazing adventures ♥️
Glad to be back!!
Really excited for this trip
Diesel heaters are VERY effective. You definitely will not be cold. Also, the griller is gas, so you don't need to be plugged in to power.
Just started binging on the series 😍😍😍😍😍
You make it sound like such a great adventure!
It was incredible! That first season/big trip was something we'll remember forever
YAY, So excited for the vlogs.
Why would anyone dislike this? ❤️
Can’t wait to see more of you guys journey
Dont forget to check out the "Burt Monroe SPECIAL" in Invercargill! Its in a hardware store! Also, I enjoyed Dunedin quite a bit as well as the penguins!
Ok, this is on my bucket list now. I would love to do your route.
Hope you do one day!
Camper looks great and am looking forward to watching this adventure 😊😊
Cant wait to see nz with these videos!
Love it! 😍 I have a fondness for Maui and now I will be able to visit New Zealand on Maui, who would have thought 😁
The perfect synergy :)
We're looking forward to following you along on your camper trip. NZ's our favourite! We''ve just returned from our first motorhome trip around the highlands of Scotland. Living out of the camper was so much fun...although emptying the loo cartridge was a whole different kind of fun which I'm sure you found out too! lol...
Oh the highlands would be an amazing place to motorhome around, we'd love to do that! Haha we know what you mean about the loo....
Very good....fantastic van. Great presentation thank you:)
Absolutely loved it. Can’t wait for new episodes. I’m sure that after this series New Zealand will be on my bucket list
Haha we're pretty positive it will as well. Let us know the point where you officially decide!
I just roadtripped through the states. Was very curious about renting something like this. Good to see what they look like inside!
This is the biggest rental vehicle in NZ which would be around the size of the smallest possible in the States. Though it’s perfect for NZ roads, you wouldn’t want any bigger.
Phil's correct below, this is as big as it gets. Not really a RV or full US motorhome style sadly
Daneger and Stacey still looks pretty cozy :)
Thanks for the tour and can't wait to see more of NZ
Always look forward to your travels, but this one has me really hooked!!! 👍👍
Aw thanks Rex! Happy to hear that!
We've never thought about renting a camper van before, but after looking at your setup we're intrigued about the idea!
Looking forward to seeing it out on the open road! 😀
It was our first time hiring a large on like this and we absolutely loved it!
Super excited to see you guys tour New Zealand!! Fully expecting to get a ton of ideas for our own someday trip to New Zealand!
Take notes! There's so many amazing things to do in NZ :)
@@DaneAndStacey oh, I am!
Love those beers👍👍👍
I'm honestly just way too excited for this! Can't wait to go on the same trip next year when boarders open again (still weird to say that)
Still so weird to think about huh!? Hopefully we can point out a few good spots for ya
Looks an amazing camper van. Can not wait to hear / watch all your adventures 😜🥰
Take care .
Found your vlogs during lockdown and they have kept my husband and I sane 😁 ! Can't wait for your new adventures to be shown. Sandra x
So nice to hear, thanks Sandra!
Woo hoo ye are on the road no turning back now
Have a great time and be safe 😘
Nothing else to say only another great video love from 🇮🇪💚🍀😘
❤️❤️❤️... (send us some Guiness!)
As ex-Europcar staf, i know why they do that, and it is a normal check up, so you won't get any complaints after or unexpected problems :) It is for your own safety guys :) I was glad they made such good job, knowing others rent companies.... Cannot wait for the next episode :)
Very true - totally worth it for them to spend a bit more time making sure it was all good! Nice to get a refund and lunch of course as well
Totally agree - good that they spent that extra time to get it sorted! A refund and lunch was a nice bonus too :)
Ah, so looking forward to this series!! Been eyeing up a campervan of my own 👀
Still following your journey....from Thailand.
We're happy to hear that! Thank you :)
New subscriber here! I discovered you guys through The Endless Adventure. I've watched your Thailand vlogs so far and I am hooked! I love that you guys are so chill. Love your narratives.

Pleased to hear, thanks Julian!
We have a holiday home at Coromandel so looking forward to your first adventure!
I’ve always yearned to visit New Zealand
I’d love to travel in a van like that at least once in my life.
Do it!
Daneger and Stacey I don’t have a job at the moment, so I can’t.
Such an informative episode for anyone wanting to hire a motor home for the first time, regardless of where in the world they are. Thanks for the tour :-)
Great content guys, super polished narrative and your series trailer was knockout 👍! Your instagram posts looked amazing so looking forward to the journey...
Too kind!
I love this so much! I’m so excited for all of the episodes! 🥰🥰 also you kinda made me laugh, I’ve just passed my blue light driving course and the ambulances are huge and I was like you at the beginning while driving 😂😂 you get so used to it though that when you drive your car you’re like 🤔 hmm 😂
Congrats, Zoe! That's so cool. Funny how it feels looking back a few weeks later and it just feels normal huh?
Hello from Austria - I have been bing watching most of your travel vlogs recently and I loved it. Your videos really give a great insight to the places and activities. Super excited for this new series on NZ! Cheers and safe travels ;-)
Thanks Mimi! Glad you're enjoying
So cool. Thank you so much.
I can't believe you named your camera after me! How sweet! 😉
Are you also small and able to fit in peoples pockets? The similarities are uncanny 🤣
That is so cool! Me and my boyfriend were planning to move to new zealand soon . We are just working some stuff and well take a vacation there first as my partner has been to nz before but I havent yet. Seeing lots of videos about nz travel...i felt so in love and looking forward to go there next year. Thanks Daneger and Stacy for making videos . I have seen most of your videos and enjoyed it!

You’re so cute Stacey “you’re so far away I miss you!” 🥰
❤️❤️🥰🥰
This is exciting!!
Nice series! I hope i will see NZ someday :)
Cool van. Lets go. Are we there yet. x
Dumping the black tank will be the highlight of your trip! 😜😄
💩🙅🏼♂️
Wow so cool😍🥰😇😇
FINALLY!!! 😍
a beautiful country.
Awesome!! very excited for you two,I'm sure you're having a fantastic time! Looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful country, actually next year I was planning an RV trip through Scotland for two weeks ish . Also towards the end of next year I was planning a New Zealand trip ,but now it could be an RV trip their. Cheers from America🇺🇸🇺🇸
You're picking 2 incredible destinations there, Stan! You likely already know how much we love Scotland also.
Really looking forward to the series!! We'll be doing the same thing next year in Australia if international travel is still a no go!
Ooooh we've got our eyes on that as well :)
Amazing the funny this is last night we had game with friends,and the game is ,if you get kicked out of Indonesia which country that you would choose and one of the guy said new Zeland 😅.and yes he describe if just like your holiday on this video
HAha so NZ won?
Hi, we did south island in 2015 and north island in 2018. Your vid is great and making us want to go back again! We got the Juicy campervan a little smaller but still super fun. Mayby we'll go big like you guys next time! weather looks great, what month did you go? Stu & Ania (Chicago;)
New subscriber here!
Looking forward to watching your travels, and will watch previous videos too 🇬🇧🙋
Welcome to the adventure! We're happy you found us :)
Hey guys...just wanted to say thanks for the travel insurance recommendations. I'll be heading out for some long-term travel next week and found Safety Wing to be very reasonable, even for someone considerably older than you two lol. Keep up the good work and maybe I'll see you out there!!
That's awesome to hear - glad we could help! Safe travels!
You guys are so cute!
Great video. Can a 24-inch suitcase fit in the back area?
I think so! There's loads of space but it varies from each van and company
Awesome!
I would love to see a cost break down like you have done for other countries but for van life! Maybe compared to your usual cost of living in NZ :)
Thanks for the suggestion, definitely something we'll think about doing :)
I love it😂
Would love to know the sizes of the suitcases that managed to fit below the seats, are they all carry-on size?
Great collection of videos on NZ. Planning on a 3 week campervan trip of the South Island. Would be great to get some inputs on campervan booking? Anyway we can exchange messages?
I just came across your series, as we are planning on traveling by campervan in 2024! What time of year were you traveling?
We're so excited for you! We travelled in July/August :)
Hope you got a manual
weather been not great in,Auckland lately...i been home watching Supernatural....be cool if you did a meet and greet in Auckland before you leave properly again
So cool😂❤
Oh! Campervan.
Cmon guys. You're not doing Hawkes Bay? Lol!
Haha sadly we can't cover everyones favourite places in 5 weeks but we'll make a trip in the summer don't you worry!
Hi from Perth Australia again lol hope you both are well
I have not yet had the chance to say this but my sister in law is from Hamilton north island and she tells me it’s a beautiful place too see.
I must say I really look forward to seeing all the north island when we can fly over to NZ
And your video today so cool
Can’t wait for tomorrow
Ps my name is Ben and I to have a RUclips channel it’s The Schofield adventures) not as cool as you guys but I do what I can lol
Look forward to seeing your next adventure
Cheers Ben - Hamilton has come a long way in the past few years. We're not stopping there on this trip, but maybe another time!
Why you chose Maui Campervan? And what is the cost to recharge the campervan electricity? Thanks guys, love all your vlog.
Big sale on Maui at the time fortunately, as we mentioned though, lots of other great options. No cost to charge, it's part of your fee for the camp grounds
Nice!
May I know how big is the suit case or luggage that could fit into storage? 26? 24?
How much did it all cost? For the hire
I reckon it will be episode 3 where you don’t quite fully put the handbrake down and the horn goes off scaring everyone in the gas station/campsite/most embarrassing place possible.
😆
Speaking from experience.
^^^ This. The most accurate comment we've ever got.. Man that's embarrassing!
Daneger and Stacey it sucks right? I’ve taken about 10 trips and done it every single time. Usually once per trip is enough but I think my record is 3 times in a day.
That first time feeling when you hope it’s just really loud inside the vehicle before spotting the looks from everybody around you and knowing that “nope, it is indeed the horn going off!”
Hi what month in winter did you go to the South Island?
July - August 2020 😁
So did you do the whole trip already
We have, yup. That helps us pull it all together the content in a new way 😀
