At minimum, it\u2019s best to hire a <a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/self-contained-campervans\/\">\u201cself-contained\u201d vehicle<\/a> so you can enjoy the fun and flexibility of <a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/being-a-responsible-vanlifer-and-freedom-camper\/\">freedom camping<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ve compiled a list of the main considerations for choosing the best campervan to hire. Once you&#8217;re clear on your must-haves and what you\u2019re willing to compromise on, it\u2019s far easier to compare each campervan and the pros and cons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/DSCF2744-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/DSCF2744-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/DSCF2744-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/DSCF2744-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/DSCF2744-1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/DSCF2744-1-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/DSCF2744-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/DSCF2744-1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 300px, (max-width: 770px) 600px, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Owners of <a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/campervan\/334308\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fred<\/a> Jess and Kaj enjoying a cosy night in<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The bed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The big decision here is fixed or convertible? A fixed bed generally means greater comfort because it\u2019s likely to have a proper mattress (like <a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/campervan\/208854\/?wb-currency=AUS\">Barbara<\/a>). It also means less faffing, assembling and dismantling the bed. However, what you gain in comfort and convenience, you tend to lose in living\/dining space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think about how much time you might spend in the van but not in bed. In warm and dry weather, perhaps you\u2019ll spend most of your living\/dining time outside so don&#8217;t need a large seating area inside. If you&#8217;re travelling through winter or just prefer the option of dining inside, maybe you&#8217;d prefer a comfy and spacious seating area (like <a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/campervan\/203903\/?wb-currency=AUS\">Bertie<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another aspect to consider is bed size\u2026 there is no standard. Widths and lengths can vary dramatically, as can the definition of a \u201cdouble\u201d bed! Find out the measurements and consider how cosy you will be and how a taller person will cope. A good rule of thumb for two people is a minimum of 120cm (about 4\u2019) wide, and the minimum length being the height of the tallest person travelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"669\" src=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/barbara-hi-res-quirky-caravans-7752-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/barbara-hi-res-quirky-caravans-7752-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/barbara-hi-res-quirky-caravans-7752-1-768x502.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/barbara-hi-res-quirky-caravans-7752-1-240x157.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/barbara-hi-res-quirky-caravans-7752-1-600x392.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/barbara-hi-res-quirky-caravans-7752-1-92x60.jpg 92w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/barbara-hi-res-quirky-caravans-7752-1-138x90.jpg 138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 300px, (max-width: 770px) 600px, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/campervan\/150328\/?\">Barbara<\/a>&#8216;s fixed bed is 173cm x 200cm<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped aligncenter wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"28825\" src=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0064-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0064-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0064-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0064-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0064-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0064-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0064-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0064-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0064-90x60.jpg 90w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0064-135x90.jpg 135w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 300px, (max-width: 770px) 600px, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/campervan\/231580\/?wb-currency=AUS\">Cliff<\/a>&#8216;s convertible bed is 155cm x 185cm<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0084-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28826\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0084-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0084-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0084-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0084-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0084-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0084-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0084-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0084-90x60.jpg 90w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Quirky-CLIFFF-0084-135x90.jpg 135w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 300px, (max-width: 770px) 600px, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cooking<\/strong> facilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In smaller campervans, it\u2019s common for cooking facilities to be accessed from the rear door (like <a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/campervan\/148665\/?wb-currency=AUS\">Morrison<\/a>). It\u2019s a great use of space and the cover provided by the rear door gives you some protection from the elements. But you might decide that the ability to cook inside is a must-have, especially if you\u2019ll be travelling in cooler times of the year. Of course, some campers offer the best of both worlds \u2013 with the ability to use\/move the stove inside and out or being equipped with a stove inside and a BBQ outside.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mo-8-1-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mo-8-1-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mo-8-1-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mo-8-1-144x180.jpg 144w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mo-8-1-600x750.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mo-8-1-48x60.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mo-8-1-72x90.jpg 72w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mo-8-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 300px, (max-width: 770px) 600px, 819px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/campervan\/148665\/?wb-currency=AUS\">Morrison<\/a>&#8216;s slide-out kitchen<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Toilet and shower<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ah, the debate over whether to hire a campervan with a fixed toilet and shower cubicle or not! If you ran a poll \u2013 and many people have \u2013 an overwhelming majority of people say (with hindsight) that they didn\u2019t use the shower much, if at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are so many easy-to-find (and more enjoyable!) options to take showers on the road\u2026 at campsites, recreation centres or an outdoor shower (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/campervan\/132713\/?\">Barbara<\/a> even has an ensuite shower tent!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All self-contained campervans have a toilet so you\u2019re then making a choice between a fixed toilet in a cubicle vs. a portable, pull-out-and-use-anywhere-that-works version. Yep, a portable toilet can be a lot less private but you could just ask your fellow traveller(s) to hop out while you hop on, so to speak! What you lose in privacy, you&#8217;ll gain in living space or extra storage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like showers, most people find that public toilets are very accessible so they tend to use those more. Even freedom camping spots often have a proper toilet. And let\u2019s face it, emptying and cleaning a toilet is not up there on the list of fun things to do on holiday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How long do you need to be off-grid for?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While self-containment allows you to freedom camp, it doesn\u2019t necessarily mean the van has the power set up to go off-grid indefinitely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is one of the less talked about topics when it comes to campervans \u2013 and doesn\u2019t trouble everyone as many people will mix-up freedom camping with time in campsites (if only for the nice showers!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s useful to enquire whether the van can sustain itself (this could include equipment like the fridge, lights, water pump or 230V plug sockets). Does it have a way to continuously top-up the power available (usually through a solar panel and second battery) so you don\u2019t <em>have<\/em> to plug-in at a campsite? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obviously this doesn\u2019t apply so much if your choice of van doesn\u2019t have power-hungry features to maintain but has a basic chilly bin (rather than a fridge) and battery-operated lights.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/zs3ujllxtyozifooahwq-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31071\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/zs3ujllxtyozifooahwq-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/zs3ujllxtyozifooahwq-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/zs3ujllxtyozifooahwq-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/zs3ujllxtyozifooahwq-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/zs3ujllxtyozifooahwq-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/zs3ujllxtyozifooahwq.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 300px, (max-width: 770px) 600px, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/campervan\/349742\/?wb-currency=AUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Selma&#8217;s<\/a> set-up is super low maintenance<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Storage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next up, let\u2019s talk storage. You know if you\u2019re a pragmatic light-packer\u2026 or an I\u2019ll-pack-everything-just-in-case type! It\u2019s fair to say that most of us overpack so it pays to be really honest with yourself and pack only what you <em>know <\/em>you\u2019ll use. But if it\u2019s a long trip \u2013 or one full of activities that require a wide range of clothing and equipment \u2013 look for great storage with areas accessible from inside and out. Typically, vans with fixed beds have more storage (the space underneath) and some have a roof-rack and\/or bike rack you can take advantage of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Internal and external height<\/strong>s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re talking about whether (the majority of people) can stand up inside the van or not\u2026 and how much notice you need to take of the external height when driving around!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s great to be able to stand up while cooking or getting dressed but it also might be something you\u2019re willing to compromise on (and therefore save a few bucks). Internal heights \u2013 from van floor to ceiling \u2013 tend to vary from about 1.1m (3\u20197\u201d) to 1.8m (5\u201911\u201d) so it\u2019s worth noting that a very tall person is unlikely to be able to stand up fully, even in a high roofed van. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For external height, you probably don\u2019t need to worry about getting into carparks while driving a compact, standard roofed van (like <a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/campervan\/148665\/?\">Morrison<\/a>) but to be on the safe side always take note of your van height (including chimney, loaded roof rack etc.) and watch out for height restriction signs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped aligncenter wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" data-id=\"19198\" src=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Morrison-Height-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Morrison-Height-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Morrison-Height-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Morrison-Height-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Morrison-Height-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Morrison-Height-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Morrison-Height-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Morrison-Height-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Morrison-Height-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Morrison-Height.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 300px, (max-width: 770px) 600px, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/campervan\/148665\/?\">Morrison<\/a> has an internal height of 1.2m and external height of 2.1m<\/em><br><br><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Bertie-_-Quirky-Campers-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\"><br><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/campervan\/203903\/?wb-currency=AUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bertie<\/a> is higher inside at 1.85m (enough for most people to stand up in) and the external height is 2.85m.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Transmission<\/strong> &#8211; manual or automatic?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A quick, sensible word on transmission type (automatic or manual). A campervan trip in New Zealand \u2013 especially if you\u2019ll be driving on the other\/&#8221;wrong&#8221; side of the road \u2013 is not the time to convince yourself that you\u2019ll be fine driving a manual (stick shift) if you typically drive an automatic. Stick to what you know! Also consider your confidence, skill and experience in driving larger vehicles.
