So why not embrace Kiwi culture and \u201cshe\u2019ll be right\u201d mentality, and embark on an adventure in our own backyard? Think campervans are only for summer? Think again. Here are our reasons and top tips campervanning in winter!<\/p>\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\/2023\/03\/DSCF2726-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSCF2726-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSCF2726-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSCF2726-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSCF2726-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSCF2726-2-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSCF2726-2-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSCF2726-2-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 300px, (max-width: 770px) 600px, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Netflix and no chill! <a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/campervan\/334308\/?wb-currency=AUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fred&#8217;s Roaring Meg fireplace<\/a> keeps things toasty year-round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Campervanning in winter is cheaper and quieter!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The daily rental cost of a campervan from June \u2013 October can be up to 70% cheaper than the peak summer months. Not only that, but it\u2019s quieter. Freedom camping spots are easier to find and there\u2019s less traffic on the road\u2026 this can make campervanning much more pleasurable! Of course, right now it\u2019s even quieter than usual due to our border closures and many businesses are struggling. So while you\u2019re saving money on the campervan hire cost, spend what you can on attractions and experiences or in shops and cafes when you\u2019re out and about to give our fellow New Zealanders a boost. It\u2019s the perfect time to discover the places you\u2019ve had on your bucket list \u2013 and it\u2019s also a great opportunity to take your pet! Many places, particularly beaches, have much fewer restrictions on dog access during the winter months. And guess what, most Quirky Campers are pet-friendly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Prepare for the winter weather<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Alfred Wainwright said &#8220;there&#8217;s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing&#8221;. Yes, it\u2019s unlikely there\u2019ll be wall-to-wall sunshine and temperatures will be down \u2013 especially as night \u2013 but on a winter getaway, you\u2019re already mentally prepared for this. Hands up who\u2019s had a summer vacation where it rained for days on end\u2026 that\u2019s when you feel really short-changed! In winter, expectations are low, and a beautiful, crisp, sunny day is a delight. Remember to pack clothing you can layer up, bring your waterproofs, sturdy footwear, hats, gloves and chunky socks. When you\u2019d rather not be out in the elements, look up indoor attractions \u2013 wineries, galleries, museums, escape rooms, leisure centres. And if you\u2019re staying put relax with a book, crack out the games, watch a downloaded movie or get cooking! Perhaps write some top tips of your own in the guest book!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped 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=\"768\" data-id=\"19609\" src=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/20200705_143339-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/20200705_143339-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/20200705_143339-scaled-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/20200705_143339-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/20200705_143339-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/20200705_143339-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/20200705_143339-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/20200705_143339-73x55.jpg 73w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/20200705_143339-240x180.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 300px, (max-width: 770px) 600px, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"19610\" src=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/20200705_143509-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/20200705_143509-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/20200705_143509-scaled-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/20200705_143509-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/20200705_143509-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/20200705_143509-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/20200705_143509-41x55.jpg 41w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/20200705_143509-135x180.jpg 135w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/20200705_143509-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 300px, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Heating<\/strong> your campervan + staying warm in winter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Layering up with clothes and blankets is one thing, but it\u2019s no fun if you can still see your own breath! Most campervans are insulated (it pays to check) but you can take your winter getaway to a whole new level if your campervan has heating. And we\u2019re not just talking about the hot-air blowers in the cab that work when the engine is running! Heating types can vary. The most effective and efficient are diesel and LPG heaters (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/campervan\/208854\/?\">Barbara<\/a>) \u2013 flick them on and your van is toasty warm within a few minutes. At the more dreamy, romantic, primal end are the log burners. Such a novelty to see a campervan with a chimney! They are lovely but do require a little more work to build a little fire and keep it topped up with wood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/barbara-hi-res-quirky-caravans-7946-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28877\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/barbara-hi-res-quirky-caravans-7946-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/barbara-hi-res-quirky-caravans-7946-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/barbara-hi-res-quirky-caravans-7946-1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/barbara-hi-res-quirky-caravans-7946-1-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/barbara-hi-res-quirky-caravans-7946-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/barbara-hi-res-quirky-caravans-7946-1-90x60.jpg 90w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/barbara-hi-res-quirky-caravans-7946-1-135x90.jpg 135w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 300px, (max-width: 770px) 600px, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/campervan\/208854\/?wb-currency=AUS\">Barbara<\/a>&#8216;s diesel heater can be switched on via the honeycomb control panel!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then there are portable electric heaters (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/campervan\/148665\/?\">Morrison<\/a>). Again, these will warm the space quickly and easily\u2026 if you can plug them in! Most run off 230V power so if your chosen van comes with one, check your options on when you can use it. Do you need to be plugged in at a campsite or can you use it anytime? Also remember to ventilate &#8211; it&#8217;s tempting to close all the windows and vents so you don\u2019t let the heat out. But you don&#8217;t want condensation so just crack one or two open. Our personal favourite way to stay warm is to take our four-legged heater! Did we mention that most Quirky Campers are pet-friendly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Drive carefully<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Winter can bring more hazardous conditions so try to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/how-to-choose-the-best-campervan-for-your-new-zealand-road-trip\/\">pick the most suitable van for your trip<\/a>&nbsp;in the first place. It\u2019s not the time to opt for a manual drive vehicle when you\u2019re most familiar with an automatic. You need to feel comfortable and confident with the size of your campervan so that you\u2019re not putting yourself or others in danger when manoeuvring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The roads in New Zealand can be twisty, hilly and narrow which will slow you down even more so remember to take your time and drive to the conditions. Check if you\u2019ll need snow chains for the places you plan to go to and find out if there are any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.journeys.nzta.govt.nz\/traffic\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">planned or unplanned road closures<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pick an area and stay a while<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we\u2019re advocating a campervan trip, it doesn\u2019t mean you need to clock up hundreds \u2013 or thousands! \u2013 of kilometres. Keeping your travelling distances down makes sense in winter when driving conditions can be more challenging. So why not pick a region to explore and stay relatively local. It\u2019s a great way to <em>really<\/em> see what an area has to offer. Before booking your van, why not do some research on local events (and if they are indoors even better!). Maybe a comedy or open-mic night, a concert, pub quiz or well-reviewed restaurant. And if you\u2019re staying in the area, ask the locals what\u2019s on over the coming days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped 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=\"768\" data-id=\"19613\" src=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG-20200626-WA0000-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG-20200626-WA0000-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG-20200626-WA0000-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG-20200626-WA0000-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG-20200626-WA0000-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG-20200626-WA0000-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG-20200626-WA0000-73x55.jpg 73w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG-20200626-WA0000-240x180.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG-20200626-WA0000.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 300px, (max-width: 770px) 600px, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"19614\" src=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG-20200626-WA0002-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG-20200626-WA0002-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG-20200626-WA0002-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG-20200626-WA0002-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG-20200626-WA0002-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG-20200626-WA0002-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG-20200626-WA0002-73x55.jpg 73w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG-20200626-WA0002-240x180.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www..com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG-20200626-WA0002.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 300px, (max-width: 770px) 600px, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Don\u2019t take risks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This could be said anytime but it\u2019s worth emphasising for winter trips. Just don\u2019t take risks. If you\u2019re thinking of doing a tramp\/walk, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doc.govt.nz\/parks-and-recreation\/things-to-do\/walking-and-tramping\/\">Department of Conservation information<\/a>. Take note of the estimated duration and difficulty rating. As they recommend: choose a track to match your skills, fitness and the experience you want. If you\u2019re driving and there are issues with visibility, road conditions or temperatures plummet and you\u2019re concerned about black ice, don\u2019t push on regardless. Be flexible and stay safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shake off the winter blues!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Seasonal_affective_disorder\">Seasonal Affective Disorder<\/a>&nbsp;is a real thing. &nbsp;Not helped by the fact that many of us in full-time jobs get up in the dark, go home in the dark \u2013 or in recent years, have stayed cooped up inside working from home! What does help is beautiful views and amazing scenery\u2026 and that\u2019s easily accessible here in New Zealand. Pack up the van on a Friday night, head off into the darkness, and wake up to a quiet stretch of beach, surrounded by native bush or with a view of snow-capped mountains. Get a brew and enjoy the sun on your face for a dose of Vitamin D! With all that is going on across the world, we\u2019re pretty darn lucky here in New Zealand.
