No, it's not the winding roads through New Zealand's fantastic gorges. It's not driving on the left so much -- although that has been known to catch some folk out. The word of warning about campervan travel in NZ is more about our sheep population: "Parking for the night in a pitch-black location will almost certainly result in the floor of the campervan being iced delicately with a fine film of sheep feces. And it stains. "The above quote is from from an article published at www.cafeabroad.com, from a traveller who toured New Zealand in a campervan along with five companions. It's a great read, so do check it out. here's how it starts:
"I’m surprised that I survived New Zealand. Seriously. Between learning to drive a malfunctioning campervan on the left side of windy, mountain roads, jumping out of a plane at 12,000 feet, spelunking in underground rivers, and climbing the world’s steepest commercial glacier, I wasn’t just flirting with death; death had bought me a drink and was asking for my number."Sounds exciting huh?

I have been General Manager of Motorhome Republic, the operators of this website, for 4 years and with the company for 6 years starting as a Sales / Account Manager. Previous roles have included account manager and software architect for a web design firm, advertising sales across multiple media and television production. I’ve been lucky enough to go Motorhoming several times in Canada, USA and New Zealand so far and grew up going on caravanning holidays with Mum and Dad. The value and freedom Motorhoming offers are its two main drawcards for me. That and the envy on the other campers’ faces when you pull into a State Park campground with no hook ups in a 31’ Class C with double slide outs, on board generator, side awning, exterior entertainment unit and smoker unit for a 10kg salmon caught earlier that day.
I have been in the Motorhome industry for the best part of 6 years and with Motorhomes Republic for the last 18 months. I previously worked for the largest Motorhome rental company in the world as the New Zealand Sales Account Manager. I’ve traveled the length and width of New Zealand in many different categories of Motorhomes, in fact I don’t think there is a main state highway I haven’t driven. The love I have for Motorhomes is one of freedom and flexibility, doing what I want when I want. If I have a hankering for a cup of coffee in a beautiful scenic spot simply stop boil and enjoy….
