Self Contained

Our Vans are fully Self Contained Certified under new regulations. Meaning you are allowed to use it for freedom camping if you want.

What is Self Contained Certification?
Rules created by NZ Government that a vehicle must comply with in order to go camping not only in designated areas or campsites but pretty much anywhere (unless there is a sign that explicitly says it is not allowed).

What is freedom camping in NZ?
When you go camping on public land, on a site with minimal or no facilities such as toilets or showers.

General rules to observe in all cases are:

Take notice of the signs.
Always be responsible with your waste.
Carry in, carry out. Leave no trace.
