The van is brilliant, super comfortable bed and plenty of space inside. Loved the big fridge, and loads of storage for bags. The van is self contained, and means you get cheaper, and better located pitches on sites (closer to beach) as no plug in required - the van batteries charge as you go, and from solar panels. Its automatic, with powerful engine, which makes driving the many hairpin bends simple and easy allowing you to enjoy the views. Rob is a fantastic - friendly and loads of good advice and help. Pickup and drop-off very quick and efficient.

THE perfect campervan for an outdoor NZ experience. Has got everything you need for freedom camping and exploring the amazing nature of Aotearoa. Rob was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Definitely do recommend for adventurous travellers.

We had an amazing holiday with Dubby. Rob was extremely helpful even making modifications to the van prior to our arrival. We were there for Coast to Coast and the van was perfect for transporting gear (kayak and bike) and providing a comfortable place to sleep. Its self sufficient so you dont need to book campsites with electrical hookup. The pop top is a great feature providing a sense of space and separation at night.

we had a great trip with Big Dubby, drove very well, and felt like it had all the things we needed, we loved the awning for when it rained, and the battery had no issue charging between solar and the driving we did around the south island for 15 days. we were a bit unlucky and had a flat tyre on the first night but a full proper spare was provided and worked great once we got to a bigger town the owner Rob had arranged a new tyre and had it waiting for us, so we could continue to have a good spare on our trip. Excellent communication, a very well-designed van, and a nice firm bed.

Fantastic campervan for our 10 day trip around the South Island. Was easy to drive and had everything we needed. Rob was really helpful and responsive before and during our trip. Would definitely book again! Thanks again Rob!

We had an amazing experience with Big Dubby during our South Island trip. The van was incredibly easy to drive, and the cruise control made long drives much less exhausting. Big Dubby came fully equipped with everything we needed, and the pull-out drawer was especially convenient for preparing and cooking meals every night. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, ensuring we were well-rested for our adventures. Rob was fantastic to deal withcommunication was seamless, and both the pickup and drop-off process were super easy. Big Dubby was reliable, comfortable, and made our trip truly enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone planning a road trip!

Rob's van is well designed, comfortable and really easy to drive. The tent opening up at the top adds loads of space to cook and chill out, the bed is tricky to get into but it works really well and is comfortable. The fact that it closes is great for driving. Rob is great to communicate with and we really enjoyed the whole experience - 10/10 would recommend!
