Additional information

🚙 Additional Information To tow Whare Waka Retreat, you’ll need a vehicle rated to tow up to 3.5 tonnes (braked). Please check your vehicle’s towing capacity before booking to ensure it’s suitable. This caravan uses a pin hitch system, so your vehicle will need the matching tow bar insert size so we can put the pin hitch onto the vehicle. We can help with details or photos of the setup before your pickup to make sure everything fits safely. If you’re unsure, just reach out — we’re happy to guide you through what’s needed so your trip starts smoothly and safely.
