Big Red is self contained (with the new green sticker!), fully equipped for 1 to 3 people has everything you need for your next New Zealand adventure. RUCS (it's diesel) & Unlimited KMs included in the hire (it's diesel so cheap on fuel). Ideal for families, or couples wanting a bit more space, Big Red has a mid-high roof and can be set up to sleep up to 3. The back can either be set up with seating, or a super comfy queen size bed. There is a small single bed which can be set up for kids or left as seating (see measurements below). There are 3 seats in the front. The van has solar power with a deep cycle second battery, and a power inverter to power small devices so does not need to be plugged in anywhere and you won't run out of power. Lots of USB or 12v charging ports for all your devices and the fridge can be left on constantly. Please make sure to read through the information below for more details and a full list of everything we supply. Big Red can sleep 1-3 people. There is a Queen size bed in the back and 1 small single bed which can be left as seating if not required. The single bed is 65cm wide x 150cm long - please note this bed is ideal for children but pretty small for an adult. Inside there is plenty of cupboard space, 22L fridge, a sink, and a double burner camping cooker which pulls out of the back. Nice stuff we provide to make your roadie as enjoyable as possible: - Mattress topper - All bedding (duvets, sheets, pillows) & towels - Plenty of pillows, cushions & blankets - 12V electric blanket and hot water bottles for cold nights - Hammock - Double burner camping stove & gas bottle - Pans and pots - 22L Brass Monkey Fridge - Portable toilet - Solar Shower - Radio, CD player and bluetooth speaker - Cutlery, plates, bowls, mugs, glasses - Coffee percolator - Laundry powder, dishwashing liquid, soap, tea & coffee, cleaning products - Assorted charging cables - Blackout curtains - Camping chairs & table - Picnic Blanket Other good stuff: - Tinted windows for more privacy and to block out the sun - Big Red is a mid top so 160cm high inside - Certified Self contained - NEW green certificate.

Additional information

Big Red is a manual and diesel (so cheaper on fuel to drive around). I work in tourism and have toured around NZ and lived in camper vans for extensive amounts of time so I'm happy to help you out with suggestions or questions.

Hiring rules

  • The van must be returned with a FULL tank of diesel (as it is when I drop it off). If it is not refilled before you return it then I will add on the cost of filling it up.
  • No offroad driving
  • No beach driving (you will get stuck!)
  • The van and all equipment must be returned clean to the standard in which you collected the van (no need to do laundry though, I will do this after the hire).
  • The grey water tank must be returned empty.
  • The toilet must be returned empty and clean.
  • Any damage must be reported immediately.
  • EMERGENCY If any warning lights come on the dashboard, pull over immediately. If an accident occurs, get off the road, stay safe, call emergency services on 111 if required. Or call Camplify on +643 668 1211 and choose 4 for roadside assistance. Then call us.
  • A drop off and/or pickup in central Queenstown is included (I usually meet at the Boundary St car park).
  • Hirer must be 21 years of age or older.

    The holiday in Big Red was perfect. Communication with Danielle was straight forward and pick up and drop off was uncomplicated. There was everything we needed in the van! More than enough bedding was provided as well as towels and all the equipment needed for cooking. Big Red drove without any mechanical problems and we felt completely safe during our trip - I cant think of any negative points - we had the best time and wont hesitate in hiring again when we next visit NZ.

    This is quite an extensive review. I tried to communicate everything to the owner; however, due to limited time and my imperfect memory, not everything that is written here was discussed. Negatives: - Incorrect suspension alignment causing the vehicle to constantly pull to the right (while driving, you have to steer slightly to the left all the time). - It is stated that the caravan should not be used off-road; however, we had issues even when parking at a campsite in Te Anau. - Related to the two points above, the tyres should be replaced. - The indicators sometimes get stuck the indicator light on the dashboard stays on, but there is no clicking sound (not sure what is happening externally). - The vehicle sometimes locks the rear doors, and no amount of using the key or central locking seems to help (we were unable to open the rear and side door for one full day). - The rear doors sometimes open slightly by themselves. Nothing fell out, but rain could get inside. We had to check the rear door every time we stopped. - The seals on most doors could be serviced (or possibly replaced), as cold air could be felt coming into the caravan. - Fuel consumption is quite high, although this is understandable given the age and weight of the vehicle. - The sink was not working; we reported this during the rental and it should be fixed now. - The brakes feel weak and require a long stopping distance. Positives: - It was the cheapest option available (even compared to regular cars). - We completed our journey. - sheets were clean

    We had the absolute time of our lives in Big Red! There was plenty of room for our family of four - our two kids loved the bunks and really enjoyed traveling around and exploring in Big Red. We drove all around the South Island and didnt have a problem. The battery was fully charged by the solar, we didnt have to plug into power for the entire 11 day trip. Big Red was stocked with lots of essentials, we also added more for future bookings. The black out curtains made it easy to sleep and sleep in which was so helpful as our little ones like their rest. We dont have a bad word to say about Big Red. We were very sad to hand the keys back and will definitely be coming over to NZ and booking through Dani again. Thank you so much!! Ryan, Ash, Lux and Honey :)

    A poem for those considering big red: Our time in big red was a magnificent one, Beautiful views on our travels and lying in the sun. Big red contained all we could ask for, Facilities, bedding, meals and much more! Easy to drive, everything we needed, Advice from Danielle we sure heeded! Communication with Danielle was quick and very clear, Before we knew we were in big red and on our adventure we did steer! Thank you to Danielle and of course big red, These travels well remember in our times ahead!
