Clifford is the big red van you have been looking for. Clifford is the ideal companion for an unforgettable New Zealand adventure. With its low-kilometre 2019 build and efficient diesel engine sipping only about 10 litres per 100 kilometres, you'll enjoy long, carefree days on the road. Inside, the spacious three-berth layout offers comfort and convenience, with plenty of standing room (190cm+) while full self-containment (green sticker) opens the door to New Zealand’s renowned freedom-camping spots—quiet lakesides, windswept coastlines, and forest-fringed clearings where you can settle in with no rush to be anywhere else. Whether you’re winding through alpine passes, exploring remote peninsulas, or waking up to sunrise over a hidden bay, Clifford will make your journey smooth, cosy, and full of the kind of memories that only come from travelling your own way. Clifford is equipped with a double element induction hob, an air frier, an electric kettle, a coffee moka pot, two camping chairs and a camping table, and an 85 litre fridge with freezer. There is a fixed toilet under the main bench, and a retractable wooden table that can be used inside the van on rainy days.

Clifford the big red van is AMAZING! John and his wife have thought of everything, plenty of cooking tools and utensils, thoughtful touches (right down to some chilled water and chocolate in the fridge). The van has an induction hob, and plenty of power to run devices, air fryer and induction without any issues - we probably only used about 10% power in the evening and the huge solar panel charged the battery back to 100% before we had even pulled ourselves from the bed. Highly recommend.
