    We had a great time with Big Chung! Lots of space inside, comfortable and spacious bed and well-equipped kitchen with a good fridge with freezer. The 5 solar panels on top ensured we never needed a powered site even though we sometimes used quite some electricity. Never had any issues with parking or finding camping spots even though it's quite a long van. Van heats up quickly with the diesel heater and cools down quickly with windows open and fan on. All in all couldn't wish for anything more and very happy we went with this option instead of a smaller or expensive van from a commercial company. Christopher is a great guy, handovers were super smooth and he was very helpful!

    Big Chung was big fun ! Chris was great at communicating and provided us with the best tool(Big Chung) to have a very comfortable, fun and safe trip around the South Island. Van is very well equipped and lots of power for the big hills. Bed is really comfortable and van is surprisingly warm and soundproof thanks to its wool insulation. Lots of storage space and kitchen has everything you need with good size fridge that even kept our ice cream frozen:)

    Was even better than we expected, so much room in there with pretty much unlimited power! Everything was so comfortable really felt like we were living in luxury ! Having a proper size fridge was such a bonus was great for storing all our food and the cooker worked great too. The hammocks were such a delight on the side of the van, absolutely perfect sitting up on a lake over looking the mountains. Drove all the around the South Island with ease and never had any problems with it. Chris was a pleasure to deal with, Im glad we chose this instead of just getting a standard little van! Trip of a life time !

    Weve just came back from our first adventure as a family, and t was an absolutely delightful family escapade. The van's spacious interior accommodated our lively crew with ease. I only wish the boys could sleep the whole night, so we couldve enjoyed a bit more the amazing mattress. The solar-powered setup ensured we didnt have to be plugged in to make coffee or prepare our meals (the kitchen is stunning and super functional). Thanks Chris, Olivia and The Big Chung, you guys provided a memorable and comfortable family getaway. We returned home with full hearts, happy memories, and a dog who was contentedly snoring.

    We had an amazing time from the very beginning. Chris is really nicely guy, very relaxed and explained everything, handover was smooth and easy. Camper is in a very good condition, everything was functional and we never run out of power due to solar system and batteries. Driving was comfortable. Cooking was super easy, everything basic is provided. The bed is super cosy and spacious. We made the best choice and can't recommend this enough! You'll love it :) thank you Chris, Jana and Jiri
