Additional information

I have up loaded a couple of pictures of a similar layout to the photos to give you an idea. Barry has a slightly different design as his bathroom is bigger with a separate shower. With the bathroom being bigger, it takes away on of the seating positions on the right. Hope this makes sense…

    Big Barry was the perfect companion for our New Zealand adventure! Spacious, comfortable, and fully equipped, it made exploring the South Island a breeze. With a cozy bed, well-stocked kitchen, and easy-to-drive setup, we felt right at home no matter where we parked. Big Barry handled everything from winding mountain roads to serene beachside campsites with ease. On top of that, communication with the owners was seamlessthey were friendly, responsive, and made the whole experience stress-free. If you're planning a road trip in New Zealand, Big Barry is the way to go!

Hi, Ross & Katherine love their pride and joy Barry White. We have chosen to share our camper with you because we love what the South Island has and think it's worth sharing. Please treat our camper as though it was your own, with care and respect. Happy trails...
