Mistress Faraway

This is a lovely light-filled motorhome chosen for the useable interior space and comfort it offers. She sleeps 6 adults and can be driven on a car license. There is a front and rear lounge with seatbelts for 4 in the front lounge and seatbelts for 3 in the back lounge. The two lounge tables makes for a great option when travelling, as it is more sociable using the front lounge when driving, but it is also useful to have the option for some to travel at the back (especially true with kids). Having 2 lounges also means you can have a lounge table when two of the beds are in use. There is a large double bed (1.4 m wide) in the luton (the bit above the driver), where we have had 3 kids sleeping at times. The luton provides a lot of space to put bags and bedding during the day. The rear lounge turns into a double bed (1.4 m wide) and the front lounge a double bed (1.3 m wide). The rear lounge has a satellite TV and DVD player. The kitchen has a microwave, small fridge/freezer, grill, 3 burner stove with rangehood and sink. There is gas heating and gas hot water. There is also an air conditioning unit (when connected to the mains supply) A 2KW inverter is installed which means you can use the jug, toaster, TV, microwave etc on battery power. It is an easy walk through from the back of the camper to the cab. There is a privacy screen in the middle of the camper that can be pulled across for privacy between the front and back of the cabin. One issue with camper life can be the lack of storage. This camper has 4 outside storage lockers, and inside storage in 2 overhead lockers, a shelf unit, and more storage under the front lounge seats. We have also fitted shelves with clear plastic boxes as extra storage space that makes on-board life easier (as in addition to more storage space, that is easy to get, at you can see where things are). This vehicle is certified as fully self contained (a self containment certificate is required to use many freedom camping areas around the country). It is built on a van-based Volkswagen LT46 with a 2.5ltr turbo diesel engine & 5-speed manual transmission. It is a 2006 model (reconditioned and refurbished). Airport/ferry terminal pickup's and drop off are available. If required we can provide a bike rack (no charge) that carries 4 bikes, It has a max load of 45kg (which is 4 non e-bikes or 1-2 e-bikes). Outside there is a large roll-out awning for shelter, including a side awning for shelter and privacy. An outside ground mat is included to help keep the camper and camping area dry and clean. Camp chairs and camping table are also included, and a 2 burner gas cooker and grill if you prefer to cook outside (we have found this more practical than a BBQ for cooking outside - and campground BBQs are often available when needed anyway). A portable single burner camping stove is also included to provide an extra burner - we have often found this useful when cooking outside or in. If you are planning a long trip, it is worth joining the New Zealand Motor Caravan Association https://www.nzmca.org.nz/. They have some good discounts (especially useful on the Bluebridge Ferry), and also provide some great campsites extremely cheaply. The vehicle has 2 secure mount points (isofix latch connectors) in the front lounge (in the 2 forward facing seats) for securing child car seats.
