RV Tips & Articles
Before You Go: Motorhome & Caravan Trip Essentials
Dump stations are only one piece of the trip puzzle. Before you set out for your New Zealand trip, it's worth taking thirty minutes to check that the basics are in place — the four areas below are where unprepared travellers most often get stung.
Check your motorhome or caravan insurance
A dedicated motorhome, campervan or caravan policy covers the value, contents and on-site risks that standard car cover leaves out. If you're financing, comprehensive cover is usually required. Premiums vary by value, storage and travel, so compare specialist insurers before you set off.
Sort your roadside assistance
AA Roadservice and similar providers cover breakdowns, but check that your plan handles a heavy motorhome or a car-plus-caravan outfit. On quieter South Island routes recovery can be a long way off, so a plan with towing and remote cover is worth it. Make sure the whole outfit is covered, not just the tow vehicle.
Weigh up an extended warranty
Manufacturer warranties on new vans are shorter than many buyers expect, and repairs to appliances or the drivetrain can run into thousands once cover lapses. Price an extended mechanical warranty before the factory cover ends, and read what's covered — habitation vs drivetrain — before committing.
Budget for fuel, ferries and site fees
Fuel, the Cook Strait ferry and holiday-park fees are the big costs on a New Zealand trip. A fee-free travel or cashback card saves money, and NZMCA membership opens up low-cost and certified self-contained sites that cut your nightly spend. Self-containment certification also widens where you can legally freedom-camp.
