Can't offer any experiences, nor reviews sorry. I would check all the fine print about possible road exclusions, single vehicle accident insurance wording etc etc. One of the above sites T's & C's 'Exclusions' for recovery states 'Nominated Vehicles not on public or formed roads, or...

HA! Good times! A well used truck. As it should be. It's got to be (very) satisfying to drive/use a vehicle that you took from dream/plan/design, to build, to now eight years on the road! Very cool. Solar looks great. More better for more use!

Hey Yves, Great to see your rig get some R&M. Must mean it's getting used! So eight years on the road? How many k's have you done now, and do you have a rough count of nights spent in residence? I guess after that many years using it your systems are pretty well sorted! Any other changes coming up?

Got to start somewhere eh! Great looking Mog. What sort of box you thinking about? I vote hard sided pop up.

Sharp looking setup Runt! How's the summer treating you so far?

Fantastic photo's! I've read a bit about that area. Another place on the wish list! Have fun.

Have a great trip!

Great to 'see' you again! Trust you are both well and things are going ok.

Looks great Matt!

Looks great Coyote! I may have to steal a couple of ideas. I've been (silently) watching along. Couple of quick questions. The lifters you are using (if I'm interpreting properly) give spring assisted lift right? How do you get on 'pulling' the roof back down again? A matter of getting the...

Lots of options out there. I don't know anything about the comparison website in the first link. Jucy is pretty big down here. Maui/Britz as well. I don't know how the dollars work out for renting one in each Island vs having just one camper and bringing it across the Straight with you. I guess...

Gene, Neda, congratulations! Well done. It's a tough job but you two have shown stickability when it counted! Roll on next year. Bring on the scheming and plotting!

Looking sharp Runt! Where about's are you working this winter? Have a great Christmas.

Just talked to NZMCA (they who make the self containment rules) and no, Wagbag type toilets are't acceptable. Would need to be a porti potti sort of a deal. The local vehicle cert guy says if you are on a visitors visa/Carnet deal modifications 'should' be ok. Four inch lift is stretching it...
