Gimli (self contained)

Gimli (small, persistent and reliable) has proven of great value in our recent tour around the North Island. He has been converted into a self-contained camper for 2 persons, an additional 3rd person can sit in the back (with proper seatbelt). The small seating area can be converted into a large double sleeping area, with separate fold-away for easy access and toilet use. Additional storage space for easy camping is provided in a roof box, which is accessible through the "moon roof".

Gimli has a 25 L freshwater tank (hose provided for refill), chemical toilet (10 L capacity / waste holding tank), as well as a sink with 25 L greywater tank. For camping there is an awning, 2 camping chairs, chilli bin, pillows and bedding, (built-in) gas cooker, and basic kitchen stuff (cutlery, pot, pan, plates, cups, salt, pepper, olive oil, etc...).

Gimli has MDF-sheets to close all windows for more privacy at night, including windscreen and front windows. A car stereo with mp3 option and usb connection offers good music via radio or your electronic device. Two lonely planet travel guides (North & South Island) included, as well as some card games and a Domino. We can in addition rent out a fishing rod or boulder crash pad for a fee of $5 / day, agreement upon pick-up.

Apart from regular maintenance, we`ve recently fitted a new radiator and cambelt; Gimli has tyres in a good condition and snowchains for travelling south or up skifields.

For an additional fee of $25 we can do airport pick up or drop off, also we can store your big suitcases or backpacks, so this does not use up unnessecary space in the camper. We`re happy to provide a detailed introduction (English, German, French), assisted left-hand side driving training (if required), and some inside NZ travel recommendations upon rental.

Enjoy your holiday and a great time in New Zealand Aotearoa!
