As we toured around we got to talk to others in their motorhomes and came to realise how special ours was. Many only had buckets to drain their grey water into; we had a tank. We had extra batteries so we could keep clear of the recognised motorhome parks if we wanted to "go bush" which we regularly did. And that diesel heater - that's what really set BJ apart from the others. We found no one with this kind of wonderful heating (and you need it in May in South Island NZ let me tell you).

Major Sporting Events
Come 2011, when the seventh Rugby World Cup kicks off, there will be hundreds of fans out and about wishing they were in a motorhome instead of a hotel.
The Rugby World Cup is one of the biggest sporting events in the World and we're 98.9% sure that ‘no vacancy' signs will be popping up everywhere. If you're planning to explore New Zealand between games, a campervan or motorhome is the way to go. It gives you the freedom to head off wherever you want when you're not watching the match or, to park near the stadium so you can have a couple of beers over a scrum or two...
Please contact us if you're interested in travelling in a Wilderness motorhome and we will keep you in the loop. As information is released by the New Zealand Rugby Union we will be sure to let you know so you can start planning your trip.
In the meantime, our best advice is to book your Base Jumper campervan quick smart and start preparing for the All Blacks to thrash all before them...
