​Other Questions

Do European Caravans suit New Zealand?

The European has a colder, harsher climate than New Zealand. Like European housing, caravans are made so people are comfortable in this climate all year round. European Caravans are all-year, all-weather caravans, with refrigeration panel walls and double glazing. They are ideal for New Zealand conditions!

Why appliances need to be changed?

New Zealand has high compliance standards, which is great for New Zealanders! Appliances which are new, second hand, made by world wide popular brands – all have to be tested and certified to New Zealand Standards before use. A gas certificate cannot be issued till the appliances are approved and certified to New Zealand standards, tagged and issued with a letter of compliance by an approved certifying body in accordance with the requirements of New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 5601

What engine capacity is required to tow these caravans?

European Caravans are lighter weight than New Zealand caravans, which means you can tow most with a standard family car.

What about voltage and electrical comply with New Zealand? Are these caravans safe?

European caravans take 12V/ 240V – the same as in New Zealand. We do have to change a few electrical fittings to comply with New Zealand Standards, and we supply an Electrical Certificate as part of compliance which makes them very safe.

What sort of brakes, couplings, chassis and suspension do they have?

Override brakes. 50mm Ball Coupling.
Chassis are lightweight and strong ALKO galvanized chassis. Most of the caravans come with independent suspension.
