We rented the epic + camper for 4 weeks as a couple, and had an excellent time.
The van was mechanically flawless during our rental period. It's an automatic gearbox so you can put all your focus driving on the left side of the road 😆
We loved the ability to have a table & seating area in the van during the day. I'm 6ft2 and could comfortably sit upright. At night, the double bed was large enough for me & the girlfriend, and despite a couple sub-zero nights, we could sleep comfortably with the extra blankets (and a set of thermal layers).
The kitchen was great, and came packed with anything you might need. We loved cooking outside in the parks & mountains :) the tap in the back also proved invaluable as we used it all the time!
The second battery worked flawlessly, and we never had to worry about the voltage levels, and the fridge was surprisingly spacious!
One recommendation I would have for my past-self is to rent the roof cargo box/ski box, as we had a bit too many bags after all our travels leading up to NZ.
The epic team was extremely responsive, they made our own whatsapp contact group where we had constant line of contact to the epic team, should any issues have arisen.
Fully recommend!
