The short version is 'Do yourself a favour and book your camper van or sleepercar with Ross Brittenden and Camperco New Zealand.

Ross's service was brilliant and the sleepercar we had was unimpeachable in its excellence.Camperco made our 5 week NZ holiday and we cannot recommend it enough'.

The longer version is that we asked Ross many, many questions before we booked with him. We were nervous because we had never used a sleepercar before and Ross was extremely patient as well as precise in answering each of our questions.

The sleepercar was as described - it had more than what we had expected in it - lovely bedding and a very full cutlery set etc

I am a car enthusiast (Google Pathmanathan + any of Murcielago, Countach, Diablo) and the idea of driving thousands of kilometres in any campervan filled me with dread.

In 32 days, we did a total of 6703 kilometres in HNE596 all over NZ and we fell totally in love with this car.

We found a lovely Ferrari in Wellington which we seriously considered buying and shipping back to the UK and we actually asked Ross how much it would cost to buy HNE 596 and send it back in the same sea-container - because his Estima was that good.

Ross's Estima was very high mileage, but within a few kilometres of driving it we could see and feel that its mechanics had been fastidious maintained.

The brakes and drivetrain felt like new, and the tyres were new.

We had only one tiny problem with the Estima in 32 days of hard driving - a fuse blew and the fridge/cooler box stopped working

That happened on our 2nd day with the car - a Sunday.

Despite it being a Sunday morning, Ross immediately picked up our phone call and immediately arranged for the car to be thoroughly inspected and fixed.

We had no other problems with the car at all and it ate up the 6703 miles with ease and aplomb - despite sometimes driving it through torrential rain and for hundreds of kilometres in one go

We loved and continue to love HNE596.
