This is a tricky review as we know if we wanted a flash top notch campervan we would have paid a lot more.

It was a bit shabby inside, it creaked and groaned somewhat but that was ok- however what was not good was the intermittent failing electrics for the indicators- after a good try by Britz at fixing it in Queenstown the problem came back the day before we dropped it off in Christchurch. We wondered what the insurance situation would have been if someone hit us and we were accused of not indicating when we thought we were? The van would not get a warrant of fitness in that state, so not great. Dont mind cheap and cheerful, but dodgy mechanics is another matter.

Apart from that, the big 6 berth mercedes was easy to drive and very powerful, automatic gearbox was surprisingly good-even going down Bluff hill. A few inventory issues but the Queenstown staff were very obliging in putting that right.

Britz knows who we are as we told them in Christchurch when I dropped it off, they seemed only mildy interested however- you need to pull that particular van off the road and re wire it for the sake of the next hirers.
