    Should be labeled Camper Van or Caravan, and NOT MOTOR-HOME, Motor-homes can be much larger then caravans, and also of Motor-homes can have more space insider than caravans due to slide outs etc, many can also carry more payload. can also tow another caravan or car or boat behind if required.

    Excellent video from four experienced travellers. Yes one size doesn’t fit all and there’s no perfect setup I’ve found over the years. I like the motorhome if your touring and a caravan if your staying put for a while and the convenience of using the tow vehicle for sightseeing and commuting.

    My Dad still call's his GPS TomTom 😅.. it might actually be one, his motorhome was new in 2007. Sandy and Greg, Funny coincidence 🤔 our drawer doe's the same 😅, we use duct tape to keep it from popping open 😊. We also try to stick to the 2hr drive, have alternative places. Oh and I did find the Cambridge story amusing 🫣 (sorry). But Having driven it numerous times the image of the local's made me chuckle. Was it with the same Jayco? Excellent video from you all. Very informative, At the moment we're still team caravan, not sure I'm nimble enough to be clambering around trying to make the bed in a van full time. But a van like yours Jord and Tom, is on our list if we ever get off the road. We may consider going to a smaller 17.9foot off-road caravan we saw. But for now our club lounge 23 foot off-road caravan is home 😍

    Really enjoyed listening to the pros and cons. We have owned both. The first was a fifth-wheeler which was towed by an Iveco truck. My hubby towed it and I followed behind in a ute with our dogs. We lived in it full-time and parked in each spot for several days. We then bought a Toyota Coaster which I loved. It was easy for me to drive and super quick to park and set up. And as Tom mentioned it was ideal for pulling over to explore points of interest. Easy to park, could fit into supermarket carparks. Really enjoyed listening to the four of you chat. Great video. Thanks.

    Talking about helpful gadgets for the road … we have a USB 500ml dehumidifier which works really well, Sheffield rechargeable mini desk fans, high capacity battery pack to charge phones (EcoFlow is great but pricey) … keeping an eye on the newly US released Starlink Mini which runs on DC and has much lower power consumption than the current AC models. We currently have Wireless Nation with external antennas running in MIMO mode and it has been okay, but in some spots OneNZ 4G coverage is terrible and their sites are over subscribed leading to poor quality of service with super high error rates when you analyse traffic (yes I am a geek!)

      Hey Simon! Thanks so much for watching. We purchased the van privately, it has never been a rental, just two owners before us, maybe one actually, I'll check. Extremely reliable. When we initially got her, the mechanic who did a pre-purchase, said its like new, recent service, said the same. She had done just 30,000 when we brought her, we've now got her up to 50,000ish. She really is a great machine, and we take really good care of her. 😊

      @@TasmanTravels thanks for reply. 30,000km is low. 👍 What’s your plans to keep the van? Did you buy it in nz ?

      @@simonhantler8062 Yes, we did purchase it in New Zealand, Auckland from a lovely lady who was selling off her father's estate. We were very lucky to get such an awesome, well-looked after van, in a market flooded by ex-rentals that have done hundreds of thousands of km's, and not treated the best. Very lucky. If you like, are you on Facebook, if you message our Tasman Travel's Facebook page, we would be more than happy to chat more about our Matilda and our plans. 😊 facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086571578218
