Most Popular Motorhomes in New Zealand for 2023

Motorhomes have long been the chariot of choice for Kiwis on holiday. From nifty little runabouts for spontaneous weekend trips to long-distance behemoths built to take you far and wide, there's a motorhome to suit every adventure. As one of the leading motorhome importers in New Zealand, we have compiled a list of the most popular motorhomes to help you get out of the house and onto the road.

What are the Types of Motorhomes Available in NZ?

Motorhomes come in various sizes to match the scale of any adventure you embark on. Before getting into the nitty gritty of makes and models, understanding the different classes of motorhomes is crucial to knowing which vehicle will suit you best.

Class A: The big boys of the motorhome world. A Class A motorhome body is built as one superstructure around a bus or truck chassis.

Class B: The smallest motorhome class, Class B motorhomes take a van's body and retrofit it with an interior and raised roof. These fun-sized explorers are the second most popular motorhome class in NZ.

Class C: These motorhomes are what most of us picture when we think of an RV, with its traditional overhanging sleeping quarters above the cabin. Built on small trucks or cutaway cab chassis, Class Cs are big but not quite as cumbersome as an A class. It's NZ's most popular motorhome class.

You won't feel cramped should the weather turn and you all need to curl up inside. Many models also come with well-equipped kitchens, providing all the necessary space and sizzle to satisfy any foodies.

Roller Team Zefiro 696

Enjoy a five-star hotel feeling anywhere in the country with the Roller Team Zefiro 696. This Italian-made motorhome oozes opulence and can fit the whole family comfortably. For relaxing during the day, there is a spacious L-shaped lounge area draped in a contemporary interior finish and capable of seating up to five people. The lounge area once again conjures up feelings of a hotel, not a vehicle, with the sheer size of the space perfect for entertaining the kids with a few board games or the adults with a couple of drinks. The Zefiro 696 offers a private, peaceful sleeping experience with a rear island bed, bedside tables, and two wardrobes. The central door closes off this sleeping section, offering a level of privacy unheard of in a motorhome. The Zefiro 696 is less a motorhome and more so a hotel on wheels.
