Company & Camper Info
ABOUT WENDEKREISEN
Wendekreisen Travel Ltd is a family owned and operated, award-winning New Zealand Hire Company offering quality Campervan, Motorhome and Car rentals to visitors since 1991. With over 30 years experience in the New Zealand Campervan rental market, this company make every effort to deliver well maintained and modern vehicles at a reasonable price without hidden costs.
Wendekreisen have introduced an emissions offset program. They effectively offset all fuel carbon emissions of all their hire vehicles. As an example a 10 day hire will offset 540Kg in CO2 emissions. Wendekreisen are proud to include the emission costs credits with all hires free of charge. .
THE MOTORHOME
The Wendekreisen Koru Star 2 Freedom (Auto) brings automatic transmission to the Freedom range. Designed for two people and combining robust off-grid capabilities with 2022 vehicle engineering.
This campervan is equipped with features typical of the Wendekreisen Freedom series, offering a comfortable and spacious cabin complete with a phone-compatible touch screen, reversing camera, USB ports, and a 6-speed automatic transmission.
They have installed a powerful 340-watt MPPT controlled 12-volt solar system and combined this with 2.88 kilowatt hours of fast-charging battery storage. Whilst driving, the alternator also charges your batteries. A quality mains power charging system is installed if you are plugged in at campsites.
A 2.2KW variable speed diesel heating system is connected to the vehicle fuel tank. The heaters 'set and forget system' brings quiet and efficient warmth to wherever you stay. The heater fuel consumption is about 300ml diesel per hour. The combination of solar, good energy storage and efficient heating means that there is very little need to refuel gas bottles or to charge batteries on paid campgrounds.
The hot water is powered by a heat exchanger, connected to the vehicle cooling system. There is no need for gas or any other fuel to heat water. Once the engine reaches operating temperature, the in-house water will be hot for a period of up to 24 hours.
A good mattress is essential when resting on holidays. Our vehicles are equipped with top quality medium density Dunlop foam mattresses. These carry an anti-mould guarantee and provide for a very comfortable sleep.
The living entertainment includes a Netflix compatible Avtex smart TV with soundbar which can also be used as a Bluetooth speaker. A custom designed pull-out pantry can store large shops of groceries. Other features include ambient LED night lighting and ample storage. The rear of the lounge suite also includes a large drawer, big enough to accommodate medium sized suitcases or a variety of soft travel bags.
