ABOUT WENDEKREISEN

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.

THE MOTORHOME
The Wendekreisen Koru Star 4 Freedom Campervan is meticulously crafted for off-grid freedom camping, accommodating up to four adults and standing as a premier choice for non-composite 4-person motorhome rentals in New Zealand.
Fitted with an upgraded 130KW engine, the VW Crafter boasts advanced safety features such as side wind compensation, autonomous emergency braking, collision warning assist, and active 360° sensor side protection. This vehicle complies with the EU6 emission standard and achieves exceptional fuel efficiency at 10 liters per 100 kilometers.
The front seating configuration is designed for passenger comfort and encourages close interaction during travel. It conveniently serves as a socializing and dining area, while the rear beds are prepared for rest. Privacy is assured by tinted windows, complemented by high-quality curtains that contribute to a peaceful sleeping environment.
This campervan comes equipped with an array of standard features, including an onboard touchscreen with a reversing camera, a convenient pull-out pantry, a complete bathroom with a handbasin, a 130-liter fridge, a spacious kitchen counter, a 3-burner gas cooker with a sink, and ample storage space.
Continuing the legacy of the freedom range, this vehicle integrates a robust 340-watt MPPT controlled solar system. It's accompanied by two high-quality deep cycle batteries, providing an impressive 2.88 kilowatt hours or 240 amp hours of in-house battery storage. This combination of efficient solar power and ample energy storage enables extended periods of self-sufficient camping. The hot water supply is efficiently generated by an instantaneous gas system, delivering hot water on demand.
For modern convenience, the campervan is outfitted with USB and 12V power outlets to facilitate the charging of contemporary handheld devices. Thanks to the energy-efficient appliances and LED lighting, the vehicle showcases exceptional energy performance during freedom camping.
Furthermore, a 2.2KW diesel heating system is thoughtfully integrated, expanding energy storage capacity and reducing the need for LPG gas refills. This heating system is linked to the 75-liter diesel tank, consuming an average of 300 milliliters per hour for heating purposes.
In summary, this vehicle ensures secure transportation with minimal fuel consumption, purposefully tailored for independent camping adventures away from costly campgrounds.
