Your tent or in your backpack or in your car, so you sleep in a campervan or a motorhome, you will not regret it! Nevertheless, the campervan seems the best choice for travelers on a budget wanting to stay a little dry (the New Zealand climate is unpredictable with high rainfall, to the delight of his millions of sheep grazing on green grass ). This is what we chose to explore the country for three weeks.
