4 months in NZ - motorhome or 4x4 with cavavan?
Discussion
Hello
Living up to my username, earlier this year, after too many beers, booked return flights to NZ with girlfriend for 4 months, arriving 1st December.
Rented our UK home to friends of friends and plan to work from laptop during trip.
First big question - Originally planned to buy motorhome on arrival to sell before leaving (perhaps GBP 15k?) as I'm mechanically practical have built a few campers as a hobby (including a 4x4 camper for last year's Iceland trip).
However ... now thinking a decent 4x4 and caravan combo may be better? Idea of leaving caravan at campsites, to head into 4x4 only territory for adventures and staying at B&Bs, along with benefits of having a vehicle for day trips without the hassle of a motorhome. Also might be easier to sell separately at end of trip.
Aim of trip is simply to relax, avoid too many tourist hotspots, enjoy the land, people and beer.
Advice and suggestions welcome!
