Designed to take you comfortably from campsite to campsite (and EVERYWHERE in between) the MAD ADVENTURER is our only non self-contained vehicle - meaning it doesn’t have a toilet on board.

At Mad Campers we are passionate in getting travelers involved in all that New Zealand has to offer. That’s why we now provide the MAD ADVENTURER, a more casual yet fully equipped camper capable of taking you through every step of your Kiwi journey!!

The MAD ADVENTURER has been designed to help you travel in comfort as you explore the hidden gems around every corner. Staying at the amazing paid campsites scattered around the country means you will always have access to facilities and will be connected with other travelers on similar adventures.

Now there’s no excuse… go on, be brave and book your ADVENTURE today!
Just some of the advantages of non-self-contained campervans are:

Easy and comfortable to drive

Lower rental rates than our 2 berth camper

Super easy to set up

Cheaper on ferries

Cheaper on petrol

The MAD ADVENTURER is our first non self-contained camper. This means that is doesn’t have a toilet or the water capacity to be self contained. But our MAD ADVENTURER’s are still equipped with features that will allow you to have a MAD adventure with comfort and ease.

Apps like Rankers NZ and Campermate are the perfect companions for your trip. These apps will show you the tips and tricks of camping in a non self-contained camper vs a self-contained camper, along with insight to the amazing campsites around New Zealand. As mentioned above, not being self-contained, the MAD ADVENTURER comes with many advantages.

We are incredibly proud of our fit outs which boast:

A fully functional kitchenette with fridge, sink, LPG 2 burner gas cooker, pots & pans and utensils, salt, pepper, oil and dishwashing liquid
