| May 4, 2014 at 21:55 | comment | added | digidigo | Thanks, any info on a tourist being able to import goods? The shipping people say yes, but I have heard nightmares. | |

| May 4, 2014 at 21:43 | comment | added | digidigo | Okay great. Good to know that it is a confused term. In some of my dealing they have even started just saying "Van". Trademe separates Caravan and Motorhome. | |
| May 4, 2014 at 21:39 | comment | added | Greg Hewgill | You may find that the price of many goods, from paper clips to caravans, is "strangely very expensive" in NZ. :) Also, note that Kiwis generally don't use the terms "RV" or "motorhome", but the word "caravan" applies to all kinds of mobile living quarters, whether trailer or self-propelled. | |
| May 4, 2014 at 21:37 | comment | added | digidigo | Thanks for the info on importing a vehicle. I would agree importing an RV is probably too much hassle. A Caravan on the other hand is strangely very expensive in New Zealand. 24k in USA is 65K in New Zealand. So plenty of room to make this an affordable option. | |
