Wilderness Motorhomes

Motorhomes are a deeply technical subject. There are weight limits, warrant requirements, self-containment rules, and specifications that vary depending on where and how a vehicle was built. Get any of them wrong, and a dream purchase can turn into an expensive lesson.

Some dealers give you a brochure. Others just hand over the keys. We spend every month of the year writing comprehensive guides on every part of motorhome ownership.

This guide explains why Wilderness Motorhomes invests so heavily in educating New Zealand travellers and buyers, and why that knowledge matters when you're making a purchase of this size.

The philosophy that a business should be accountable to its customers and its community for its impact is at the core of what we do. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to announce that we are now a B Corp-certified company, joining a global movement of businesses using their operations as a force for good — alongside other well-known New Zealand companies, including Kathmandu, Allbirds, and Kiwibank.

This certification is the clear, independent signal that you’re choosing a company that meets high standards of social and environmental impact while guaranteeing our customers a highly responsible and ethical purchase and ownership experience.

The story of Jane Goodey and Ali Mossalem’s search for a motorhome has plenty of sliding-door moments. You know the ones — those times in life we all encounter, when what could have been wasn’t, and even the best-laid plans can go astray. 

In this case, the retired Christchurch couple bought a new motorhome when they had initially set out to purchase a secondhand one. Their new purchase wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision but rather a series of those life experiences when things just didn’t go to plan.

Now that Ali and Jane are proud owners of a brand new Bürstner Lyseo TD590, they couldn’t be happier that things didn’t work out as they had originally envisioned.

The clever Bürstner Lyseo IT744 Harmony Line has a few tricks up its sleeve to make the most of its dimensions. Add in premium touches, such as the thoughtfully recessed lighting, elegant tapware, and storage solutions aplenty, and this motorhome offers a heck of a lot for the sticker price.

Grab your mates and set out on an off-grid expedition in this special edition 4WD HYMER MLT 570 CrossOver. Peta Stavelli checks it out.

Exceptional quality and comfort meet adventure in the new HYMER 4x4, available from Wilderness.

Spacious living and comfort are at the heart of Bürstner’s Lyseo IT745, making it an ideal motorhome for the Kiwi lifestyle. The 2019 model has more room than ever to spread out during the day and a groundbreaking new bed design for extra comfort.

A more spacious entertaining area and a groundbreaking new bed design are part of Bürstner’s new Lyseo Harmony Line models have just arrived.

Four stylish new 2019 models from German manufacturer Bürstner are now available and the Wilderness team expects them to be hugely popular with Kiwi motorhomers.

A sensational price, improved interior layout and premium German design and manufacture are all the reasons you need to check out the new 2019 Carado motorhomes coming to Wilderness in May.

The 2019 Carado T447 and T449 models are both four-berth and priced at an exceptional $126,900 – giving them an unbeatable price to quality ratio and putting a brand new motorhome within reach of those who may have been considering buying a second-hand model.

Come and see the SmartRV team at the South Island Motorhome Show in Ashburton this February.

We’re excited about meeting South Island motorhomers at the show (previously known as the South Island Motorhome Extravaganza), where we’ll be at Stand TR1 with a Bürstner Ixeo Time IT726G (2015) and a Bürstner Nexxo Time T569 (2016) on display.

At Wilderness, buying a motorhome is just the beginning of your journey with us. We offer a level of customer service that starts the moment we meet you and extends far beyond the day you drive your new RV home – and that is what we call ‘The Wilderness Difference’.
