The Fiat Ducato Campervan looks absolutely beautiful, extremely spacious and comfortable! It has the biggest bathroom we have ever seen in a motor home. Thank you for each and every video you make, we look forward to watching them every week.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We were surprised by the bathroom too! We were expecting a wet room but it was so good to have a separate shower! Thank you for watching each and every week!

[@OxytocinUN]

Im always amazed by your guys production quality. Its incredible, as a fellow NZer you guys inspire me so much - lifestyle, travel & video style

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Comments like this are what make all the effort that goes into production worth it. Thanks so much, means more to us than you know 😊

[@stephaniegruenberg7044]

Such a nice little home on wheels! Love that all the doors lock and the sink has a cover to it. Very nice.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We loved the automation too, our last van had about 10 keys to contend with!

[@christ512]

Thank you for this! It's actually very informational! This campervan looks better than the one you rode for season 1.. looking forward to the next videos!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Glad to hear it! It's an awesome motorhome, wish we could keep it 😋

[@BeeBaaTube]

This van is perfect for my family of 3! 👍👍

[@DanegerAndStacey]

You'll love it!

[@pearlforest]

You guys are so privileged to be New Zealanders to continue your travel life style and channel with all travel restrictions. Appreciate your creativity and ideas 💡 and effort on all the video content. I never have stayed in a camper van, but would love to.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We completely agree, we're so grateful for that. Hope you get to experience van life soon, it's so much fun 😊

[@20VEVZR]

Oo guys ur not supposed to drive with the gas on. You want to switch to auto mode(if it has it) or battery mode while driving and shut off the gas. Some has auto shut offs, but that will stop the fridge working anyways. Good vid! Also above the stereo the fiats have a phone/tablet holder to use for gps 🙂🙂

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We just went by what the professionals told us and had no issues 🤷🏽‍♀️This one didn't have a phone holder either but we managed to make it work 😊

[@20VEVZR]

@@DanegerAndStacey all good! 🙂🙂. Keep posting them vids i am making my list of places to go later in the year with our motorhome 😁. Wish i had some video editing skills you guys do such a good job.

It's our dream to travel to the Netherlands someday! We uploaded a funny one last night 😊

What a gorgeous couple. Thankyou for an amazing video very informative

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yay - thanks!

[@robinfroese7534]

Daneger....you should always empty the black water first...then close it back up...and then empty your grey water. The grey water helps to flush out any black water that might stay in the hose. Love you guys and enjoy your videos. ❤️

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Not on the campers we've been in, Robin. The black and grey aren't connected at all - the black is literally just a straight drop into the container and the grey is all plumbed in 😀 Loving your enthusiasm for clearing away all the 'yuck stuff' though haha! - Dane

[@robinfroese7534]

@@DanegerAndStacey I guess RV/Campers in New Zealand are made differently than here in the US. Again, love you guys and enjoy your videos. ❤️

[@DanegerAndStacey]

@@robinfroese7534 Must be! Great bit of advice for anyone with that kind of plumbing setup though :) Thanks so much for the love.

[@motorhomingwithkidsnz]

We emptynour black cassette first. Then empty the grey afterward. Pretty much washes everything away. Kiwi traveller here 🙂

[@philwright4739]

Love it, that has to be the biggest bathroom I’ve seen in a Motorhome in Australasia. Though you can get some epic setups in North America where the smallest vehicles are around the size of that one you have.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Isn't it crazy! We were expecting a regular wet room (which we never use because the clean up is such a hassle) so to have a separate shower was incredible!

[@travelertrome8449]

I don't know if it is a visual effect, but it truly looks massive inside that camper. That bathroom looks like the size of my apartment bathroom in college! And that is all on wheels?! Amazing! Looks big enough to transport a whole family! 😎🚃🛣

[@DanegerAndStacey]

No visual effects, it's just genuinely huge 😂 The design of this one is really clever, we're super impressed with the amount of space!

[@gra271]

Hi both, heading off to NZ tomorrow staying in North Island for a few days with family then heading down to south island, picking up a very similar motor home to you, let the fun being Gra and Sandy, Devon u.k 🇬🇧👍 Love your videos xx

[@Lulu-jl5zd]

Rubbish bin on the door is genius. Any moisture in the bin falls outside the van when you ditch the rubbish. Clever and clean!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

So clever! It works a bit like a transformer so putting it all back together was harder than it looks 😂

[@stanross6627]

Nice tour, no name yet(the camper van)? BTW, love seeing how happy and excited you both get with food and drink(I get the same way sometimes) . Last ep seemed like heaven. However, I'm willing to bet there is more coming! Looking forward to the next as always. Safe travels, cheers!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Wait til you see the vlog we uploaded last night - drunken bike tour through the vineyards 😂 Such a laugh!

[@RexWaldron]

Apart from the power socket shortage (which Dane's hack overcomes) that is a fantastic camper van! Your phone sat nav is probably better than most "built in" nav systems, so not having that included in the van spec is not a problem :)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We completely agree, can't go wrong with Google Maps! Plus, Dane love a good technology hack 😂 I wouldn't have a clue what to do in that situation, thank goodness for him!

[@lukasphillips1833]

They also had an auto-trail EKS before the chausson 🥰

[@rob1971]

Oh, and power boards are a great thing to take whenever you travel, it saves taking loads of travel adaptors 🔌

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Very true, we cant live without them!

[@theschofieldadventures1157]

Hi guys hope your well Sad to hear about the airport worker in NZ that came positive for Corona hope all will be ok and enjoyed the video big thumbs up 👍

Thanks guys! Same to you!

[@paulcalkin7960]

Love the van. I will be looking here in Sweden for the same type.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Travelling Sweden in one of these would be epic!! Happy adventuring!

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Wauw thats a lovley camper van. 😂😂😂 poor dane. having to empty the “ waste “. Though its not as bad as some older camper vans 🤢. Were . Wine tasting looks amazing 🥰.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha isn't he lovely doing the waste for us 😇

[@nathangreen7312]

Awesome video guys. Dane that's the only problem with a rental campervan is they're governed down. Hence the less power

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks, Nathan! Would've been nice to have a liiiiiittle bit more, but for the most part having less power wasn't too bad.

[@williehannon9306]

Hate those over cab beds. Having the bed made up permanently is great. Surprised at no maps but a great RV

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yeah we were surprised about that too but managed ok with our phones!

[@luceliaperalta5496]

Maravilhoso, wonderful

[@DanegerAndStacey]

😊😊

[@TravelTourTaste]

Hello we were trying to book a little getaway and we can not even travel within our Own Country (England) so this would be ideal for those that wish to travel. we just wish we were in the financial situation to own one. who knows one day maybe just maybe we shall get one. Stay safe my friends Love and Light Sarah and Glenn

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Sorry to hear that, sounds like things have been tough over there. We have family there who are itching to travel again! Oh we hear ya, wish we could own one too! Sending love back your way!

[@WhenAdventureKnox]

I love the idea of a campervan, having your home with you everywhere, not needing to pack and unpack, but it's the roads that have always put me off. The best places for Campervanning in the UK are always down narrow country lanes and the idea of such a big vehicle is overwhelming. In NZ, do you get the tiny roads like we do in Cornwall/wilds of Scotland or are they better suited for an RV?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We can completely understand that, some of the roads we've driven in the UK feel like they could barely fit a Mini through, let alone a giant campervan! The roads here in NZ are definitely wider but they are full of twists and turns. We might be a bit biased though because we've grown up on these roads so they feel pretty normal to us.

Nice to you have a proper motorhome , not a Maii Britz van conversion like we have had in the past plus no 3 hour wait to get the van. Was this video made at Kaikoura 10 ten Holiday park? We where there in Nov 2019 .We went on a whale watching trip, but the whale where having an afternoon off .

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Good spotting! We did film in Kaikoura - sad to hear you didnt spot any whales but that's a great excuse to come back someday right?

[@luceliaperalta5496]

Hello from Brazil

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Hello!!

[@angie23575]

It's definitely cool and it'sa great option to rent, however I wouldn't spend $150,000 on it when I could put that money into a bespoke camper conversion because I would want to be able to tailor it to my own preferences and needs (like plenty of power points 😂)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

That's fair, If you're buying it brand new surely there would be the option to customise right?! Haha same, we'd install power points everywhere!

[@sandeeppakhrin]

hey guys, great tips and advice. what do you think about sleeping during winter inside a campervan? is it warm enough would you say? thanks

[@DanegerAndStacey]

You get a heater supplied but they can be a bit shit. I think both times we went and bought a second heater ourselves for like $50 or so and that really helped have one facing the bed, one facing the living areas

[@liselottnelson5479]

My husband and I wanted to do this two years ago when we went to New Zealand. Unfortunately it was way too expensive.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

A motorhome like this is expensive but you can get some great deals if you're willing to go smaller. Maybe next time! Hope you had a great time regardless!

[@zoemorrison07]

I loved the first van, but I adore this one! Do you guys have a name for this one? 😂👀

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We decided because Aston had such an complex backstory to name this one something easier - Dora the campervan explorer 😂

[@danieljohnston7387]

The mape try waze

[@jenniferblakeney1581]

Hi guys! Envious of your van life right now! This might not be the best place to ask this question, but would you mind if I asked about your drone and flying it around NZ? What kind of rules/regulations are there when it comes to drone use? I know that most of the national parks prohibit use, but what about just light, general use? Can you stop by the side of the road to take a cool shot, or take it with you on a hike, etc? When borders open back up, NZ is one of our first places to travel, and I was planning on bringing a DJI Mavic Mini with me, just to get some cool shots here and there. Nothing serious. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Hey Jennifer, it's becoming increasingly difficult to fly a drone in NZ. We often use stock footage or footage supplied to us by RTOs to avoid making any mistakes. It's a hard question to answer because it varies depending on where you are. We would recommend figuring out where you want to fly and doing a Google search for that specific area to see if drones are prohibited or not. Sorry we can't be more helpful but we'd hate to give you the wrong advice on this one.

[@steve8489]

Yeh nice!! R these camping sites free entry??

[@DanegerAndStacey]

No they're not. Powered sites with facilities vary in price (some can actually be quite expensive) but if your motorhome is certified like ours, there's the option to freedom camp which generally doesn't cost.

[@LLLL-ld5wh]

Hey... Can i check please? Are you sure you can drive with the Gas on? I was told when driving you need to switch to battery. (Novice campervan here so learnijg)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Mixed messages on this one - probably best not to in all honesty, it's not really needed as such while driving anyway of course.

[@LLLL-ld5wh]

@@DanegerAndStacey thanks guys. I put the fridge on battery when driving. But yesterday when i was doing a day tour...and my camper was in a carpark, i left the gas on so all my frozens stayed that way. Love your video. Thank you!

[@mikewaldie7707]

What a brilliant piece of kit! But for $150K you would have thought there would be built in GPS ☹️

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Agreed! We were surprised there was no GPS but luckily our phones worked fine for us 😊

[@motorhomingwithkidsnz]

Definatly should never drive with the gas on, very unsafe. The pros put you way wrong on that one. That's why the fridge has battery mode. Your phones and laptops should all be able to charge off USB via the 12v system. I've never used the mains sockets in ours in 5 years.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Ah well - lucky we had no problems at all 😊Good for others to know though! Great that system works for you. We needed the mains sockets so we could use a powerboard - we have SO much technology while we're filming on the road.

[@HollyandAndrew]

This RV design puts US models to shame. Very beautiful and efficient for such a small space!
