The cheapest way to own a new European motorhome 

in New Zealand is by personal import.

If you're interested in buying a motorhome in the UK for personal importation to New Zealand - even using it to tour Europe before it's shipped home, please check us out.

Generally, UK spec European built motorhomes meet NZ compliance requirements without major modification.

• They have 240v 50Hz electrics (Same as NZ)

• They use appliances commonly seen in NZ (Dometic, Truma, Smev etc.)

• State of the art super-efficient European diesel engines give superb performance with quietness and great economy.

• Many models now incorporate ABS brakes, electronic stability control, airbags and many other saftey features.

They're the safe option when it comes to imports.

We can:-

• Source the model of your choice at a good price and from a reputable UK supplier

• Organise the paperwork to purchase the vehicle for export and avoid UK tax (New vehicles only)

• Arrange shipping and transit insurance

• Gain Customs and MAF clearance

• Obtain all necessary specification documents for the compliance procedure

• Submit the vehicle to a compliance certification centre for certification.

Look what some of our previous clients say:-

"Thank you for the very professional work you have undertaken on our behalf. I had no idea of the amount of work that had to be done to import a new vehicle. We arrived home last night after an uneventful journey entirely delighted with our new motor home. We would be delighted to act as referees for any potential future clients, and would not hesitate in recommending they use your services."
