As long as you’re licensed and drive to the conditions, you’re welcome. No age surcharges and unlimited kilometres, so you can explore more without watching the odometer.

Awesome van for our holidays in New Zealand
Knew we were getting a budget camper and it performed just fine, no mechanical issues which was somewhat remarkable for a van with 570k kilometers.
JaceGot us where we needed and was a comfortable sleeper! Drove very nice as well especially for an old van
Joanna HavemanGreat value for money. Comes with all basic amenities.
Zenia FernandesEverything we needed was on board. We had no trouble with driving. Not the most solidly built camper (some loose bits inside) but sufficient for our needs and good value for money.
Barbara FreyAfter our Kiwi camper van broke down on day 2 and Kiwi Campers didn’t have another vehicle available in a reasonable time, they arranged a Black Sheep van from Happy Campers.
NathalieYou get what you pay for! Lived two people for 2 weeks without any issues, clean and comfortable. No issues at all
Tuva FORSWe loved our black sheep camper, it was quite simple but sufficient for two people.
Sophie HeiderVery smooth, helped by having a 3. 5 litre engine. I liked it souch, I am looking at buying one.
BarryCounter staff were very friendly and helpful. The vehicle was very clean,comfortable and drove very well
CustomerWe were very happy with our Happier 3 Kuga. It was a 2007 model, 380K on the engine, ran like a clock. Very smooth transmission, good tires and brakes. If you are someone who complains if the curling iron does not turn on, then this rig is likely not for you. On the other hand if you want to travel thru out New Zealand in a good reliable vehicle this is definitely for you! This van was almost half price of a newer rig offered by other companies. With the $2500 that we saved, we put that towards dinners and good local wine as we travelled the island. We booked with happy campers as they had just reorganized the company back in November 2022 and were looking after and resolving many issues Our rental was for the month of March 2023 We would recommend this company
Otto Trygvie BjornsonGreat value for money - in the winter time. Easy company to deal with and I used the free phone line to extend the van each week.
Timothy AshworthEverything was great. A bit of a wait picking up and dropping off the camper van. Seems like everyone is there at once. All in all a good experience
