You can book with extra confidence with our super low deposit of only NZ$300 and full payment not due until you pick up of the campervan! Why pay other motorhome operators upwards of 30 days out when you don't need to?

What our Happy Customers are Saying

Awesome van for our holidays in New Zealand

Everything we needed was on board.

Everything 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.


BenBarbara Frey

Great value for money

Great value for money. Comes with all basic amenities.


BenZenia Fernandes

Simon from the call center saved our trip, he’d definitely earns 5 stars himself!

After 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.


BenNathalie

Spent 3ish weeks driving north to south island.

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.


BenJace

Very friendly and helpful

Counter staff were very friendly and helpful. The vehicle was very clean,comfortable and drove very well


BenCustomer

The vehicle itself was wonderful to drive

Very smooth, helped by having a 3. 5 litre engine. I liked it souch, I am looking at buying one.


BenBarry

Everything was great

Everything 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


BenGerald

We loved our black sheep camper

We loved our black sheep camper, it was quite simple but sufficient for two people.


BenSophie Heider

Clean and comfortable. No issues at all

You get what you pay for! Lived two people for 2 weeks without any issues, clean and comfortable. No issues at all


BenTuva FORS

Drove very nice

Got us where we needed and was a comfortable sleeper! Drove very nice as well especially for an old van


BenJoanna Haveman

Easy company to deal

Great 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.


BenTimothy Ashworth

We would recommend this company

We 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
