Camping & Touring

Whether it's a weekend at the beach or a few weeks working your way around the South Island, a good camp setup makes all the difference. Shade and shelter from an awning, good lighting once the sun goes down, and cold food and drinks without a chilly bin full of melted ice.

Awnings & camping – vehicle-mounted awnings from Lucas Creek and Hulk 4x4 set up in minutes and give you instant shade and rain cover, with tent walls and mosquito mesh to turn them into a proper living space. Add dual-colour LED camp lighting – orange keeps the bugs away – and a rooftop tent if you want to sleep off the ground.

Refrigeration – a 12/24V compressor fridge/freezer keeps food properly cold (or frozen) in any weather. Size it to your trip: 15–30L suits day trips and weekends, 36–60L covers most touring, and dual-zone models let you run a fridge and freezer side by side. Pair it with a dual battery system so you can stay put for days.
