Motorhome Industry

Our SmartRV Auckland sales centre will be relocating to the Covi SuperShow at the ASB Showgrounds from Friday 16 to Sunday 18 March 2018. As a consequence, we will not have any motorhomes available to view at the Auckland sales centre from Wednesday 14 to Sunday 18 March as they will be moving to our show display for this time. Our apologies for any inconvenience.

If you’d like to see our team and our motorhomes for sale then do come and visit the SmartRV pavilion at the show, which runs from Friday 16 to Sunday 18 March 2018. We’ll have 25 new and used motorhomes on display from our portfolio of Bürstner, Carado and HYMER, along with some very special pricing.

If you’re unable to come to the Covi SuperShow, we will be back in business as usual at our SmartRV Auckland sales centre from Monday 19 March. You can pop in, or call 0800 007 627 to arrange a time that suits you to come in and chat to one of the team. We look forward to seeing you soon.

The careful attention to detail and complexity of design decisions are what struck Wilderness' Marcel Peifer most during his recent internship with motorhome manufacturer HYMER in Germany, as the company prepares its new 2019 range of vehicles.

Motorhome buyers wanting a stylish look at an affordable price will want to keep an eye out for the new fully integrated (A class) model from Carado. Carado is the European-manufactured entry level motorhome brand from German company Erwin Hymer Group, distributed exclusively by SmartRV in New Zealand, alongside Bürstner and HYMER.

Relaxed, spacious living and stylish interiors are part of the innovative new motorhome design from German brand Bürstner, unveiled at the recent Caravan Salon show in Germany and soon to be available in New Zealand through SmartRV.

Bürstner has dubbed the new design ‘Wohnfühlen’, which translates as ‘well-being’ or ‘comfortable living’. It echoes the Danish concept of ‘hygge’, a trend that is having huge influence on lifestyle and interiors around the world.

Wilderness Motorhomes has received a Gold Sustainable Tourism Business Award and a Qualmark Endorsement.

The sister company to SmartRV runs a fleet of premium European rental motorhomes, operating out of the same premises as SmartRV in Auckland and Christchurch. Wilderness received the awards under new guidelines established by Qualmark, New Zealand tourism’s official quality assurance organisation, last October.

Wilderness has teamed up with Campable, an innovative new concept that matches motorhome travellers with private hosts around the country.

The Campable app, launched in April, provides motorhomers with authentic and unique New Zealand camping experiences.

A young project coordinator from SmartRV has recently embraced a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share Kiwi visions of motorhome design with Bürstner’s product development team in Germany.

The unique floorplan of the Lyseo T744 has been recognised with one of the most important awards in the motorhome industry.

Our European motorhomes here in New Zealand are second to none, with many unique features that set them apart from the rest when it comes to design, quality and comfort.

Imagine being able to set your motorhome to drive through the boring bits while you snooze, arriving refreshed and ready at a pre-programmed photo stop. Or never having to think twice about driving after a long flight, or which side of the road to be on.

Wilderness ushers in the New Year with a game-changer

The Covi Motorhome, Caravan & Outdoor Supershow (17 – 19 March) will host Wilderness's launch of the trend-setting HYMER line up, introducing a level of premium motorhomes and caravans never before seen on our shores.

The world’s biggest motorhome and caravan fair is a bellwether for the trends and health of the industry – judging by the 2016 Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, it’s in very fine fettle.
