VW Crafter: Automatic, Self-Contained & 4 Berth
If you are looking to rent camper new zealand style with no compromises, the Wendekreisen Koru 4 Freedom is designed for off-grid travelling with up to four adults. Built on the upgraded 130KW VW Crafter 40 chassis (2019 model or newer) with an 8-speed automatic transmission, it is widely considered one of the best non-composite 4 berth motorhome New Zealand has to offer.
Whether you are starting your journey in Auckland or organizing a campervan hire Christchurch pickup, this vehicle provides a premium motorhome rental New Zealand experience. It is exceptionally economical (averaging just 11 litres/100km) and packed with advanced safety features like 360° sensor side protection, autonomous emergency braking, and side wind compensation.
Smart Layout & Flexible Living Space
The interior of this 4 berth campervan is intelligently designed to balance driving comfort with living space.
- Social Front Lounge: Unlike many traditional motorhomes, the 4-seat front configuration allows all passengers to travel together in close vicinity. Once parked, this area serves as a fantastic space to socialise or have meals without needing to pack away the beds in the back.
- Flexible Electric Rear Bunk Beds:: The rear features two spacious double beds in a smart bunk layout (Bottom: 1.84m x 1.49m | Top: 1.84m x 1.20m). The upper bed is electrically operated and lifts neatly into the ceiling at the push of a button, creating extra living space when not in use, just like in the Koru Star 4 Freedom. Tinted windows and quality curtains provide a private and comfortable sleeping environment.
- Easy Access: A convenient internal walk-through allows you to move directly from the driver's cab into the living area, while the rear doors open a full 270° to let the outside in on sunny days.
Technology, Insulation & Off-Grid Capability
This 4 berth motorhome is engineered to keep you powered and comfortable in the wild.
- Solar & Battery Power: We have equipped this vehicle with a powerful 280-watt MPPT-controlled solar system and two quality deep-cycle batteries, providing a decent 2.88 KWh (240 amp hours) of energy storage. USB and 12V outlets keep all your devices charged.
- Efficient Diesel Heating: A 2.2KW diesel central heating system runs directly from the 75L vehicle fuel tank (using just 160ml per hour). This keeps the cabin toasty warm and drastically reduces your need for LPG refills.
- Hot Water on Demand: An instantaneous gas system ensures you only heat water when you actually need it for a shower or doing the dishes.

If you are looking for true wilderness camping, its large solar and battery setup still allows you to reach and stay at remote, legal freedom camping spots with ease.
