LDV V80: Manual, Walkthrough & Self-Contained
The Wendekreisen Budget 2 Freedom was specifically developed to allow immediate, easy access to the front cabin of the vehicle. Built on the reliable LDV V80 chassis (2017 model or newer) with a 2.5l Diesel TDCI engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, it is an incredibly economical way to explore New Zealand. Averaging just 9 litres/100 km, it easily rivals any cheaper camper new zealand option on the market while offering premium features.
Whether you are starting your journey up north or collecting your vehicle from Wendekreisen Christchurch, this LDV campervan is a fantastic campervan choice. It drives beautifully with cruise control, a touch screen tabloid, and a reverse camera. Plus, with its well-maintained interior and modern amenities, it provides an experience that rivals a new LDV campervan.
Smart Living & Sleeping Space

- Spacious Bedding: The lounge suite converts into a large double bed measuring 1830 x 1810 mm.
