Koru 2 Freedom

The Koru 2 Freedom Campervan is a refined version of the recently developed Walkthrough model. It has been carefully designed to deliver New Zealand's best campervan rental experience by maximising your time off the grid.

Standard features include an on-board touch screen tabloid system with reversing camera, a hard-wired stereo/TV system, a pull-out pantry, ambient LED night lighting and ample storage. The rear of the lounge suite also includes a large drawer, big enough to accommodate medium sized suitcases or a variety of soft travel bags.

The kitchen comprises of one compact unit including the 60 litre 12V fridge with 2 stove gas cooker and sink combination. The left hand side of the kitchen can be extended for additional bench space.

Whilst maintaining all the existing features, we have installed a powerful 280-watt MPPT controlled solar system and combined this with 2.88 kilowatt hours of house battery energy storage.

We have also changed our traditional LPG gas heating system to a diesel fuelled system. This allows for more energy storage and reduces the need to refill LPG gas bottles. The diesel heating system is connected to the 80l vehicle diesel tank and uses an average of 300ml of diesel per hour of heating. The system is variable speed and will dial back once the selected temperature is achieved.

The hot water is powered by a heat exchanger, connected to the vehicle cooling system. There is no need for gas or any other fuel to heat water. Once the engine reaches operating temperature, the in-house water will be hot for a period of up to 24 hours.

The combination of solar, good energy storage and efficient heating means that there is very little need to refuel gas bottles or to charge batteries on paid campgrounds.

If you are planning to freedom camp in remote New Zealand nature, then this is the vehicle for you!
