MAD1

Solo Traveller

Comfort of a Camper. Convenience of a Car.

There are a multitude of reasons people choose to travel alone - and here at Mad Campers we respect them all. In fact we’ve gone a step further and created New Zealand’s FIRST single berth campervan especially for our solo adventurers!

We get a real kick out of seeing our travelers head off on solo adventures, knowing you are in total control of where you go and how long you stay at each spot, who you spend time with - and how much time you choose to spend by yourself!  And the money saved on daily rental means you can enjoy all the adventure tourism you want without breaking the bank.

The MAD1 was designed to help you (the solo traveller) have a better vehicle experience whilst saving money AND reducing your impact on the environment.  It allows you to travel in comfort at a much-reduced daily rate, in a vehicle that is easier to drive, far more economical - and has a lower carbon footprint than a van!

Now there’s no excuse… go on, be brave and book your ADVENTURE today!

We are incredibly proud of our fit outs which boast:

  • A fully functional kitchenette with fridge, sink, LPG 2 burner gas cooker, pots & pans and utensils, salt, pepper, oil and dishwashing liquid

  • Extendable hose tap so you can wash your dishes after dinner... and your feet after the beach

Freedom Camping

The freedom camping legislation in New Zealand is currently being reviewed with the current date for commercial operators to align with new specifications being 7th December 2024.  As it stands the MAD1 will not be self-contained. We are currently working to see if we are able to upgrade the campers to align with the new standards, but we aren't sure if this will be possible yet.

If you prefer a self-contained camper and want to lock it in now, the MAD EXPLORER meets the new standards so is the best option!
