It’s a shame that too many people think that they don’t have to worry about their bucket list until they’re older or in retirement. Bucket lists aren’t just a theoretical list of items that people in retirement homes sit around talking about but never actually doing.

So you want to get out on the road and enjoy our beautiful country and you are thinking a caravan is the way to go. We understand why, it’s cost effective especially if you already have the tow vehicle. It allows you not only to explore our stunning country but for some it’s a great lifestyle choice whether you are full time traveling or live permanently onsite near family and friends.

The time always comes when its time to sell your motorhome or caravan. You've had many years of fantastic trips away and adventures on the road, but now, for one reason or another you've decided you need to sell the “Bach on Wheels”

The drive from Lake Tekapo to Wanaka again takes you through even more gorgeous scenery including Linds Pass. It's an easy trail for motorhomes and caravans and a great road trip.

Lake Tekapo is described as picturesque by day and dazzling by night and that is exactly what it is. One night really isn't long enough in this amazing location named as part of the UNESCO Dark Sky Reserve.

Christchurch is the second home to TrailLite Motorhomes and Caravans so it's fitting that any southern tour stops in at New Zealand's second largest city.

Hanmer Springs is a great place for motorhomers despite not permitting self-contained camping in the township. They've accommodated with dedicated parking areas, picturesque and accessible day parking spots, dump station facilities and great options for overnight.

TrailLite and Breakfast are on a motorhome tour of epic proportions this week exploring some of the best locations in the South Island of New Zealand.
