Roadcraft: When you're ready, the road's yours to follow.

Your journey to something special starts here.

There’s something special about the freedom of a New Zealand road trip. The ability to change plans on a whim, follow a quiet back road, and wake up somewhere completely different the next morning, or staying longer at a new favourite spot, is what motorhoming is all about. That spirit is exactly what inspired the new Roadcraft.

Roadcraft has been designed for Kiwis who want a practical, comfortable, locally-built motorhome that makes getting away easier than ever. Built in New Zealand by the team behind TrailLite, Roadcraft brings together decades of manufacturing expertise with a fresh approach focused on value, simplicity and adventure.

The pre-launch video offers a glimpse of what's ahead, capturing the spirit of freedom, possibility and exploration that sits at the heart of the Roadcraft brand. Combined with the first release of specification and floorplan information, it's clear Roadcraft has been designed for people who want to spend less time worrying about the journey and more time enjoying it.
 
Built for the Way New Zealand Travels

New Zealand is unlike anywhere else. One day you're parked beside a rugged coastline, the next you're winding through mountain passes or exploring remote gravel roads.

Roadcraft has been created specifically with this style of travel in mind. Every aspect of the design reflects the Kiwi approach to adventure: load up the gear, hit the road, and enjoy the journey wherever it leads.

Practical Comfort

A great motorhome should feel welcoming the moment you step inside. Roadcraft combines everyday practicality with the comforts that make longer trips enjoyable.

Smart floorplans, generous storage solutions and intuitive features create a living space that's ready for weekends away or extended journeys. Whether you're chasing summer around the coastline or escaping for a spontaneous long weekend, Roadcraft is designed to make life on the road simple and comfortable.

Buyers will be able to choose between layouts:

  • Rear Island Bed model
  • Twin Single Beds model *2027

  • 360W solar system (upgradeable)

Underneath, Roadcraft is built on the Fiat Ducato Series 2, 180hp chassis paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering a combination of performance, comfort and ease of driving. Best of all, it can be driven on a standard car licence. 

 

These features make Roadcraft well-equipped for both holiday parks and off-grid adventures.

Backed by Over 70 Years of Kiwi Expertise

Roadcraft isn't starting from scratch. It's built by the team behind TrailLite, one of New Zealand's most trusted names in motorhomes.

Drawing on more than 70 years of local manufacturing experience, Roadcraft benefits from proven build processes, continuous improvement and a commitment to creating products suited to New Zealand conditions.

Because it's designed and built right here in New Zealand, owners also benefit from local parts, local service and local support, providing confidence long after delivery day.
