We did NZ almost 2 years ago now (OZ too), staying in caravan parks mostly, but wanted to go back this year in a caravan. Unfortunately we are a bit older than you and health issues have curtailed our plans - maybe next year. We've never caravaned so I may have to ask you for tips on how to do it! You can find my NZ posts on worldmap, may give you some ideas for your next trip. Following you.

Wow, thanks so much for your comments, am happy to help you anyway I can! I couldn’t recommend the camper- van more highly! Brilliant way to see NZ again. The politeness in their driving style and tolerance for camper crazy roads is amazing too.. I will be going back for sure! I will check your posts out too! Thanks for stopping by my post!!
I actually found NZ drivers a bit more aggressive than in OZ. An acquaintance had warned us about OZ driving but we later discovered she 'warns' people about everything - I found the motorways very relaxing compared to ours in Canada, where everyone drives well over the limit and many tailgate and/or pass on the wrong side. Getting through Sydney on the other hand was a bit of a challenge!
Whoa !! I’m hearing you! Sydney is mad!! I haven’t driven in Canada ... yet! @brightongreg
In Sydney I thought I was turning into a merge lane, not, stopped just in time to avoid a heavy goods lorry ending our trip! If you ever come this way contact me for advice - like Oz a very big country, lots to see, but you have to be selective.
