You’ve seen our iconic Toyota Estima campervans cruising around New Zealand for years, turning every road trip into a legendary #SpaceshipsRoadTrip. But guess what? We’ve been listening to you - our Space Traveller community...
We've read all questions and feedback. Do you also have a Volkswagen campervan? (our European Space Travellers love that brand). When will you add a vehicle that can sleep more than 2 people inside the vehicle? Do you have Hiace vans in your fleet? We would like to be able to stand up in the campervan. Can we cook inside the vehicle? All awesome feedback and tips sent in by you guys... And now - based on all that - we’re about to drop something big in 2026.
You asked for a vehicle that’s as easy to drive as a car but packed with the just-right features of a campervan. Something reliable like all Spaceships, something comfortable in all seasons and weather types and something that is ready for adventure, without the bulk. Well, we heard you loud and clear.
Our fleet has always been about innovation, the perfect blend of car-like handling and campervan comfort. And now, we’re adding a new star to our galaxy... We can't tell you what it will look like yet. But we'll drop some hints now.
And most importantly.... Tested on NZ roads! Did you spot our mystery campervan in Spaceships colours in July or August 2026? It could be out there right now on one of its test runs.
Spaceships logo added - this new campervan model is ready for a test run
Because we’re not just about vehicles, we’re about experiences. Since 2004, we’ve been crafting campervans that let you drive like a car and sleep like a campervan. We’re Kiwi-owned, eco-conscious, and obsessed with making your road trip unforgettable.
And yes, we’re still all about responsible camping, because New Zealand’s beauty deserves to be preserved for generations of adventurers to come.
Keep your eyes peeled for more clues. The official launch is coming in Q4 2026, but for now you might spot the new campervan model on its test drives in August & September 2026. So let the speculation begin!
