The sunshade can be used with all Spaceships vehicle categories, More info about how to use it.

Mosquito/bug nets (window covers): $50

Our Dream Sleeper Mini campervan comes with super handy mosquito nets included (yes that is correct, mosquito nets are included for free when your hire a Dream Sleeper Mini).

These nets have magnetic dots to attach and remove in a few seconds without damaging the vehicle.

And now we have these mosquito nets available as an optional accessory for the rest of the Spaceships New Zealand fleet. Add them to your booking for $50, fixed fee per hire.

Charge Your Gadgets Pack with the 240-volt mains plug: $40

Can't travel without your gadgets? Hey, we totally understand. A laptop, smartphone, hairdryer and hair straightener are necessities of modern life for us. We do understand the importance of 240-volt.

Therefore, we've added the 240-volt mains plug to our list of campervan accessories. It will keep your gadgets powered up. It's a quality plug with built-in safety features and can be used at powered campsites along the way.

Only $40 flat fee per hire, which is cheap as chips. Hiring a mains plug on a campground or holiday park will cost you $20 per day. Get it at Spaceships for only $40 per hire.

Optional summer Accessories: make the most of summer

Summertime is a great time to explore New Zealand by campervan. These optional accessories will make your summer road trip even easier or more relaxed. Enjoy the Kiwi sunshine, but make sure to protect yourself from the harsh UV rays. Always slip (on clothing to protect your skin), slop (on some sunscreen), slap (on a hat) and wrap (wear sunglasses to protect your eyes).

Wide range of optional accessories to choose from

Table and chairs combo: $60

No more sitting on the (wet) grass or on dirt. Our table and chairs combo provides you with 1 table and 2 chairs. Simply fold/unfold and it's time to relax. Perfect for every moment of the day. This is our most popular combo and saves you $15 off the regular chair and table prices.

Optional winter accessories: stay warm on cold(er) days

Winter is the best time to explore New Zealand if you prefer to travel in the cheapest & most quiet season. You will experience the winter sun during the day and more chilly or even frosty nights, all depending on where you decide to go on your NZ road trip: the winterless North in the North Island or to the south of the South Island to experience the New Zealand winter.

Whatever you do and wherever you go, your Spaceships campervan will keep you warm. Our campervans have better insulation than campervans based on a van or mini-van model. Thatis the power of the Toyota Estima, the car model all Spaceships campervans are based on.

Stay warm in winter with these optional accessories for your campervan road trip

Winter Warmer Pack: stay extra warm for just $50 

This Winter Warmer Pack consists of campervan accessories that will keep you warm on those chilly New Zealand winter evenings/nights. Here's what's in this winter pack:

• 2x hot water bottles (hotties)
• 1x Thermos for hot tea, coffee or soup wherever you go
• Extra duvet, snuggle up with this fluffy and warm duvet (and the one that's already in your campervan)
• 3x Extra gas canisters to heat some more soup or water for the hot water bottles

Hiring a campervan in winter is cheap and heaps of fun. Plus, there are fewer people on the road.

Extra Duvet: $35

If you're not interested in the super affordable Winter Warmer Pack and just want an extra duvet, then you can add it to your booking. No worries. The extra duvet - duvet + duvet cover - is an easy way to stay extra warm on colder nights.

Snow chains: $80

Do you need snow chains when hiring a campervan in winter? Well, that depends. June, July and August are the winter months in New Zealand. However, winter in New Zealand isn't as icy and snowy as you might expect. Most of the popular motorways on South Island won't be affected by the winter weather. Unless there are severe weather conditions of course.

Snow chains are available as an optional accessory. However, you probably will only need them when going to the ski fields or when driving on less popular roads in the deep south of the South Island or when going to some of the more remote ski fields in the South Island.

How to add snow chains to your booking... As we have a limited amount of snow chains they are only available on request (not via the Online Check-in Portal). Just contact us and ask if snow chains are available for your road trip. Our friendly crew can also advise you whether snow chains are necessary for your trip.

If you decide to hire snow chains, please make sure to fit them properly when it is necessary. Check out this how-to fit snow chains info if you are not sure how to use them. Tip: always check the road & weather conditions before you start a new day of roadtripping or use the free Spaceships camping & travel app.

That's it! So what about sleeping gear and cooking stuff you ask? Well, that is all included for free. Everything you need to a good night's sleep is included.
