This is what you can expect to learn from the Beta 2S video manual.

5 reasons to travel New Zealand in a Beta 2S

2. Unlimited kilometres & being able to drop off at another depot (no extra fees)
3. Bedding & linen included
4. More space inside as there’s no back seat. Therefore, it can only seat 2 people and you can’t use a baby or child seat (if more seats or using a baby seat is what you’re after then the Beta campervan is the one for you.

Before you start your road trip

Using the cooking gear

• You’ll see all cooking items that can be found in the Beta 2S. Everything you’ll need to prepare a yummy meal, from pans and utensils to plates, forks and knives.
• The video even shows you a simple yet yummy recipe. Perfect dish after a day of driving and/or hiking.
• And some tips for setting up and using the portable gas cookers. Yes, there are portable so you can also place them on a picnic table along the way. As long as it’s on a flat and stable surface.

Sleeping in the Beta 2S campervan (and using the rear awning)

• Setting up sleeping option #1: fully inside with the boot (back door) closed.
• Or setting up the bed with the rear awning (a tent-like extension) for more space and extra ventilation. We call it sleeping option #2. Perfect for warm summer nights in New Zealand.
• There’s also the optional sunshade for creating a bigger covered outdoor area. That one is also easy to set up.

Mechanical tips like replacing a tyre

• How to check the oil level of the Beta 2S campervan
• Checking tyre pressure and how to add air to get it up to the recommended tyre pressure again. Especially on a long road trip on gravel roads, you’ll need to check if the tyre pressure is still on the recommended level of 36 PSI.
• In case of a flat tyre, the video shows you how to replace a tyre of the Beta 2S. Each Spaceships campervan category has some difference when it comes to replacing a tyre. Please watch the video for all details concerning the Beta 2S.
