When up to four people take to the road in a Spirit 4 Motorhome, they have peace of mind knowing everything they need is catered for.

All the luxuries and features we could possibly need on our journey of exploration through New Zealand was packed into this cleverly designed, easy to drive vehicle with its power steering and radio cassette.

There was air conditioning for hot days and interior heating for cool nights.
Storing and cooking food was easy with the fridge/freezer, gas cooker and microwave.
Nothing was spared in the bathroom which had hot and cold pressurised shower, hand basin, cabinet, and even a flush toilet.

Freedom and comfort were ours when we chose this Spirit 4 home away from home.
