We love them and based on the number we saw cruising around so does everyone else. There are droves of them driving around and unlike the USA's penchant for lane hogging converted buses most of these are small very cleverly designed vehicles as small as minivans even. They offer the convenience of not having to book hotels, the freedom of pulling over for a hot lunch anywhere, and th e ideal of camping wherever you feel like it (unless you get kicked out of the lakeside no camping area at five am at Wanaka). We'll never look at a Toyota minivan the same.
