New Zealand abounds in recreational opportunities and scenic beauty, while the excellent roads and friendly inhabitants make travel by motorhome the ideal way to view the country's splendors. New Zealand by Motorhome is bursting with practical advice on renting or buying a motorhome in New Zealand, driving and insurance regulations, campgrounds and facilities, and a helpful glossary of the occasionally mystifying New Zealand dialect.
