FAQ Caravans

How do I convert my UK imported caravan to be self contained in New Zealand?

It depends on what equipment you already have installed in the caravan and what it comes with as to exactly what you will require. Another consideration is how many people you need the caravan self contained for?

Examples;

• If you already have a rollaway tank you will generally just need a UK caravan conversion kits including three waste traps for you existing plumbing outlets.
• If you do not have a rollaway tank or your tank is not big enough you may require the above kit with a 40 litre roll tank, or even a 75 litre waste tank (for up to six people).
• If you are unsure of you requirements give us a call to discuss.

Does my waste tank need a vent?

Yes all waste tanks whether they are fixed or portable need to be vented. The minimum size for the vent is 10mm in diameter (25mm recommended). The vent must extend to the flood line of the vehicle (the point that system would flood into vehicle if over filled) and finish outside.

What are the new green warrant toilet requirements?

To be certified self contained under the new green warrants, all vehicles require a toilet which is permanently fixed to the vehicle by the base and does not require removal to empty.
