Re: Motorhome in NZ Posted on: Tue, 22 Mar 2005 19:19:19 +1200

I could be snowing by May, so your idea of a 4x4 was good. Motels are cheap
in the off season, and have much nicer hot showers and electric blankets. A
Subaru 4x4 wagon will be fast and safe in wet weather. Even if not snowing,
it will be wet some days.
