After looking at many motorhomes / campervans we visited Shane at Walkabout to view their selection of homes, we were very impressed with the open plan of the 6 berth and the very high quality of the finish inside and out.
We had looked at Fiat, Mercedes and Ford but we were sold on the Mitsubishi Fuso based on our own reviewing and feedback from people in the transport industry.
Whilst we blew out our budget and bought the low km 2008 Fuso 6 berth we are very pleased with the investment and are very proud owners, you would not know that this motorhome has been a rental. The whole vehicle is in immaculate condition.
During the pre purchase period Shane replaced the front tyres without question and followed up with a new DVD player which was on order at the time of purchase.
Shane was very pleasant and professional with the entire purchasing process and follow-up , I would have no hesitation in recommending Walkabout Sales.

Shona and I have owned several motor homes over the past twenty years, and  recently purchased  one from the Auckland office of your company Walkabout Sales.

We shopped around several companies before coming to you, and had all but decided on another. However Shane was just so friendly and helpful, and the vehicle he showed and consequently sold us was the best value for money we came across in our search..We know we have made the right decision and  look forward to a long and happy relationship with  Walkabout, and our new vehicle.

This letter is totally unsolicited.

Dear Walkabout Sales
As first time Motor home owners Beverley and I were concerned at making the right decision about our purchase. We pursued the net, looked at for sales yards and visited several private For Sale Motor homes. It wasn't until we discovered Walkabout Sales .Shane that we felt comfortable with making a decision. Shane sat down with us for over 2hrs and went through all sorts of scenarios of what we needed and how he could help, it was for us very assuring to have a real genuine person whom we had just met giving us un bias advise on such a large capital investment. We certainly have NO regrets with the purchase we subsequently made. We purchased a  Mitsubishi  Fuso 6 berth Motor home because of the décor, the roomy layout and the practicality of the whole home! (The grand kids just love the D V D).Everything Shane promised was done, even down to the delivery time and date.Since delivery we have had several text messages and emails just as follow up by Shane to see if things are all well. We have only owned our Motor home for 3 weeks and already are realising the opportunities that a Motor home gives us. Thanks Shane for selling us a product that we know will serve us well and we feel that we have made a great friend that is truly genuine. Keep up the good work,

We  purchased a 2006 6 berth Motorhome from Walkabout Sales in June 2009. Although we had a caravan over 20yrs ago this was our first venture into a Motorhome. We had spent around 8mths looking at all the options and reading up and talking with friends about the pro's and con's of all the options. Then we stumbled across Walkabout and were persuaded by Shane that we should take a look at what he could offer. Although we took another few weeks to actually take up his offer to visit, our minds were made up instantly with what we saw and Shane's relaxed manner. This Motorhome met all our major criteria like, Japanese motor, outside lockers, 2 tables, king bed, and space, space, space.Shane then delivered it to Napier and negotiated the tight parking area with ease. We found Shane extremely easy to work with, giving honest advice and sound reasoning.To those looking for a Motorhome I would advise them to check out Walkabout Sales before buying as you may be pleasantly surprised by how much they have to offer. We have a solar panel which is Great
All in all a great deal, thanks Shane at Walkabout .

*As owners of a new Walkabout Motor Home we have much pleasure in writing to you .
Right from day one when we first met Shane and viewed a 6 berth Motorhome we have been most impressed by his honesty,integrity,professionalism and friendly manner. During the whole process of our Motorhome construction Shane kept us up to date on progress. We were able to choose our own colour scheme which makes it personal to us and no matter how busy shane was he always returned our calls and went out of his way to accommodate our fussy requests. We can Vouch for the workmanship of the Motorhome it is of the highest quality throughout and we are proud to show off at every opportunity. We wish shane and his Walkabout Sales Team every success in the future .

* It has been our pleasure to have chosen to buy our 1st ever motorhome through WALKABOUT  SALES & to have had dealings with shane. we had absolutely no experience in motor-homing but he showed much patience & a mass of information that made us feel quite comfortable to trust him & his advice to the point that after many questions we bought our brand new motor home from his company. since our purchase shane has shown great interest in how we have made progress in our adventure into camper-vanning firstly in the 10 mth journey in the S.I, & now our trip to aussie. walkabout & shane have provided freely information in problem solving & have been able to advize us on great buying on xtra additions we have added to our original  purchase. any new motor homer would be well advized to talk to shane who has untold knowledge about vehicles & there accessories. both my partner & i feel we have got a great relationship with him & his company that will last a long time.

*  After 8 months of researching and inspecting many campervans all around Auckland region, and discussing options with many sales people we finally found a refreshing, no nonsense approach at Walkabout Rentals.  The website provides a detailed summary of the products on offer and what you see is what you get.  A good quality, well built camper that can stand the rigors of a family of five, easily.  What you don't see from its website is the comprehensive and knowledgeable benefits from the Walkabout team.  Other sales people were just looking to sell a product, Walkabout Rentals were seeking to pass on much more and proved why you should buy NZ made.  Shane knew we would appreciate seeing the camper at our place to work out if it would fit in when we finally bought it.  He turned up on time with a well presented vehicle.  We had a detailed explanation of all the features and being new to this side of the industry; (we are seasoned campers and caravanners) we were treated to any in depth explanation of the merits and an honest representation of the sometimes disadvantages of owning a camper (very few).  The test drive proved how easily we could handle the vehicle.  All questions were answered openly and honestly. After buying our 6 berth the camper we found the masses of storage coped with all our fishing, kayaking, swimming and barbecuing needs on our three week outing around the north island.  The vehicle easily handled the trip all the way up to Cape Reinga.  The twin table seating options at each end give plenty of space for everyone.  The sleeping configuration is great.  The shower/toilet is adequate and when popped out the bathroom window provides a nice outdoor shower after the remote beach visits.    And who says you can't take it with you.  Following Walkabout's advice on the camper frame we were able to get a roof-rack, ladder, awning and bike rack added.  With a solar panel on the roof who needs electric hook up!Our thanks to Walkabout and Shane in particular.  All your efforts and assistance have been much appreciated.  Walkabout are certainly highly recommended.

*  Having recently taken delivery of one of your latest six berth Luxury motorhomes . We wish to thank you for your excellent service in supplying it delivered almost to our home ,also in the way you have built it and fitted out the vehicle to such a very high standard. The features are almost to numerous to mention & us having had two previous motorhomes  & done extensive research we found that Walkabout Campers was best suited to our needs , especially the extensive exterior lockers , & most important for extended motorhoming . Once again we thank you for your excellent service to us -

*  Just a quick note to say a big thank you to all your team , we recently arrived in nz , and wanted a late model spacious motorhome ,with 2 single beds at the rear  and was very impressed with your Mitsubishi Fuso 6 berth ,as we had a 4 berth swift  Kontiki in UK , but it was very cramped , we did not want to do the 4 berth thing every night ,make the bed up ,so we decided to buy a 2007 model . This RV  is so easy to drive , and so spacious  , we thankyou for delivering it to us  , and for the bottle of wine , pleasure doing business  .

* Dear  Walkabout
Now that our fine weather has returned, I have been able to go over the camper more thoroughly, after purchasing it at the beginning of July  08, And we have been very impressed with the overall standard, especially under the couches etc, where obviously  Walkabout took the time to impart into the vehicle a standard of workmanship that is rarely seen these days. Again, thanks very much for your personal touch  Shane , and for the chopping board, which Lyn thinks she will frame, rather than use it.
