Self Containment requirements when travelling in New Zealand

Updated over 4 months ago

What does Self Contained mean?

In New Zealand, self-containment refers to a vehicle, such as a campervan or motorhome, being equipped to manage waste independently for a specific timeframe without needing external facilities (such as rubbish removal, toilet and wastewater management).

Which Star RV Vehicles are Self Contained?

All of our Star RV vehicles are fully self-contained.

How do I know its Self Contained?

Each of our self contained vehicles have either a Blue or a Green certificate on them as they have been certified to meet the requirements of the self containment regulations.

There is a certificate, and a sticker which is displayed on your vehicle sample images as per below:

Why do some vehicles have a Blue or a Green Certificate?

From 7th December 2024, all vehicles will need to be certified with a green warrant to be certified self-contained under the new requirements.

The blue warrant is being phased out and so you may see some of our vehicles with this type of certificate until the new green certificates come into effect.
