Rear lounge motorhomes are ideal if you want a spacious indoor living area, comfortable seating and a flexible layout for longer South Island road trips.
Because SpringLight is based in Christchurch, these motorhomes are well suited to South Island itineraries starting from Christchurch, as well as longer New Zealand road trips where indoor space can make a big difference.
Who rear lounge motorhomes suit
- Travellers who want a comfortable indoor sitting area for evenings, rest days or mixed weather.
- Families or groups who want flexible living space as well as sleeping space.
- Couples who prefer a roomier layout over the smallest possible motorhome.
- Longer South Island trips where indoor comfort and storage matter.
Things to consider with rear lounge motorhomes
- A rear lounge can make the motorhome feel more open, especially when you are parked up for the evening.
- Some rear lounge layouts convert into a large rear bed. In Eleanor, Eleanor II and Astro, we can add an 8cm memory foam topper to make the rear bed more comfortable, which means it is usually best left made up as a bed if that is how you want to use the space.
- Rear lounge motorhomes are often larger than compact 2 berth layouts, but they can be much more comfortable on longer trips.
- If you specifically want a fixed bed with easy access from both sides, compare our island bed motorhomes too.
