Which JUCY Vehicles are Self Contained?

Our JUCY Condo+, Cruiser and JUCY Chaser, Chill'd 6 by JUCY are our fully self-contained campers.

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.

Where can I camp in New Zealand?

We want to show you some of the best spots to camp in NZ, so we have worked with our partners to bring you one of the most comprehensive camping maps available.

This interactive map shows almost every free and paid camping facility in New Zealand and provides extensive information about each location.

We suggest staying in New Zealand’s awesome and well-equipped Holiday Parks or Department of Conservation campgrounds. There are also plenty of areas around the country to camp, just make sure where you park up is one of the designated sites.
