Tales from those who have commanded our fleet across the wild landscapes of New Zealand.
"Truly, I cannot recommend Kronos Adventure Camper Vans enough!! My partner and I rented Demetri for our NZ road trip and we had the most amazing time and would 1000% do it again! The guys made sure we were kitted out and had all of the essentials we would need along the way for our month long adventure! They also stayed in touch with us and any time we needed them, they were just a phone call away! We became fast friends and loved chatting with them and are stoked to see their business thrive!"

"I genuinely don’t think there’s anyone doing van builds to the standard that Sam is. He really listened and brought my vision to life down to every tiny detail and the result was better than I could have imagined myself. So much niche knowledge about every detail of what goes into van builds well beyond carpentry, genuine value for money when it comes to expertise offered. The workmanship is beautiful and thoughtfully designed. And the added knowledge from actually living in vans himself comes through in every decision he makes, the way everything functions and makes sense only comes from really knowing what van life actually needs to be. Couldn’t recommend him more highly, absolute legend."

"Got in touch with Sam about helping getting my van up to scratch before I left new zealand after seeing the builds he’s done with Kronos. He was super helpful at explaining the steps for getting my van from a fairly mediocre condition to being a top of the line camper. I invested abit of money on his expertise and materials and we managed to double the value of my camper on the market, get it passed the WOF and got a deposit on it within 1 day for a price I was immensely stoked on. He’s a great guy and his experience around camper builds is blatantly obvious!"
Tom Chishti Read Full Review ❯"We got Sam from Kronos Adventure Campervan rentals to do some updates on our current van build (done by van lifer, a well established company). However they lacked the sight to make the van practical, this is where Sam came in and helped transform our van into a livable space that we enjoy so much more ! We are so happy with the work the Sam has done on our van and would recommend him to any that are looking to do van updates or even kitting out your van completley through him ! Sam is someone that has actually lived in a van and I can see that in the exceptional work that he does. Furthermore he is a great happy guy to work with super friendly and happy to fill in any questions that might arrive! Once again thank you to Kronos for the professional work, there awesome character and for giving my van a second life!"
