Self Containment (Green Warrant)
Please note that we provide Self-Containment Certification for UK and European caravans only, and this service is only available to NZMCA members.
If you plan to freedom camp with your caravan, it will need a Green Warrant to certify that it is self-contained. This confirms that your caravan can operate independently without relying on external facilities for fresh water, wastewater disposal, or other essential services.
At Moutere Caravans, we stock everything needed to convert your UK or European caravan to meet New Zealand's self-containment requirements. We can professionally supply and install the required components, and if you're an NZMCA member, we can also carry out the Green Warrant certification for your caravan.
NZMCA Green Warrant Certification
If you are a member of the NZMCA we can inspect your caravan for a Green Warrant certification through the NZMCA. Our inspection fee is $90.00 (including GST). This fee covers the inspection only. If your caravan meets the required standards, the NZMCA will issue a separate invoice for the $120.00 Green Warrant Government/PGDB levy, which is payable directly to the NZMCA.
$90.00* *inspection cost only, price does not include $120 Government/PGDB levy.
Please note that the above costs do not include any parts that would be required or labour to install parts if the caravan is not yet up to standard. These are the costs of the inspection only. Exact parts required on a caravan can vary greatly depending on caravan model and components that the caravan is already equipped with (e.g fresh water tanks, grey water tanks, rubbish bin etc.). Generally speaking if your caravan was previously certified self contained under NZS 5465:2001 and has a fixed toilet, your caravan should require little to no modification to pass a Green Warrant Certification.
