Internal sleeping option
- Designed to use on colder nights
- A comfortable full size double bed in under 10 seconds set up
- A well insulated vehicle to keep you warmer
- The clever layout means there is no need to rearrange the interior to get to your belongings
Only Spaceships have two sleeping options allowing you to sleep inside (with the back door closed), or sleep outside by extending the bed into the rear awning (for 30% more space and ventilation on those hot summer nights). To set up: Simply swivel the rear seat around to face the back door, set up the internal bed legs (provided for free) then sit the bed extension on top. This takes under 10 seconds and is a great option for the winter months.
External sleeping option - extend the bed under the rear awning on warmer nights
- 30% more space and ventilation
- fantastic option for those hot summer nights
- A comfortable full size double bed set up in less than 10 seconds
- Rear bed extension also acts as a great table or seat
- Waterproof rear awning provided
This is a great sleeping option, especially in the summer months. All you have to do is extend the bed out the back by using the same bed extension as the internal option, then fit the rear awning. This takes 30 seconds and provides a fully enclosed waterproof sleeping option with 30% more space and great ventilation. A large insect screened window is included which can be zipped up or left down for increased ventilation.
Portable dual burner cooker (with large side awning)
- Means you can have a pot and pan going at the same time
- Comes with one free gas canister
- Large side awning provides protection from the sun and the rain while cooking
- Space for table and chairs combo under the side awning
A customised cooker stand is provided that sets up in seconds. This provides an external platform to cook from. Alternatively you can set your portable cooker up on picnic tables in campgrounds. We sell additional gas canisters for only $10 (normal retail over $12) A complete cooking kit is provided along with utensils and a 20 litre water container.
Self charging dual battery system (up to 24 hours battery life)
- Charges automatically as you drive
- Powers the stereo, DVD player, Fridge and internal lights
- Don't need to pay for a powered campsite each night
All Spaceships are set up with two batteries. One battery starts the engine and the second battery powers the accessories. This allows you to operate the fridge/freezer and watch a DVD while the engine is not running - this will run the auxiliary battery down but the Spaceship will always start on the other battery, and then self-charge as you drive.
This means you save money as you do not have to pay for powered sites each night like you would in an ordinary campervan or motorhome to charge your vehicle.
Seat-belted seating for 3-4
- One baby or booster seat can be used (baby must be older than one)
- Two adults can fit in the back seat but it will be cozy
There is seat-belted seating for four people but the back seat will be cozy with two adult men. The back seat has a tilt adjustment to recline the seat to watch a movie or have a snooze whilst on the road. It is also on a runner in the floor so it can be adjusted depending on the leg room required.
DVD/CD player, AM/FM radio and iPod cord
- Surround sound speaker system
- DVD exchange with any other Spaceships
- Swap DVDs at any of our 30 Space Stations
Your Spaceship comes fitted with a quality CD/DVD/MP3 player with a 18cm screen. There is a surround sound system with 4 speakers plus an ipod/Mp3 cord fitted so you can cruise and listen to your favourite music with great sound.
The DVD player is very popular especially when the weather isn't that great - other campers will be very envious when they see you curled up, enjoying your DVD player! You can exchange your DVDs at any of our Space Stations plus with other Space Travellers as well - if you see another Spaceship just go up and say hi and swap DVDs (you never know you might meet some new travelling buddies!)
Large lockable rear storage area
- Lockable space for two large soft backpacks
- Easy access with rear awning up via a new awning design
- Separate internal storage accessible from the side doors
- Space for cooking gear, dry foods and daypacks
The main storage is accessed from the back and can securely store two large soft backpacks. We have improved the rear awning by including a large zip down area so you can access the rear storage compartment with the awning still on. The internal storage area is where the cookers, cutlery and cooking equipment are stored and offers space for dry food storage. Once again you do not have to re arrange the interior for day and night time use.
15 litre fridge/freezer
- Quality fridge/freezer with enough room for a 6 pack and some food
- Enough room for a bottle of wine and some food
- Or a 6 pack and some food
A quality Engel fridge/freezer is provided. This unit is highly reliable and will actually keep your food chilled like a normal fridge. The Beta offers the most fridge space, which saves you money in the long run as you can buy more for less at the supper markets and store it for longer. Plus it keeps those all-important beers and wine cool. The perfect treat after a big day exploring!
Unique 3 in 1 swivel seat design for internal seating, eating and sleeping
TThe swivel seat in a Spaceship performs three functions, which are unique to Spaceships.
1. Driving mode: The seat can face forward in the driving position and seat one person with a shoulder belt. This enables a child seat or booster seat to be fitted if required. We cannot cater for babies under the age of one.
2. Eating mode: The seat can then swivel and face out the slide door and you can set up a table, play your free Spaceship cards or cook and eat dinner.
3. Sleeping mode: Finally you can swivel the seat to face the back door and extend the bed internally for sleeping with the back door shut (bed legs are included for free, and they only take about 10 seconds to set up).
Automatic transmission (easy to drive)
- Very easy to drive
- Big windscreen for great driving experience
- Great fuel economy
The comfort, driving pleasure and stability of the new Beta Spaceship is truly brilliant. They are perfectly suited to New Zealand's rural back roads, hills and cities. New features of the Beta Spaceship over the Alpha include: Air bags, four cup holders, more spacious driver's area, better storage, new and even spacier console design, dual slide doors, smoother gear changes, more power and better fuel economy (saving $5 - $10 per day) In keeping with all Spaceships they are fun, safe and easy to drive.
