Yep we brought ours over 2 years ago, no problems, it went into a 40ft container with our household things. Best thing we ever did as worth so much more here, and used it plenty. Now on the move across the ditch, and will sell the van and hopefully make a bob or two

Re: Taking your Caravan to NZ
We brought our out with a company called upakweship they were great, we also brought a car and other stuff through them later on, there email is [email protected] he is really nice and helpful and it cost us 2000 pounds. when it arrived here Maf steam cleaned it for 220 Dollars and the plugs needed to be changed electrician done it, as he has to sign it off so you cant do it yourself $200.
Never looked back tell them you will clear it at customs yourself really easy saves more money an hour it is all done and we loaded the van with lots of shopping and Maf were amused at the walkers crisps and gravy granules.
Hope that helps
