Discover the Frankia Yucon: A New Era of Freedom and Comfort on the Road
In the world of adventure and travel, nothing beats the freedom of the open road. If you love exploring but want to keep some level of comfort, then the Frankia Yucon campervan is the ideal travelling partner. The Yucon, built with quality, powered by Mercedes-Benz and designed for life out of the ordinary, is enhancing the way we experience the road, in New Zealand and around the world.
Whether you are a weekend warrior or a full-time nomad, the Yucon has something very special to offer: a real home away from home, designed to save you money for that next trip, encased in German precision engineered just for your travels on Kiwi roads. let’s dig a little deeper and look at what makes the Yucon one of the most exciting motorhomes in New Zealand today.
Embrace Every Day Outdoors – With All the Comforts of Home
The true magic of the Yucon campervan is the balance afforded between the simplicity of the outdoors and the perks of indoor living. Picture waking up with waves crashing nearby, looking out your window to a brilliant blue ocean in your view and sipping your fresh coffee brewed from your open kitchen. That is everyday life in a Yucon.
From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with intelligent design, warm materials, and panoramic light from large skylights that blur the line between indoors and out. Every inch of this campervan is optimized to enhance your lifestyle on the road – whether you are chasing sunsets or stargazing in remote alpine valleys.
Built for Adventure: Powerful and Agile
The Yucon isn’t just beautiful – it is also capable, built for the real world. With rear-wheel drive (RWD) or 4×4 all-wheel drive (AWD) options, this van is about much more than just the highway! With a 190 horsepower Mercedes-Benz Sprinter engine, the Yucon will help you feel confident and reliable, whether you’re working through city traffic or going of road to find that perfect hidden campsite.
Equipped with AT tyres and a high ground clearance, the Yucon makes off-road detours less of a risk and more of a thrill. You’re not limited by what’s on the map, you are free to find your own path. That’s the spirit of a true New Zealand motorhome adventure.
Space, Light, and Clever Living
While the Yucon may look compact from the outside, its interior reveals a spacious and clever layout that makes long-term living effortless. The Yucon is offered in several configurations, including:
-
Yucon 7.0 GD RWD
-
Yucon K-Peak 6.0 BD with pop-up roof (4×4)
-
Yucon K-Peak 7.0 GD (4×4)
Each layout has been thoughtfully designed to make everyday life easier. You’ll find twin GD beds nearly 2 meters long, providing top-tier comfort after a day of adventure. The kitchen area is positioned to let you cook while enjoying the scenery, and the bathroom includes a shower, WC, and a mirrored cabinet — compact, but never cramped.

There’s seating for four, with a smart tabletop extension that makes it a perfect space for dining or working remotely. In the rear, an 85 cm-deep storage compartment ensures you have got room for bikes, hiking gear, or anything else your journey demands.
Big Features in a Compact Frame
You’d be surprised at just how much comfort and convenience is packed into a vehicle under 7 meters long. The Yucon campervan offers the kind of specs you’d expect from a much larger motorhome, including:
-
Fresh water capacity: 100L to allow for cooking, showering and cleaning on the run.
-
Compressor refrigerator: 69L volume – perfect for extended trips away.
-
Pop-up roof (on selected models): Increases your vertical space and gives you an extra sleeping area.
-
Max. laden weight: 4100 kg – durable enough to take everything you need.
Whether you are going it alone, traveling as a couple, or taking the whole family, there is a Yucon layout to suit your trip.
A Campervan for Every Kind of Traveller
What truly sets the Yucon apart from other campervans in New Zealand is its versatility. It’s just as suited for a long-haul road trip across the country as it is for a quick weekend escape. Want to explore the South Island’s rugged mountain passes? Go ahead. Fancy a few days parked up at a beach in the Coromandel? Easy.
And with its refined design, modern amenities, and luxury finishes, the Yucon doesn’t just transport you – it transforms the way you experience travel.
Interior Innovation Meets German Engineering
Once you step inside a Yucon, you are entering a space where function converges with form. Natural light pours into the living area; this is due to the skylights and intelligently placed windows. The soft-touch finishes and warm wood tones create a homely, welcoming atmosphere – while maintaining performance and durability.
The seating is ergonomic, the beds are plush, and the layout flows seamlessly. Need to recharge your laptop, phone, or camera? Multiple charging ports are available. Want to relax with a good book after a hike? The adjustable lighting and quiet insulation help you wind down, no matter where you are parked.
