The pedals are the same as the US
Last time I went most RVs were manual shift.
Very few STOP signs. Mostly Yield signs and roundabouts out side of Auckland.
The first few days pay attention how the car in front of you goes through the roundabouts and learn.
Be careful of the ONE lane bridges. Be ready to stop and obey the yield sign.
A short tap on the horn is usually a thank you.
I love the Kiwis 5X more than the Ozzies.
Go around the islands Clockwise..... Easier to turn into ocean side parking lots.
The speed limit is 62 MPH, slow down and enjoy.
