From an earlier thread on which I posted:
With 16y experience of the same van, we only met one other Rapido 925M: St Neots CCC site.

A guy was busy using VIM to clean the flies etc off the fibreglass bonnet .

Turned out that he was Australian and had done a MH swop

He wanted to get it into prime condition for the returning owners

I'm not suggesting that ALL antipodeans will do such things: perhaps you might need to make it a clause in your swop?

PAUL This may help for New Zealand ONLY. I have no knowledge of Australia.

There are two schemes I am aware of.
A private (NZ ONLY) scheme www.shareacamper.co.nz.
A Commercial one www.mighway.com/nz run by THL and Thor industries.

and you could also try NZMCA.org.nz this is the main motorhome club in NZ
they may have some help there.

I have swapped three time in New Zealand over the last six years and all in all have been happy, have found the Motorhomes in New Zealand more basic than our A class but perfectly suited for the use their,
Definitely join NZMCA ,money well spent and if you are a member of one of our clubs you get a good discount,
I made sure our swapping has been with similar aged and experienced motor home owners, fabulous country to visit and travel in, good luck with your trip,
