Showtime!

Held over the weekend of September 21–23, the NZMCA Motorhome Caravan and Leisure Show enjoyed fantastic weather, record crowds, and over 1200 motorhomes came to stay in the Event Park and Stay area, some for just one night while others took advantage of the opportunity and stayed for three days and explored all that nearby Hamilton had to offer.

This show has always been popular, being held in spring when people start turning their thoughts to summer road trips, upgrading or buying their first RV, be it a caravan, motorhome, camper, trailer or tent.

This show was the second with the NZMCA as the naming rights partner to the long-running event, the first being the July Christchurch show earlier this year. The event organisers, Classic Events, thanked and acknowledged their new naming rights partner, the NZMCA, as their support proved instrumental in this weekend being the most successful September show yet, and they look forward to a long and happy partnership with the NZMCA and the RV industry.

Organisers say the growth of the show meant the pavilion was sold out months in advance, requiring them to build the ‘Off the Beaten Track’ marquee, which housed the Destination Zone as well
