The NZMCA Motorhome Caravan & Leisure Show in Christchurch is set to inspire new adventures along with fantastic savings, kicking off at Wolfbrook Arena on Saturday 16 May until Sunday 17 May.
As New Zealanders continue to embrace the freedom of the open road, this much-anticipated annual event brings together motorhomes, caravans, accessories, and outdoor lifestyle essentials in a vibrant showcase of innovation, show-only deals, and an incredible selection designed to suit everyone’s adventures.
Expect the best selection of your favourite motorhome and caravan brands in one place, so you can compare models, explore different layouts, and speak directly with leading manufacturers and dealers from across the country. From compact campers to luxury vehicles, there is something to suit every travel style and budget.
With new technology, clever design, and improved efficiency on display, it’s the ideal opportunity for anyone considering an upgrade or looking to purchase their first RV.
This year’s show has expanded, with a new outdoor layout, showcasing the dedicated accessories marquee in a spacious outdoor area filled with more exhibitors.
Visitors can explore everything from solar power solutions, cleaning products, and towing equipment to sheepskin covers, e-bikes, navigation tech, bedding, and ingenious gadgets designed to make life on the road even better. Whether you are fine tuning your current setup or planning your first big adventure, you’ll find plenty of inspiration.
Education and expertise are also a major part of the show. In the TrailLite Group Theatre, industry specialists will deliver informative and engaging sessions throughout the weekend. Look forward to practical advice on essential topics such as need to know before purchase, battery and power management, connectivity on the road, the importance of tyre pressure, diesel heating and TV while travelling. For newcomers and experienced travellers alike, these sessions are packed with insider insights designed to build confidence and elevate every adventure.
For those who like to take their time exploring, the show offers excellent value. Tickets are on sale now at just $17 for a single-entry pass. Visitors can also opt for a multiday/multiple-entry ticket for $29, allowing them to revisit exhibits, attend more seminars, or take a slower, more considered look at potential purchases.
Back by popular demand is the Event Park & Stay, giving self-contained RV owners the option to stay the weekend, just a short stroll away from the show, for only $60 per vehicle for the full weekend. Spaces are limited and you must book on the website: nzmotorhomeshow.co.nz. It’s a social, convenient, and fun way to experience the event – waking up right at the heart of the action.
