Lions Club of Ashburton South Island Motorhome Show

The South Island Motorhome Show is a not to be missed motor-caravanning event, held annually in Ashburton.

This is the ultimate event for those interested in purchasing a new or used motorhome or caravan, looking to sell an existing motorhome or caravan, wishing to purchase accessories for a present or future vehicle or just wanting to look at ‘what’s new in the marketplace’ and socialise with like-minded people.

Members of the New Zealand Motor Caravan Association can also have compliance certificates updated on site by authorised agents.

Members of the public, trade exhibitors and others associated with the event are encouraged to take their time and have fun savouring the vehicles and accessories on site.

The aim of the event is to showcase what is available within the New Zealand Motorhome Industry and associated Trades.
Buy, sell, or view vehicles, or just enjoy the atmosphere at the show. Commercial and private sellers, camping equipment, food stands and fun!

Social campers are welcome to make an overnight weekend of this fantastic annual event.

The Lions Club of Ashburton is proud to bring you this event. All profits of the South Island Motorhome Show are distributed in our town and community through our Club’s Charitable Foundation.

Social Campers (Motorhome owners) are an integral component of the show and spend money in the town. Approximately 200 motorhomes attend each year (400 people) of which many stay longer than the weekend in the District. The Club publicises to social campers and other visitors local attractions in the Ashburton area that are worth visiting. These include the Ashburton Aviation Museum, Ashburton Art Gallery, Ashburton Museum, Plains Railway and Village, Ashburton Fire Museum, Farmers Market along with the many cafes and restaurants in Ashburton. There are also lots of points of interest in the surrounding area eg Ashburton Lakes, Methven, Geraldine and some good fishing spots.
