EDITOR’S LETTER
W
elcome to the September issue of Motorhomes, Caravans & Destinations magazine. As we go to print, we are once again in Level 4, and it all feels frustratingly déjà vu. But what we do know is that we’ll get through it together. We all want to enjoy unrestricted travel in summer and to spend time with family and friends over the holiday season. So let’s keep ourselves safe, stay focussed on the good times ahead, and start thinking about the next travel adventure.
IN THIS ISSUE
THE HAMILTON MOTORHOME SHOW
GET THE LATEST
Originally planned for September, the NZMCA Motorhome, Caravan & Leisure Show at Mystery Creek in Hamilton has been postponed and is now due to take place over the three days of 15-17 October. The show is THE place to visit if you’re in the market for your first RV, upgrading to a new one, or looking for the latest and greatest accessories. Read more about what you can expect this year on page 14, and stay updated by visiting nzmotorhomeshow.co.nz.
We’ve got another great selection lined up for you, with loads of inspiring travel stories. If you’re heading to Hamilton for the show, you’ll find plenty of suggestions for what to see and do in the region while you’re there – see our two Waikato features on page 22 and 34. We also have a intriguing story about Katherine Mansfield House in Wellington, plus stories from Wānaka, Lake Waikaremoana, and more.
Can’t wait for your next issue of MCD? We’ve got a few ways to help you get your RV travel fix between our monthly issues.
