New Zealand’s largest annual motorhome, caravan and outdoor expo, the Covi NZMCA Insurance Motorhome, Caravan & Outdoor SuperShow, will be even bigger next year with more marquee space and more travel and destination information.

The dates for next year’s show will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday the 17th, 18 and 19th of March with organizers again keen to build on another very successful show in 2016.

The motorhome, caravan and outdoor expo will be held again at Auckland’s ASB Showgrounds in Greenlane with organisers looking to  expand  the space in hall one with an additional marquee and adding to the destinational information in the popular Stop n Stay zone.

Brent Gillies from organisers’ Spot On Exhibitions said they had to look at options for more space as a response to even more exhibitors wanting to attend the show and that over 60 percent of visitors to this year’s show wanted to see more information on travel destinations and visitor attractions.

“We just had such a fantastic show in March again this year,” Gillies said. “The demand from motorhome and caravan industry exhibitors – both big and small – was so strong this year we had to add additional space with the  800 square metre  Smart RV Pavilion being erected making the outside area much larger than ever before; but we will need to go bigger again next year.”

“We had over 18,000 people through the gates which was slightly up on the record numbers we had last year cementing the show’s position as the largest annual motorhome and caravan exhibition in New Zealand. Exhibitors experienced good sales and we had great feedback from visitors attending but we have to keep improving and learning from each year’s show.”

Gillies says exclusive highlights for March next year will include another ‘fantastic gate prize’ that is still under wraps  but will be the  equal to this year’s four week motorhome holiday in the UK and Europe courtesy of RV Super Centre.

“We were really encouraged with the fantastic support we received from the motorhome community North of  Taupo but also with  the growing number of visitors attending  from around the country making the Covi SuperShow a truly national event”

The Covi SuperShow features the best motorhomes, caravans and accessories from New Zealand and around the world with a number of exhibitors choosing to exclusively launch new models and products at the show each year. The show also has a $10,000 Covi Cashback prize with anyone purchasing a vehicle over $30,000 eligible to win.
