New Zealand’s only wheelchair friendly motorhome available to buy will be a feature at New Zealand’s largest annual motorhome, caravan and outdoor expo, the Covi SuperShow that opens on Friday next week. 

“An Avida Esperance WSL motorhome has been designed for wheelchair access, it hasn’t just been altered,” Sales Manager for the ALM Group Raewyn Pegden said.

“It has been modified to cater for wheelchairs while retaining all the usual innovative and luxury features of an Avida Esperance motorhome. It has an extra wide entrance door, an electric wheelchair hoist and extra wide floor space to cater for a wheel chair; it opens up a new life for a lot of people.”

Although motorhomes for disabled people were available for hire in New Zealand Pegden said the modified Avida Esperance was the first available to purchase and own. It has a retail value of $233,326.

“The Avida Esperance is our most popular motorhome at the ALM Group so to have it as a wheelchair version is absolutely fantastic and we are looking forward to having it on display at the Covi SuperShow.”  

The leading motorhomes, caravans and accessories from New Zealand and around the world will all be at the Covi SuperShow that opens for three days at Auckland’s ASB Showground on Friday the 16th of March.
