Camper vans were among the mobile homes and caravans on show or for sale in Ashburton last weekend.
More than 200 social campers and 62 private sellers gathered at the Ashburton Showgrounds to trade up, or out, or find new fittings and toys for their mobile homes.
While the campers came from all over New Zealand, a good crowd of Ashburton people also checked out the mobile home lifestyle, and other holiday equipment ranging from ebikes to camp chairs.
Organisers said they were pleased at the turnout, which raised funds for charitable purposes and supported local people and projects.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand also put on a special fire safety demonstration and provided survival tips, which was educational for all.
