Fabulous Frocks and Fantastic Fillies were the order of the day. Central Otago turned on a fantastic late Summer day, blue skies, a warm breeze and the going was good to firm.
On show were 3 fantastic Mobile Homes, 2 for sale and 1 for rent.

The Cromwell Races is the first show that all 3 vans have attended together, it was also the first show not orientated or dedicated to motorhomes or campervans and all 3 where very well received. This was a show case to introduce people to the idea of living in the great out doors in comfort and luxury and waking to a new view every morning.
People were interested to learn that driving a motorhome is just like driving a car, the ladies especially. This is due to Ducato having AL-KO, for those of us not mechanically minded, an Aluminum Chassis.
Fiat are the only manufacturer that make a vehicle specifically for the motorhome market and not adapted. Last year motorhome sales rose by 40% as people shied away from package holidays and invested in the future, as a result, manufacturers can not get chassis and cabs from Italy fast enough.
