ALL REASONABLE OFFERS CONSIDERED
READY FOR YOUR SUMMER HOLIDAYS AWAY
CLASSIC KIWI POP TOP Caravan
Early 1980's Model 3.8M 3 Berth
Aluminium Body
Professionally Sandblasted and Two_Pot Anti-Rust Epoxy, and top coat painted underneath by Supreme Blast and Paint, Palmerston North in August 2022: Cost $1,150
Just on 2 Meters high with pop top down: so can fit inside many garages and car ports
3.8 Meters long, and 2.3 Meters wide
Drawbar adds about another 1.1M
One rear single bed 1.8 X 0.6 Meters in size
Two front single beds 1.8 X 0.7 Meters in size
They can be turned into one double bed 1.8 X 1.4 Meters by installing the planks supplied into the gap between the single beds
Outside is mainly dent-free with just a few minor dents and marks but it will need repainting at some stage: some of the clearcoat is failing, but no rush as it has all aluminium body panels
The canvas top has the usual wear, but it is still in relatively good operating condition, and I have not had any leakage problems
The small mesh ventilation vent at the back of the top needs repairing
Tires in good condition, and comes with a brand new spare wheel
WOF Current to 27/07/24
EWOF Current to 01/04/26
Registration Current to 14/12/23, but will renew to 14/12/24 before sale
Old 3 way gas fridge removed, and replaced by a 240Volt electric fridge
The old fridge gas outlet needs to be capped off
Gas stove is still connected: but I have never used it
No gas bottle supplied
Plenty of cupboard and underbed storage space
Comes with a microwave, and an electric heater, fan, and toaster
Comes with mains cords to connect to Motor Camp Power, and to normal household power
Good mains powered lighting, and plenty of power points
Seems to have an awning and groundsheet etc. but I have never unpacked or used them
Light and easy to tow: my 1.8 Litre Mazda Van tows it with ease
Was re licensed in 2012, which is why I am unsure of its exact year of manufacture
Would be happy to email a copy of its Car Jam Report, and more photos if you like

Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.
What are some of your favourite ways to use leftover food from Christmas day? Share below.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
