CAMPING THE KIWI WAY

New Zealand’s first wheelchair accessible campervan, CHARLY, will soon be available for hire.

Launched in January by Milner Mobility it has been designed and built by ACM Motorhomes with the assistance of wheelies, on an IVECO cab and chassis.

Charly means “free man” or “valiant” — giving wheelies the freedom to travel.

The No.1 condition was that the wheelie got to travel up front! It has an accessible bathroom, can be driven with hand controls, and has an hydraulic lift. 60% of each rental is donated to its sponsors CatWalk and the NZ Spinal Trust. More: Milner Mobility
