BUY PDF CONTENTS 6 Summer 2023 Up Van tour of the op shops Up Bette Cosgrove Not only do we love freedom camping, we’re also keen on finding great charity recycle shops to purchase anything we need. So my vintage-clothes-obsessed daughter and I did a wee roadie in ‘A Van Called Wanda’ and filled her with treasures, found on the west coast, lower North Island. We freedom camped all the way. So it was a great way to spend some mother daughter time doing what we both love. Adding to the vintage wardrobe collection and finding top spots to camp. Heres a summary of all the places we found and the fabulous spots to camp along the way. Map images show the op shops we found. Ōtaki First stop on the new expressway out of Wellington was the Ōtaki River mouth — right on the beach is great. Part of the Kapiti District Council responsible camping site network. ckw.nz/kapiti-freecamp Down Mill Road there are three great charity stores run by lovely local volunteers and plenty of $2 bargains to be found. Ōtaki has 3 opshops, Main St Otaki, down Mill Road. Plenty of on-street parking. Large vehicles can park in the carpark behind the shops. Toilets are in the library and the park beside Little Theatre. Levin Levin has a great selection of opshops trailing along the main highway on both sides, and if you need to stay over, freedom camping is available during summer at Kimberley Reserve. We passed through Levin heading north and picked up some excellent deals along the way. ckw.nz/horowhenua-kimberley Levin has 8 opshops & Save Mart. Most along Main St (SH1). Parking behind the shops on east or west sides. Whanganui Whanganui is opshop heaven with 4 great stores in the central city and three suburban shops worth seeking out on Google Maps. We spent a lovely night at the Barrage Road site beside Virginia Lake which was perfect for a morning walk and spending time with the birds in the lovely aviary. There are several great places to free camp here thanks to Whanganui Council and because there are many opshops plus a SaveMart you could stay a couple of nights in different places. ckw.nz/whanganui-freecamp Whanganui has 8 opshops plus Save Mart. Mostly in the Victoria St area. Easy parking, weekdays. Worth visiting the suburban stores. Hawera Hawera is a great little town in the South Taranaki District where there are a good selection of free sites to camp. We enjoyed the dramatic coastal spot only 6 min from town at Waihi Beach Reserve with shelter belts and accessible toilet. This site accesses the dramatic Coastal Walk from a historic pa site and it was the perfect backdrop for a crazy photo shoot of the 80s classic wedding dress my daughter couldn’t resist in Gonville, Whanganui. ckw.nz/south-tara-freecamp Hawera has 4 great opshops along High St, Hawera. Parking & toilet off Little Regent St with walkway to shops. Returning home Returning home via the Kāpiti Coast, there were quite a few opshops in Waikanae Village, Paraparaumu and Raumati. Our favourite spot to overnight on the way home was the beautiful, North Waikanae Beach, Field Way site next to Waimeha Stream. Our van was packed full of treasures by then. ckw.nz/kapiti-freecamp Up Up ​ Click on the gallery for a full size view van-opshop_171639_mw.webp The Waihi Beach Reserve site accesses the dramatic Coastal Walk from a historic pa site and it was the perfect backdrop for a crazy photo shoot of the 80s classic wedding dress my daughter couldn’t resist in Gonville, Whanganui.

Well the holiday season is almost upon us and nearly here, and everyone will be getting their caravans, motorhomes and boats checked to make sure everything is operational. I f you plan to use campgrounds in your travels, be aware that they require a current EWOF before you can plug in to power. It is important to get your caravans, motorhomes and boats checked and certified for electrical safety, to comply with “AS/NZS 3001 Electrical Installations — Transportable structures and vehicles, including their site supplies”. The electrical warrant of fitness certification (EWOF), is issued by a registered electrical inspector, with a current NZ Practising Licence (issued by the Electrical Workers Registration Board). The EWOF is valid for a period of 4 years from the date of issue. The electrical assessments cover earthing, polarity, insulation resistance, socket outlet testing, circuit protection evaluation, & water proofing & possible ingress into power supply plugs & sockets/cords etc. Both your vehicle and your power cord are checked. There is a charge for the EWOF service. Costs vary, depending on the location of you and the inspector and may include travel charges. Arthur How does EWOF inspections in Foxton, Manawatu.
