The Branch has a radio equipped caravan for special events & emergency communications. It is kept at the Civil Defence center where the Branch meets.

As part of the 1994 Branch 29 Diamond Jubilee Comemmoration it was decided to provide a Communicatins and Control caravan for emergency use by AREC and CD.

An appeal to North Shore City Mayor Paul Titchener resulted in the allocation of the worst of the redundant maintenance crews caravan. It was really rough and was largely re-built using donated material. It took a lot of hard work over several weeks by a dedicated team of volunteers directed by Norman ZL1FON and the whole-hearted support of the CDO to produce a caravan equiupped with HF, VHF, UHF, CB and packet radio which was handed over to the City towards the end of the year.

It carries a 2.5 kw petrol, electric generator set, a portable cross- band repeater, masts and antennas, and a large awning..There are operating positions for 4 operators and 2 controllers in the caravan. It has proved it's worth in two emergencies and several training exercises.
