A gas leak is believed to be the reason for a campervan explosion that seriously injured a man near Taupo.
Ambulance and fire services received the call to the Rapids Road Equestrian Centre just before 11 last night.
A fire communications spokeswoman says firefighters put out a small fire in the campervan.
She says the man was treated for serious burns and taken to Waikato Hospital.
