GRAVELROADER

The new Bush Lapa Gravelroader caravan, built for comfort and convenience

- Corne Greeff

Bush Lapa are well known for their off-road trailers and caravans and, to celebrate their 10th anniversary, they recently launched their first brand-new caravan. The Bush Lapa Gravelroader.

Built particularly with the family lifestyle in mind, this caravan has been designed for easy camping, offering comfort and convenience. It most definitely takes camp life to the next level.

Unpacking and setting up camp with an off-road trailer can take time, fact! Recognising this gap in their range, Bush Lapa realised there was a need for an off-road caravan that could be set up quickly and easily. One that doesn’t come with tents, outside showers, poles, and canvas, all of which requires a lot of time and effort to locate, unpack, and set up. And so, their new Gravelroader was born – a four sleeper model with an inside bathroom and spacious accommodation. It is a caravan that can be unhitched at your chosen destination and, once the corner steadies are down, is ready for living in.

The Gravelroader has a 400mm ground clearance and can be towed on any rough gravel road. It is equipped with tandem, rubberised independent axels and four wheels (including a spare) making it not only easier to tow but safer should one experience two flat tyres. The ‘dry’ weight (including the weight of the 150-litre stainless steel water tank, spare wheel, solar panels, and batteries) is 1 740kg. And, unlike Henry Ford’s Model T that was only available in black, you can choose what colour you prefer – white, grey, khaki, or green.
