Adventure Xtreme Trailers

Available in Standard or Deluxe models, and two- or four-berth

There are now so many off-road trailers on the market, it reminds me of the world’s biggest ‘caravan’ show, the Caravan Salon in Dusseldorf, Germany. There, they have over 500 different manufacturers with caravans on display. How anybody makes up their minds on what to buy is a mystery. Remember, every caravan, motorhome, and trailer is based on a box shape, yet there are so many to choose from. Just google adventure trailers and you will see what I mean.

So, like there are horses for courses, there are trailers for … well, trailer owners, all offering differing layout options that suit a particular camper’s needs.

Individual needs are unique, so what is different about Adventure Extreme’s new offering? For me it was probably the slide-out bed that makes this two-berth model different from most others. I also liked the thick, comfortable mattress that suggests the possibility of a good night’s sleep when camping.

The Adventure Extreme operates on either 220V resort power or 12V with a two-burner gas stove and gas hot water heater, supplied by a 70-litre water tank. There are two models to choose from in this range, a 2-berth or 4-berth, depending on the size of the family and both models are available in standard or deluxe trim.

The Adventure Xtreme 2-berth sells for R199 999 for the Standard model and R242 000 for the Deluxe version.

The Xtreme is built on a galvanised steel chassis and has an aluminium body with a rugged, black-coated checker plate front, and smooth aluminium sides and underside. The roof is also aluminium and incorporates a clam-shell hinged roof design that lifts at one end for added interior height.

The clam-shell roof differs in that on the two-berth model it hinges from the rear wall giving less headroom where it is not needed i.e. over the bed, and more room over the stand-up area. On the 4-berth model it hinges from the off-side wall.
