[ Manufacturer ] Maxmo
Maxmo is launching an exciting new range of campervans tailored for the South African market. These products were designed as multipurpose vehicles for touring, camping, sport, adventures and various other outdoor activities.
Leon Ras, the owner of Maxmo, says that he grew up around motorhomes, caravans, cabin cruisers and aeroplanes. In the 60’s, his dad bought an old Bedford mobile bank and converted it into a motorhome – out went everything but the bulletproof glass, and in went the stove, sink, fridge and beds for the whole family.
They travelled extensively and visited almost thirty countries, which were all influential in Leon's understanding of trends in the global leisure markets.
In the US, Germany, France, Spain and Italy, Leon saw that campervans (or Class B, as the Americans say) form one of the fastest-growing segments.
They are smaller and easier to drive, can be parked in a normal parking lot, and are also more discreet in design than the bigger motorhomes.
