If style is what sets your pulse racing, then this new breed of gravel-roader – the Okto Gravellor – is just for you.Based on the award-winning Okto (winner of Best Caravan stand at the recent 4x4 Expo show), the Gravellor has the exact same floorplan. The only difference being, it has been given a dose of steroids, beefed up for trundling down dusty, potholed country roads for camping in exotic and exciting places.
Mind you, it would be equally at home gracing the lush, green grass lawns of an upmarket caravan resort as it would looking out from the base of the stark, gigantic granite Bloedkop campsite in Namibia’s Naukluft park.
What sets the Okto apart from other caravans is interior space, of which there is considerably more. What many people may not know is that this pop-top roof not only lifts up higher than most other pop-top caravans on the market, but that it is also wider.
To get this feeling of airiness, the pop-top roof locates much closer to the side walls, so there is less of a ledge on the lower roof line. This, coupled with an increase in roof height, creates a noticeable feeling of interior space.
Using the Cabana layout means that after a day’s driving, there is a comfortable island bed up-front beckoning you to relax and take a nap.
