A TEARDROP CARAVAN? Do we really need another one? Well yes, possibly. Quite a few models in this admittedly niche market have featured on these pages in the past months, it’s true. But there are some things about this one, which made its UK debut at the Caravan, Motorhome and Holiday Show in Manchester back in January, that make it worth exploring. Not least its country of origin – South Africa.
Pitch and set-up
Vagabond was established in Durban in 2009, and has already been exporting its trailers to other countries with similarly rugged terrain, including Australia.
The galvanised chassis that the Rogue sits on was built by the firm itself, and includes five-leaf suspension, but for reassurance, it comes with an Al-Ko hitch.
The Vagabond’s shell, a monocoque GRP body, is insulated with polyurethane foam. And if you are looking for something a little different from the traditional white box, the Rogue is available in a choice of five different colours, including canary yellow and burnt orange, as well as the model shown here.
The main section of the caravan has a door either side, with wide running boards that are easy to step on.
From here, even shorter people will be able to reach the load-bearing roof bars, which can carry a canopy that opens out in an ‘L’ shape down the nearside and rear of the van.
