Testing the Trailer - a short trip to the Pilanesberg
Re: Testing the Trailer - a short trip to the Pilanesberg
Nice setup BT I'm going to look into something similar when my kids aren't interested in coming with anymore
Re: Testing the Trailer - a short trip to the Pilanesberg
Better sooner than later, off-road trailers are not cheap and the prices are going up rapidly. Brand new top end models go for R200,000 plus and even a basic setup will cost over R50,000. A few years ago I could have got the same setup for 60% of the price.Bushcraft wrote:Nice setup BT I'm going to look into something similar when my kids aren't interested in coming with anymore

Yes, I nearly garotted myself on them before I added the adornments. I've since found some nifty stuff called Glowworm. It wraps around the guy rope in a spiral and is luminous. Hopefully a less noisy alternative.

Now imagine for how many years you could have stayed comfortably in a hut for the price of that van? It beggars logic!
Just reminded me of another reason I'm done with camping...bladder!

In KNP it costs around R400 per night extra to have a hut with a toilet. I'll keep the R400 and walk 50m to the bog thanks.
Yes it's over, unlike many of yours
