Bush Lapa models.
The kitchen consists of a two
hatches: the first (closest to the front)
is for your slide-out fridge/freezer,
two-plate gas stove, and a couple of
drawers (optional extras).
The second hatch (above wheel) is a
fold-down work surface, behind which
you’ll find a few cupboards. There is
enough space for a microwave.
Entrance to the Geitjie is at the
back of the caravan – fold down the
two-step ‘ladder’ that is permanently
attached to the caravan, open the back
door and unzip the canvas entrance.
The Bush Wing awning stretches
270 degrees and also covers the back
of the little caravan, so you will have
shade and rain cover from the kitchen
to the entrance.
Moving around to the driver side
of the Geitjie, you find a hatch at the
front near the nose that provides
some storage space (this area is at the
back of the slide-out fridge), and a
plug point – for if you are in a resort
with electricity.
The caravan comes with a solid
beam axle with leaf springs which
are rated 1 200 kg, but it’s unbraked,
so the GVM is registered at 750 kg.
Buyers have the option to upgrade
the Geitjie to a braked unit with a
GVM of 1 200 kg.
The body and chassis of the Geitjie
is stainless steel and comes with a
one-year warranty.
