Most buyers arrive with the same handful of concerns, so here are straight answers drawn from what we actually check on the forecourt. If your situation is unusual, the details below still give you a starting point.
Can I view a unit before I travel to Cape Town?
Yes. We can film a walkaround of the specific motorhome, covering the bed arrangement, washroom, kitchen block and any marks on the bodywork. You get the same angles we would show you in person, so a long drive from Gauteng or Namibia is not wasted on the wrong layout.
Which licence code do I need?
It depends on GVM, not length. Semi-integrated units around 3 500 kg GVM stay on a code B licence, while heavier coachbuilts and 4x4 bush campers often need code C1. We list the GVM and licence code on every listing so you can check before you commit to a test drive.
Is a 4x4 camper overkill for park roads?
Not always. If your trips are tar and graded gravel, a semi-integrated with 180 mm clearance handles it comfortably. The 4x4 builds with 265 mm clearance and a long-range tank earn their keep on sand, deep corrugations and remote tracks where fuel stops are far apart.
Do you take trade-ins?
We do, and trade-in units sit in a separate section of the catalogue rather than mixed into the main listings. Bring the registration papers, service history and current tare and GVM figures, and we can assess it against the model you are looking at.
What about water, solar and gas fittings?
Each listing states fresh and grey water capacity, solar panel wattage, battery type and the gas setup for the hob and fridge. That matters on longer trips where you are not hooked up every night, and it is worth comparing before you shortlist two similar layouts.
Can I filter by berths and engine size?
Yes. The catalogue filters on berths, transmission, licence code, engine size and price band, so you can narrow coachbuilts, panel van conversions and expedition vehicles down to a workable shortlist before requesting a viewing slot.
