2021 Bush Lapa Baobab 4 Off-Road Caravan

Two queen beds, a 150-litre stainless water tank and hot water on tap, in a 3CR12 stainless-steel caravan that sits 350 mm clear at the axle. The 2021 Bush Lapa Baobab 4 is the four-sleeper in Bush Lapa’s Baobab range: a 3CR12 stainless-steel body and chassis on a solid beam axle with leaf springs and shocks, sleeping four adults at 1 090 kg dry. As a specialist off-road caravan dealer serving the Western Cape, Cape Town and the rest of South Africa, 4Matt Campers sells it inspected, with finance, trade-ins and nationwide delivery available.

Who it suits
