Campers in South Africa know how to do it right – after all, exploring the bushveld is something many of us have been doing from a young age. As a camper yourself, searching through all caravans for sale in South Africa may be tricky; there are tons from which to choose. How does one know, then, that what you are getting is exceptional value for money?

At Conqueror, we have been in the industry for over 30 years. Our design and manufacturing processes remain unparalleled in the market, which is why our off-road caravans and camper trailers continue to win awards, year after year. For those seeking top-quality caravans for sale in South Africa, we have compiled a quick list of mistakes to avoid while shopping for one:

• Settling for a poor brand. As mentioned before, South Africa has a variety of caravan stockists and you will likely run into a few brands you have never encountered before. At a glance, it may be challenging to determine what a top-notch brand looks like or provides, so doing a little research is critical. Perhaps you are tempted to settle for a lesser-known brand in order to save money, but keep in mind there is probably a reason why they don’t receive much attention.
• Compromising on quality. The best caravans offered for sale will never be dirt cheap – remember that quality raw materials and design methods are ultimately what will determine how yours performs, as well as its life expectancy. Look into the product specifications of the models you like to determine your budget.
• Neglecting testimonials. Avoid a brand with a poor reputation, as you may find yourself spending money on products and services that are not worth your time. While doing your research, speak to a few dealers and visit some online forums. Look into recent awards and talk to friends and acquaintances with off-road camping experience. If the overall verdict on a product doesn’t sound great, it’s best to avoid it.
• Ignoring the need for a dealer network. In your search for caravans for sale, don’t underestimate the importance of a strong, national dealer network. No matter where you find yourself in South Africa, you want to know that your chosen brand is available to support and assist you with advice, repairs, and accessories.
