Cape Town & Agulhas - episode 1 / 6
zhlédnutí 242Před dnem
A dream - that’s how it started since a bought my Sprite Splash in 2020 and after many trips had it upgraded to a Quantum Comfort in 2023. There was a meticulous planning in preparation to this trip and I’m glad to say it worked all well throughout our 17 days on the road. We live in Joburg and the plan was to go all the way to the Most Southern Tip of Africa stopping at a few campsites along t...
Wagondrift Lodge - camping in the bush!
zhlédnutí 664Před 4 měsíci
Wow, what a great start of 2024! This was our trip #25 which took place in January 2024 at Wagondrift Lodge! We got invited to join a Bird Watching group visiting Wagondrift and it was a great experience for us and the children. Campsites are HUGE, with private ablutions, lapa and braai with nice touch of a light right on it, which helps a lot to braai at night. The place is very quiet in gener...

Great 1st episode Amigo.
Thanks this one was just to give a high level overview, the plan is to post one episode per week.
@@bananacamper can't wait for the next one.
Were there any problerms experiance with the power when you insert the socket in the car connecting the monitor screen? Thanks
Hi there, no I haven’t had such problem, mine just work firm connected to the lighter. Do you have a similar camera ? Any problem with your monitor screen ?
Good day, I like the improvements that you had done. I also drive an Everest and is looking for the same removable tow hitch like yours. Where did you bought yours from. I am in Pretoria East
Hi Jan, I got mine done at Rhinobar rhinobar.co.za/, they manufacture their towbars and the did the custom tow hitch for me. They are a bit far for you (Brakpan). Check if you can find it somewhere closer to you otherwise reach out to Rhino Bar.
@@bananacamper Thank you. I will contact them.
Hi, thanks for the tips. Can you remember what the newtons are for the gas lifters you used to keep the bed storage lid open?
Hi Leon , I don’t remember it no. It was fitted by Loftus Caravan. I have also fitted the shocks in my new Quantum. When I have the chance I can check it for you.
@@bananacamper Thanks
Good afternoon did you buy a new caravan 🎉 that's nice
Yes I did!
Great to see that you’ve started a CZcams channel - best wishes!
Thank you! See you at the caravan show!
So glad you call it a "game drive" and not a "Safari". Enjoy your videos
Thanks for watching! It a really great “game drive”!
is this for permanent campers also,what are monthly charges for caravan or chalets ,thank u
Hi Pierre, yes it is for permanent campers too, there were several permanent campers there at that time. I don’t have the rates so please check with them: park@saltrockbeach.co.za or phone 032 525 5025. I hope that helps.

Thank You.
Welcome! Let me know if you have any other questions.
loved your video
Hi Louis I’m glad you liked it!
Thank you for this information it is very informative
Tava Lingwe is quite a nice place! If you go there let me know how you experienced it!
I saw that there is a squatter camp next to Merry Pebbles. How does that impact on the safety? You also mentioned that they are pet friendly. Nothing is mentioned about it on their site.
Hi I just rode my bike all around and also checked now good maps satellite view, not sure where this squatter you’re referring to is. In any case I didn’t have any safety concerns while staying there. Regarding pets, they are allowed on the camping site only, see below what was written on my booking rules: “No pets allowed in pool area or buildings. Pets must be under control at all-times and please clean up after them!” I hope that helps.

Muito bom conteúdo, bem explicativo! Produção muito boa também! parabéns!
Obrigado primo, estou me divertindo com a criação do conteúdo. Abraço.
Was so wonderful to meet you all at merry pebbles!
Likewise Cassandra, I let’s look at another camping destination when the winter is over!
Hi Sir, ive just bought a sprite super sport caravan. thanks to you for motivating me by giving these valuable lessons. i need all the advice i can get from you, also infact mentoring as i just start. id like to know where you put in the mechanism that holds the tando stabiliser. who did it for you. also, one handle in my window is broken so where can i get a new one, infact where do you buy parts. thanks
Hi Karabo welcome to the channel. I installed the stabiliser myself. Initially the hook attached to the caravan was too low so I had to move it up slightly otherwise it would hit speed humps. Maybe try towing without the stabiliser and see how it goes before you fit it. In my case it made a huge difference. For the parts, where do you stay? Let me know , maybe I can recommend a caravan shop.
Obrigada por compartilhar.
Foi um prazer! No meu último vídeo sobre Salt Rock eu coloquei legendas em português, basta selecionar o idioma nas configurações.
Awesome
Hi, I've just bought a sprite splash, where did you get the spare wheel bracket?
I bought it from www.cj-aircons.co.za/ they came and fitted it at my house. I also saw it at Kempton Park Caravans. When fitting it make sure it is on the right side of the caravan otherwise the plate that goes under the bed will get on the way of the porta potty (if you have one and store it under the bed, that little door there).
Tem de fazer um tour na Caravan! Eu adoro esses canais de viagens! Parabéns Garizito. Beijos e muito amor família!!! 😘😘😘😘❤❤❤❤
Que legal Garizito. Amei essa ideia do canal, vou acompanhar! As crianças estão enormes!! Beijos para Mel !! Muito amor família!! 😃😃 😘😘😘😘😘❤❤❤❤
Obrigado Sheila!!! Beijos pra ti também !
Those thunder storm, and that rain is beautiful, I love rain
It was raining but I added the thunder sound effect !
Thanks for the suggestions in your video. I have an identical Splash and will try your trick for the leaking front compartment. I also have the same issue with the indicators on my Ranger flashing fast. Would also like to investigate lifting it. I wonder if it will make the tents side and front too short though.
After a heavy rain last weekend dragging the van I must say the trick for the nose did not fix the problem completely, but it is a lot better than before. Also after some time the rubber is no longer sticking. I’ll buy a thicker rubber and will also apply some glue to keep it in place. For the tents the lifting didn’t make any difference, often you camp in a uneven ground anyway. I use the rally tent only for most of the time, very rarely I set up the full tent. Sorry for the late reply.
@@bananacamper Thanks. Agree 100% on the uneven ground at most campsites. Am trying to find a honest dealer in the Western Cape to do the lift. Not an easy task.
@@daddycool_za459 it took my over a year to make my mind around the suspension lifting. Yes it is not an easy task but can be done. Try to find someone who have done it in the past. Just a note on the nose sealing: after a heavy rain last weekend I still got a bit of water in it. Today I removed that rubber and fitter a wider one and also applied some contact glue, bought it all from Builders Warehouse. I hope it solves the problem now. Cheers.
Great insights and amazing video. Thanks
Great video
