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...

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...

    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.

    • @bananacamper
      @bananacamper Před 8 měsíci

      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.

    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

    • @bananacamper
      @bananacamper Před rokem

      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.

      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).

    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.

    • @bananacamper
      @bananacamper Před rokem

      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.

      @@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.
