Kokoriba Game Reserve - Camping in the bush!
We spent 3 nights at Kokoriba Game Reserve over the August long weekend in 2024, this was our trip #28 since we bought our first caravan. The resort is located about 100km from Johannesburg (Randburd) with easy access. We went via R511 for most of the time and despite some potholes here and there the road is in good condition overall.
On the resorted we had 3 sites: 5, 6 and 92, being 5 and 6 private ablution. The private ablution is really good, one of the best I have seen so far. For private ablution, the recommended ones are units 10 and 11 as they offer lots of shade and lots of space. For common ablution, the recommended site is 85 which is paved and right in front of the ablution blo...

      Hi Piet, I had someone to do it for me when I was using a wired camera, a guy from Witbank. I remember he had to take one of the tail lights off in order to reach the wires. The camera was located just above the number plate. Then you need to bring the wires all the way to the A frame and connect to the car. Wiring it to the inside of the car can be also a tricky. Where about do you stay? Maybe you can contact the same guy who did it for me, happy to share his contact.

    • @bananacamper
      @bananacamper Месяц назад

      Hi JP you can go for the Swing with an added room outside or perhaps a small tent. Whatever the children ages are for now they will grow and they won't fit in the Splash. It also depends on your budget to get a bigger caravan that can acommodate everyone. Regarding the ground clearance, yes the Splash is a bit low to the ground and it is long at the back, so I used to bump the back here and there. As you saw on the video it is possible to lift it a bit but not too much.

    • @bananacamper

      Hi JP, based on your budget I believe the Splash is the best choice. Yes I got a Quantum now and I'm traveling a lot with it. I recommend that you consider doing some modification to the Splash perhaps adding a bunk bed at the back.

      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.

      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.
