Choosing the Right Camper Trailer for South African Adventures

Some travellers prefer to play it safe by sticking to a pre-planned route and avoiding dirt roads, while others throw caution to the wind and see every path as a challenge that must be overcome. When there are sights to be seen and trails to explore, you want a camper trailer built to last. The only problem is which one is truly capable of handling off-road adventuring?

Camper Trailer Comparison

South Africans are embracing the freedom that a camper trailer has to offer, allowing them to maximise time spent on the road. This, in turn, has opened the door for manufacturers to bring the dream of off-road travelling to reality. But have they managed to achieve what Conqueror has? Let’s take a look at what you should get from bundu-bashing, dune surfing camping trailers.

Easy Towing

Did you know that the materials used in the body construction of campers can impact your towing experience? Some manufacturers choose to galvanise panels and others prefer aluminium for a lighter tow. At Conqueror, we have opted for both. The chassis and core body frames are constructed from electrogalvanized steel for superior corrosion protection, and the furniture and doors from aluminium. What you get is a lighter, sturdier tow over any terrain.

Ease of Set Up

When you start your day with game watching and end it with admiring the sunset behind a mountain, the last thing you want is to spend hours setting up camp. Ask yourself: Do I want to climb stairs to get a good night’s sleep? Quite a few of South Africa’s overlanders come equipped with a pop-up roof tent, which may become problematic should you need to exit the tent during the night. What we give you is a pop-up roof for more headroom without having to negotiate stairs.

Where some models require putting up laborious awnings, we have simplified matters. Our uniquely designed Insta-Awn is the quickest, wing-type awning in the industry to set up. It comes with integrated drop-down poles, giving you and your Conqueror protection from the elements in mere minutes.

Built to Conquer

Our design philosophy is one of continuous improvement, which is evident in the materials we use in the construction phase. We have chosen to follow trends in both the motor and aeronautical industries, as well as applied specialised assembly techniques to reduce metal fatigue, limit stress concentration zones, and provide superior corrosion resistance. This has resulted in an off-road range that is lightweight, reliable, durable, and that doesn’t compromise on comfort.

Decades of Toughness

Off-road campers are not created equal, and there is one company that is head and shoulders above the rest, exceeding the benchmark in camper trailer design and construction: Conqueror. We invite you to explore our range to find out for yourself why Conqueror is considered South Africa’s top rugged pick and recognised as the gold standard in off-road trailers.
