INFANTA’S BABY

Manufacturers are increasingly adding smaller caravans to their ranges, and Infanta recently launched theirs: The Enkulu 1 – a caravan with space for two people who desire a lighter tow load. After Infanta launched its offroad caravan – the Enkulu 2 – the owner, J.W. Swart, took the lead and built one of the swankiest double-axle off-road caravans in the country. The Enkulu 4 is like a hotel on wheels, and now J.W. has set his sights on the opposite end of the market. If you look at the Enkulu 1’s structure, it seems very similar to its two predecessors, and you can seen J.W. still applies his three pillar philosophy: You need to be able to cook, shower and sleep comfortably. The inside is taken up by one large double bed, the shower is outside at the back and is fed by a high-pressure geyser, and the kitchen is on the left-hand side. Just like with the newest Enkulu 2 models, the pop-up roof also only lifts up at the back – this is done simply by pushing a button, thanks to electric motors. But you won’t be left homeless if the motors should break down, because you can also lift the roof manually. The door is on the left-hand side at the back, and the bed is

to the left of the door, towards the nose. In front of you, if you’re standing at the door, is a cassette toilet against the opposite panel, and the black water tank can be reached from the outside. Above the kitchen, against the body of the caravan, you can attach a loose shelf for small household items – it’s out of the way but still within reach. There’s space for anything from spices to a butter dish, and it’s ideal to keep the work surface clean. The figures Tare 610 kg (fully equipped); GVM 1 600 kg. Price R250 000 (fully equipped).
