Go far with a Fargo
Bushwakka has expanded its range with a variant of the Bhoma model – this now offers camping families an even greater choice,
Bushwakka’s off-road caravans are unique in that they don’t follow the traditional design. The kitchen, for example, isn’t built in on the left side but at the rear end, where you also get in. Moreover, it’s unusual to see that neither of the existing Bhoma models’ two beds fold out over the A-frame but rather from the side panels of the caravan. This applies to the new kid on the block, Bhoma Fargo, too.
Its body and chassis are made of 3CR12 stainless steel, which means you really don’t have to worry about rust. The metal is also tough in terms of its welding properties, especially in spots that must cope with shocks and vibrations.
What is where?
To open the door, you must first swing the kitchen – a square cupboard at the back – to the right to get it out of the way. A worktop then flattens, with a sunken gas stove on the left. All the cupboards are behind this worktop for the groceries but also house the cut-out sponge and its plates and glasses.
Two cupboards sit on the left of the door, and these differ from the standard Bhoma. (The inline geyser that was mounted here is now around the left corner.) On the Fargo, these two cupboards on top of each other offer space for a small fridge (40 ℓ) at the bottom that can serve as your “second” fridge in the kitchen. The larger fridge/freezer is still on its sliding frame in the front of the Bhoma. So, this allows you to use the one in the front as a freezer and the back one as the fridge. Now that the gas geyser sits around the corner, the loose frame with the dishwashing sink and drying rack is here, where you can stand and wash the dishes.
At first glance, the two Bhomas’ noses differ the most. The standard model has a more angular shape, while the Fargo reminds you more of the Bushwakka’s Sundowner EVO model with its streamlined nose.
The standard Bhoma has two king-size beds, but the Fargo’s left-hand bed has been scaled down to a double bed, as the geyser in the left-hand panel now occupies some of that space. But the beds are designed so that you don’t have to climb over your partner.
At the end of the isle – between the two beds – the cupboards remain unchanged. That also goes for the worktop of the vanity basin.
