New Jurgens off-road Camper Trailers!! Let's have some input....

Just to keep track, I'd be most interested in the Xplorer II model.
On the Xplorer model, that 2nd doorway seems to be a waste of space IMO anyway...

I was liking that option, thinking that side could the shower/toilet privy space.

EDIT:
Looking at it better it is exactly what they have done.

With doors on both sides you can either step out the back door into your shower cubicle or sit in the shade of the rally awning.

Here are some specs.

Thats perfect for me and my needs, when my jumping Jack dies...i'm going to save my pennies.

I guess I should have phrased it differently...
It's not a like/dislike thing for me, it's more of a "I would want the most useable interior space possible since I will traveling with children" thing.

The shower/toilet tent could be set up completely separate from the camper, which I would prefer anyways because then the sounds and smells of said tent could be located a slight distance from the camper.
It would be beneficial to maintain some quiet for the kids to be able to keep sleeping while someone is taking a shower.

So the official word is:
The kitchen can indeed be used from the inside without being deployed. The obvious catch is that it is going to be lower down, since the kitchen was designed to be used more from the outside. But it can be used, and is as simple as folding up the hinged bunk, to allow access.
We're still looking at getting the Explorer and Oryx here by the fall, to do testing, retrofitting, and then presentation at various shows, including OX 2010.

It seems like the S. African and Australian trailers built like are awesome in terms of capablity, quality, and toughness. However, when they come with a price tag of 80 grand, they become less appealing...

I hate to quote this post if I'm correct, but does this seem like spam to anyone else?

Hi

I'm new to the forum, but "experienced enough" with the Jurgens Safari caravans - particularly the Xplorer.

I see you mention some of our discussions on the 4x4Community forum and that you want to make some modifications too.

I was actually searching on the web as a friend "heard that Jurgens decided to pull out of Aus because of to many problems with the caravans". I could only find the usual comments of a hand full of people who bought lemons, same as here in RSA.

Well, I can assure you, we enjoy our Xplorer and it does go through rough country. I clean and service after every trip and it will last for a long time.

Cheers

Thank you for restarting this thread. My wife keeps mentioning about a trailer and nothing I have yet found meets the wish list, but the Xplorer does seem awfully close. I would like to see a floor plan with dimensions and wonder if it is possible to use/sleep inside with the pop top down ? Also, what is the flip-out tent at the front of the trailer, please ?
