“IT’S COMPACT, EASY TO TOW, AND FAIRLY LIGHT BUT IT’S ALSO A TARDIS WITH MASSIVE TWIN 180 DEGREE AWNINGS AND TWIN DOUBLE FOLD-OUT BEDS” – TIM VAN DUYL
Well done to Johnny, Annelize and the Bushwakka teams locally and back in South Africa. Their Bhoma has taken the hotly contested $25,000–$50,000 category at this year’s REDARC Camper Trailer of the Year in fine fashion.
The Bhoma is typical of South African campers and the style is starting to take off here. Considered an expedition camper, it reflects what our campers first were — tradie trailers with room to sleep, heaps of storage and a few mod-cons. But the Bhoma takes it to a new level.
It’s compact, easy to tow, fairly light and comes with plenty of essentials but it’s also a Tardis with massive twin 180 degree awnings and twin double fold-out beds, a great kitchen station, and storage for plenty of extras.
Its purpose is to be a base station; it’s not really the kind of camper you’d want to set up
