On August 17th, we picked up our new Kamelback and received instructions on how to set it up and close it down. Despite our excitement, we wondered if we’d remember everything after an hour of learning about all its functions. However, we managed well during the 14 days we spent with it.

We tested the Kamelback in Struisbaai where it withstood wind and water. Our 1.9m x 2m bed was comfortable, and the Cruiser’s air suspension worked well. We also went to Nieuwoudtville for flowers, but the weather was bad. Nonetheless, the Kamelback kept us dry, and opening and closing it was easy with the gas struts.

In Namibia, we used the awning and kitchen often. The power supply, lithium battery, and fridges all worked flawlessly. We were impressed with the hot water system, water tank, pump, and electronic water meter. Though we haven’t tested the shower, the sink at the back was convenient for face washing and shaving.

We could easily walk upright inside, and the bed was simple to make up. Folding it was easy too, and it took only a minute to straighten it from both inside and outside. The Kamelback is perfect for exploring Africa over long distances and living in for extended periods.

Overall, we’re thrilled with our new Kamelback, and it’s going to take some time to personalize it fully.
