Super idea although I would prefer an electric flush toilet and an outside shower.

[@bushlapagauteng-bushlapaof8427]

@redinza Great idea! Maybe that could be another model someday.

No arguing that this is a great piece of kit. I found a 2019 Ratel in Autotrader for R439,900 That is the same money for a similar year VW Transporter. When I stop at camp in my LWB 4Motion Transporter, I swivel the passenger seat around, take out my table and two chairs and pour us a drink. Sometimes I go the extra trouble and open the EasyAwn, or pitch the gazebo.

[@bushlapagauteng-bushlapaof8427]

@Deontjie thanks for the comment. We get what you are saying about the VW Transporter. It is a great solution for your style of camping. As they say different strokes for different folks, this is especially true when camping. Some prefer the camper solution some a caravan. We say get out, camp and enjoy. Any way you can.

Perhaps add a spec sheet and also including prices at the end for rough guidance is always nice, so as not to have to chase after these important factors. Thanks for the overall breakdown

[@bushlapagauteng-bushlapaof8427]

Thank you for the feedback Marc, the specifications of the Bush Lapa is in the comment /description section of the video :-) unfortunately prices need to be checked with the dealerships as prices may change. Thank you for watching.

In my opinion...the shower should stay outside, the "shower curtain " is too low and most women won't use the shower. You will struggle to shower without all of the surroundings getting wet. Will soap on the canvas not make it less waterproof. I would prefer not to go through all the trouble setting up the table. May as well sit in comfort outside underneath the awning and keep your bed made up.

[@redinza]

I totally agree ... as I said in my comments above use the shower area for a thetford 263 toilet. Often wondered why caravan makers cannot make a proper cassette toilet without a shower. I also feel that whilst BL make the best intuitive videos a basic price of the vans with a subject to makes life a lot easier to do the research

[@bushlapagauteng-bushlapaof8427]

@redinza, thanks for the feedback on the cassette toilet. We will take it into consideration. With regards to price, we do not advertise the price on UA-cam as the price could change at any time. Best to request a price list then you know you always have the current price.
