I really like the look and proportions of those. Not saying it’s not worth it but that looks like a pretty basic configuration/equipment list for £10k+. It’ll be interesting to see if it sells.

Just ended. No takers.

hi

I kinda like it because it will sleep 1 person without having to open anything.

Back up for sale on Car & Classic.

Nice looking but a little expensive I think. Good if there's just 2 of you though, the pull out bed makes it so much more spacious compared to just the trailer footprint, plus you don't get the setup of the beds each night.

Now on eBay with proper photos of the bed.

Kinda looks pricy compared to a larger lightweight trailer camping design.
Been newly on my list to move towards a trailer most likely a teardrop design now of some kind for the near future. The one on eBay looks kinda small with a lot to plan out for not much gain compared to a teardrop type design to me.

Quite like this design.

I seem to recall that the Jurgens off road caravans went through a period of bad build quality and were prone to losing wheels and hubs due to axle failure, I may be wrong and it does look like a nice bit of kit.
I have long fancied a Conqueror, I think they were one of the founding companies for that type of caravan in South Africa.

Bargain alert. Having failed to sell twice (went up to around 4K on both occasions) it’s now on a £1 auction with no reserve.

From a practical point of view that Jurgen ticks every box for me , shame it just looks like a box on wheels while being towed . If the price was right maybe adding some exterior lockers would make it look the part , something like this

I seem to recall that the south african made Jurgens caravan got quite a bad reputation for build/structural quality/strength, axles were soft and prone to dropping wheels off if memory serves.

Found this pic, for example.

As far as i can tell they have been producing these for nigh on 20 years , I wonder if you could unbolt it from the chassis and drop it on a sankey trailer .
