It’s the Small Things That Make a Big Difference
What Most People Don’t Realise Comes Standard on a BERG Off-Road Caravan
When people first walk into a BERG Off-Road caravan, they notice the obvious things — the build quality, the stance, the layout, the off-road capability.
What they don’t always notice are the dozens of thoughtful details that quietly make life easier once you’re out there.
These aren’t optional extras. They’re standard. And they’re included because we use our own caravans — and we know what matters.
Here’s what most people don’t realise is already included.
The Everyday Practicalities (That Most Brands Forget)
The difference between a good trip and a frustrating one often comes down to small things.
Every BERG includes:
- 15m retractable washing line
- Laundry bag
- Hooks under the basin for a plastic rubbish bag
- Flat hoses to take dish and shower water away neatly
- Retractable garden hose
- Direct municipal water connection
- Drying rack
No improvising. No last-minute hardware store runs. Just practical solutions built in from day one.
Even your step box doubles as a toolbox — keeping pegs, ropes and tools organised instead of loose in a hatch.
Lighting Done Properly
Lighting can make or break campsite comfort.
That’s why every BERG includes:
- Strip lights on the awning arms — on a dimmer
- Interior strip lighting — also dimmable
- Reading lights on the headboard
- USB charging points at the bed
- Storage pockets for phones and books
- Cabinet lights inside the nose box
It’s about usable light — not harsh floodlighting.
A Kitchen That’s Actually Fully Equipped
Most caravans come “kitchen ready”. BERG comes kitchen complete.
Included as standard:
- 6 double-layer stainless steel coffee mugs
- 2 BERG-branded stainless tumblers
- 6 stainless drinking glasses
- 2 wine glasses
- 6 large plates, 6 small plates, 6 bowls
- Full cutlery set for 6
- Square pot set (3.8L & 2.6L Aluminum Pots with Stainless Steel lids)
- Square pans for the two-plate gas stove
- Chef’s knife, peeler, grater, corkscrew, can opener
- Spatulas, dishing spoons, braai tools
- Cutting board
- 3L stainless steel kettle
- Multiplug for kitchen appliances
And powering it all:
- Cadac two-plate gas stove
- Quick-release gas coupler
- 2 filled gas bottles
Plus a premium Smeg stainless steel basin with a rinsing basin.
You arrive ready to cook.
Bathroom Details That Matter
It’s the finishing touches that elevate the experience:
- Flyscreen and canvas roof in the bathroom
- Towel hooks
- Storage cubby next to the basin
- Storage pockets next to the toilet
- Water-repellent stainless steel toilet roll holder
Practical. Durable. No rust. No shortcuts.
Built for the Harsh Stuff
This is where BERG really separates itself.
Every caravan includes:
- Stainless steel latches, bolts, hooks and fittings
- PEX pipe plumbing fittings
- Aluminium drawers
- Gas lifts on roofs, hatches and even the spare wheel
- Lockable spare wheel
- Solid awning box (not a bag)
- 16mm U-bolts and hangers (Burquip heavy-duty kit)
- Body spring-mounted onto the chassis to allow twist
- 2-ton leveling jacks (2 rear, 1 front)
- Heavy-duty double wheel jockey wheel
- Rubber mudflaps and stone guards
- Stainless steel trailer worm protecting the plug lead
This is engineering most people never see — but it’s what keeps you moving when the terrain gets rough.
Recovery & Camp Setup Gear Included
No “add-on recovery kit” required.
Standard items include:
- 2 recovery tracks
- Full-size steel spade
- Madcon heavy-duty spring-loaded pegs
- Carabiners for all ropes
- Proper 3-pound hammer
- Wheel spanner
- 15m mains extension lead + 3-pin adapter
- Fire extinguisher
Everything you need. Already packed.
Electrical System: Premium, Not Basic
BERG doesn’t use entry-level electrical components.
Every caravan includes:
- Victron Energy 1600VA MultiPlus inverter
- 105Ah lithium battery
- 50A MPPT solar charge controller
- Victron VE.Bus Bluetooth Smart Dongle
- Busbars with fuses
- DB box with earth leakage
- Cooling fan for electrics
- Multiple 220V and 12V outlets
You can monitor your system directly from your phone via Victron Bluetooth.
This isn’t “camping electrics.”
It’s a proper mobile power system.
Comfort You Feel Every Night
After a long drive or a long trail day, comfort matters.
That’s why BERG includes:
- Hotel-quality mattresses
- Hanger bags for clothes
- Snap buttons on curtains (not straps)
- Flyscreens and curtains on all windows
- Interior key hook so you never lose them
It’s the kind of thoughtfulness that only comes from real-world use.
Why We Include All This
Because adding these later:
- Costs more
- Never integrates as cleanly
- And usually means compromising
At BERG Off-Road, we believe a caravan should leave our factory complete — not half-finished.
You shouldn’t need an options list to make it usable.
You should just hitch up and go.
