Latest / Wander the World with Pippa Hudson / Wander the World: Kampi takes caravanning to the next level
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: You're with cave talk listless papaton on lunch.
- 0:06Speaker 2: It is time to wander the world, and today we
- 0:08Speaker 2: want to explore the world of caravanning. It can be
- 0:12Speaker 2: a very affordable way to travel the country without having
- 0:15Speaker 2: to spend a fortune on rented holiday accommodation, because you
- 0:18Speaker 2: take your room with you wherever you go. But of
- 0:21Speaker 2: course the caravan itself requires significant upfront investment, and it's
- 0:25Speaker 2: an asset that, let's face it might only be used
- 0:28Speaker 2: a few weeks every year, gathering dust and a garage
- 0:31Speaker 2: the rest of the time. So is it always a
- 0:33Speaker 2: sensible investment. Well, some of you will say absolutely yes.
- 0:38Speaker 2: It was the best way of exploring and going on
- 0:40Speaker 2: childhood holidays. I have fond memories. I loved it, and
- 0:44Speaker 2: I couldn't wait to get my own. I'd love to
- 0:46Speaker 2: hear from you if you fall into that camp. I'd
- 0:48Speaker 2: equally like to hear from you if you go. You
- 0:50Speaker 2: know what, we spent such a lot of money buying
- 0:52Speaker 2: a caravan and then hardly ever used it. At the
- 0:55Speaker 2: end of the day, it wasn't our best financial decision.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Perhaps you'd also like to talk about the negative memories
- 1:00Speaker 2: you have the difficulty holidays, the holidays where it rained
- 1:04Speaker 2: all the time and you were squeezed inside the caravan
- 1:07Speaker 2: trying to pass the hours. I'd love to hear from
- 1:09Speaker 2: those of you who have explored South Africa by caravan.
- 1:12Speaker 2: It's something I have never ever done myself, so I
- 1:15Speaker 2: really don't have any lived experience to share, and I'm
- 1:17Speaker 2: hoping to draw on yours while we talk about what
- 1:20Speaker 2: I think is a very smart solution that wants to
- 1:23Speaker 2: make this kind of travel more accessible.
- 1:25Speaker 3: To more people.
- 1:27Speaker 2: I'm talking about a platform called campy and it's spelled Kampi,
- 1:32Speaker 2: and it's kind of like an AIRB and B for
- 1:35Speaker 2: caravans and camping equipment as well. The idea is that
- 1:39Speaker 2: those who already own the caravan or the very high
- 1:42Speaker 2: tech camping gear and the camping trailers with their rooftop tents, etc.
- 1:47Speaker 2: And maybe aren't using them as often as they want to,
- 1:50Speaker 2: are able to make some money about ranting them out
- 1:53Speaker 2: to others to take their borrowed or rendered caravan and
- 1:56Speaker 2: go exploring in and to tell us a little bit
- 1:58Speaker 2: more about the platform, what it offers, how it works,
- 2:00Speaker 2: and what made them started in the first place. It's
- 2:03Speaker 2: a pleasure to have one of the founders of campi
- 2:05Speaker 2: JP fooch to joining us via zoom this afternoon.
- 2:08Speaker 3: JP, welcome to Cape Talk.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Good afternoon, Papa.
- 2:12Speaker 3: Were you I'm very well, thanks to yourself.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Thanks for having us.
- 2:15Speaker 3: It's a huge pleasure. JP.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Were you a caravaner yourself? Was it part of your
- 2:19Speaker 2: childhood holiday memories?
- 2:22Speaker 4: Yes, yes, there was always we grew up in a
- 2:24Speaker 4: camping family. But it's actually the whole ideas spark from
- 2:30Speaker 4: me buying my dream caravan and parking it in the
- 2:33Speaker 4: garage for three years. I'm only using once or twice
- 2:37Speaker 4: shure in that two three years. So then I decided
- 2:41Speaker 4: if I sell it now, I'm going to lose money.
- 2:43Speaker 4: So there must be another way to make money from it.
- 2:46Speaker 2: And that was the concept. So it started literally with
- 2:49Speaker 2: your own caravan and JP, at first, what did you do?
- 2:52Speaker 2: I mean, did you just say, hey, I've got a
- 2:53Speaker 2: caravan available if anybody wants to rent it, or did
- 2:56Speaker 2: you realize straight away I'm going to need to build
- 2:58Speaker 2: a whole sort of platform to support this.
- 3:01Speaker 4: No, I come from a software engineering background. That was
- 3:06Speaker 4: a conscious decision to see if I can build a
- 3:11Speaker 4: large scale platform to facilitate this or help people to
- 3:15Speaker 4: go out camping across South Africa, and not just people
- 3:19Speaker 4: that own caravans, but someone that only wants to camp
- 3:22Speaker 4: once or.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Twice a year.
- 3:23Speaker 4: So I like the way you described it, the ABNB
- 3:27Speaker 4: off caravans.
- 3:29Speaker 2: I mean very synchronous, that you draw on your own
- 3:33Speaker 2: professional skills as well to come up with a solution
- 3:36Speaker 2: that you needed, and I mean looking at how many
- 3:39Speaker 2: listings you've got, clearly there was a need for this
- 3:41Speaker 2: because before you blinked, camping was not just your caravan.
- 3:45Speaker 2: It was caravans all over South Africa. It was trailers
- 3:48Speaker 2: of every shape and size and description. And as you mentioned,
- 3:52Speaker 2: it's camping equipment, the fancy tents, all of the bells
- 3:55Speaker 2: and whistles that if you're serious campers, you're going to
- 3:58Speaker 2: go camping every second or third weekend, and sure you're
- 4:01Speaker 2: going to invest in for yourself, but as you say,
- 4:03Speaker 2: if you're only doing it once or twice a year,
- 4:05Speaker 2: it can be a very expensive hobby. JP tell us
- 4:08Speaker 2: a little bit more about the kinds of things that
- 4:10Speaker 2: are available on the camping site.
- 4:12Speaker 1: So there's actually quite a wide variety.
- 4:15Speaker 4: So we started off with just my like I said,
- 4:19Speaker 4: my offer trailer Mike Pride and Joy that I never used.
- 4:23Speaker 4: We started to call around and look at people selling
- 4:28Speaker 4: their caravans, trying to convince them to first try to
- 4:31Speaker 4: rent it out. So there's offered caravans, offer a trailers
- 4:36Speaker 4: or nice luxurious road caravans. We've even recently moved into
- 4:42Speaker 4: the inflatable tents, renting out those inflatable tents. There's owners
- 4:46Speaker 4: with those rooftop tents and with some of the more
- 4:50Speaker 4: popular options.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Is the obby after motimes.
- 4:56Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, So I mean a huge of ways
- 5:01Speaker 2: to get out there and stay very close to nature.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Because that's the one thing we haven't really spoken about
- 5:06Speaker 2: JP is why would someone choose to holiday by caravan
- 5:10Speaker 2: or with a camping trailer rather than staying in a
- 5:13Speaker 2: house and wear an apartment or a hotel. I mean,
- 5:16Speaker 2: for some people, it's going to be an absolute no brainer.
- 5:18Speaker 2: They like the experience of feeling that they're properly ut
- 5:21Speaker 2: in nature, feeling close to the earth and under the trees.
- 5:24Speaker 2: But do you want to expand a little bit more
- 5:26Speaker 2: about what it is that makes this kind of holiday
- 5:28Speaker 2: so appealing to you and to the others who are
- 5:30Speaker 2: using your site.
- 5:32Speaker 1: So, first of the idea.
- 5:35Speaker 4: I came to just realize realization in a while ago
- 5:38Speaker 4: is no one lies in bed and dreams of a caravan.
- 5:42Speaker 4: It is the idea of freedom. It's the idea of
- 5:45Speaker 4: the outdoors. It is the kids of their screens, it's
- 5:49Speaker 4: the nature ikes, it's all of those.
- 5:53Speaker 1: It's just the freedom.
- 5:55Speaker 4: My brother, he always describes can be people that loves
- 6:01Speaker 4: camping and people that loves going into chalais and atels,
- 6:05Speaker 4: or typically two different people, or it could be the
- 6:07Speaker 4: same kind of person that you're doing it for different reasons.
- 6:11Speaker 4: Because if you go in stan Schalao Hotel, it's it's
- 6:15Speaker 4: time to relax. Camping is more a relaxation of your
- 6:19Speaker 4: mind because you know stuff is going to go wrong,
- 6:22Speaker 4: You're going to struggle to get the tent peg and
- 6:24Speaker 4: you are going to go, and that is keeping your
- 6:27Speaker 4: mind busy with breaking through from the off verse and
- 6:33Speaker 4: your day to day routine. So it's I think it's healthy.
- 6:37Speaker 2: I do too, and so does our listener, Heidi, who
- 6:40Speaker 2: was sent through a voice note on seven two five
- 6:42Speaker 2: six seven one five six seven, sharing some of her
- 6:45Speaker 2: holiday experiences. Let's take a listen to that.
- 6:49Speaker 5: Our parents taking us on caravaning holidays growing up was
- 6:55Speaker 5: the best experiences we could have I think ever had
- 7:00Speaker 5: for our childhood.
- 7:03Speaker 3: That says it all.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Heidi, thanks for that, and I'm so glad you had
- 7:06Speaker 2: those wonderful experiences. I'd love to hear from others, particularly
- 7:10Speaker 2: you know, where did you go, what was it like?
- 7:12Speaker 2: What were the things you enjoyed most? Was it all
- 7:14Speaker 2: about the places that took you to? Is there something
- 7:17Speaker 2: about spending time together in quite enclosed quarters that adds
- 7:21Speaker 2: to the value of the holiday. I've just come back
- 7:23Speaker 2: from that kind of holiday on water where the whole
- 7:26Speaker 2: family were together in a fairly small space, and it's wonderful.
- 7:30Speaker 2: As Jp said, it comes with its own set of
- 7:32Speaker 2: challenges and you know things will go wrong, but that's
- 7:35Speaker 2: half the joy is finding ways to problem solve and
- 7:38Speaker 2: get through those moments. For anybody who's coming in midway
- 7:41Speaker 2: to this conversation, our guest on the line via zoom
- 7:44Speaker 2: this afternoon. JP Foch is the founder of a platform
- 7:47Speaker 2: called Campi spelt Kampi and you'll find them on campi.
- 7:51Speaker 3: Dot co dot sid a.
- 7:53Speaker 2: And if you would like to try a fancy camping
- 7:57Speaker 2: holiday or a caravaning holiday, but you don't own all
- 8:00Speaker 2: the equipment, and you don't want to have to invest
- 8:02Speaker 2: in all of the equipment before you know whether you
- 8:04Speaker 2: like it or not. This is an opportunity for you
- 8:07Speaker 2: to rent somebody else's caravan and take it on holiday.
- 8:11Speaker 2: JP Maybe at this point let's talk about how it
- 8:13Speaker 2: actually works in practice. So somebody comes onto your site
- 8:16Speaker 2: thinking I'd like to take my family on a caravan
- 8:19Speaker 2: holiday somewhere in the Western Cape. What do they do next?
- 8:22Speaker 2: How does it work? Do you filter by region? Do
- 8:24Speaker 2: you filter by the kind of vehicle you are looking for?
- 8:27Speaker 2: Just chatters through how the whole system works.
- 8:29Speaker 4: Okay, there's a couple of options. So the first one is,
- 8:32Speaker 4: like you said on the platform, you go onto the system,
- 8:35Speaker 4: you go and search for your area, your pickup location.
- 8:39Speaker 1: We want to pick it up. So you specifically.
- 8:41Speaker 4: Gave the idea of the concept of going camping somewhere
- 8:46Speaker 4: in the Western Cape. But if let's say you want
- 8:48Speaker 4: to go to the Kruger and you're from Cape Town,
- 8:50Speaker 4: you don't need to rent a caravan in the Cape Town.
- 8:53Speaker 4: You can rent one closer to your final destination, so
- 8:56Speaker 4: you don't have to sew all the way and drop
- 8:59Speaker 4: it off back there, but you go onto the platform,
- 9:02Speaker 4: you search for the area that you want to pick
- 9:04Speaker 4: it up. Then there's a whole bunch of sub folds
- 9:07Speaker 4: that you can apply for. So one of the biggest
- 9:09Speaker 4: restrictions in South Africa's some years ago people stopped through
- 9:15Speaker 4: normally when you went to go and do your license,
- 9:17Speaker 4: everyone received the EB license was allowed to do. Now
- 9:21Speaker 4: in this last twenty to three years that has changed,
- 9:24Speaker 4: so everyone that's got their license, I think in the
- 9:27Speaker 4: last twenty five years is not allowed to sew anything
- 9:31Speaker 4: bigger than seven hundred and fifty kilograms. So if your
- 9:34Speaker 4: license doesn't permit it, you just flick on the switch
- 9:36Speaker 4: to stay what you can to legally, and then you
- 9:40Speaker 4: start looking at caravans or for caravans, what's your price
- 9:43Speaker 4: budget or your budget and what's available on your dates.
- 9:48Speaker 4: And once you picked your caravan that will make your
- 9:53Speaker 4: weekend happen or your trip happen, you put in a
- 9:56Speaker 4: booking request and from there on the owner the owner
- 10:01Speaker 4: or the host of the caravan and you get into
- 10:05Speaker 4: contact with each other. Those decides if he's willing to
- 10:09Speaker 4: allow his caravan to go where you want to go,
- 10:12Speaker 4: and you can chat and talk and you can guide
- 10:14Speaker 4: you through all of those things. Then you make the
- 10:18Speaker 4: booking payment and from that point onwards compete text over
- 10:21Speaker 4: again to ensure the insurance insurance, the verifications happens to
- 10:25Speaker 4: kebyd C checks happens if it's a cross border trip,
- 10:29Speaker 4: that all the paperwork gets fold in order, and then
- 10:34Speaker 4: afterwards when the trip, when you return the caravan, we
- 10:38Speaker 4: take over again to facilitate with the breakage deposits. And
- 10:43Speaker 4: if there is a claim, all of the rest of
- 10:47Speaker 4: the admin around it then okay.
- 10:49Speaker 2: So I mean this is a detailed process Japan. You've
- 10:53Speaker 2: you've touched on one important side of the equation. I
- 10:55Speaker 2: want to ask you about the other side. Your owner
- 10:58Speaker 2: of the caravan wants to check that they're happy for
- 11:02Speaker 2: this potential client to take their precious vehicle where they
- 11:05Speaker 2: say they're going. What about the renters assurances that the
- 11:08Speaker 2: vehicle they're getting is in good condition and they're not
- 11:11Speaker 2: going to pick it up get one hundred kilometers into
- 11:14Speaker 2: their trip and discover that there's actually something wrong with it,
- 11:17Speaker 2: or the lights aren't working properly, or something else has
- 11:21Speaker 2: not been seen to do you do any sort of
- 11:23Speaker 2: prep and vetting work on your side.
- 11:26Speaker 6: Yeah, so I'm my names Christian, I'm the general manager
- 11:30Speaker 6: of Compey High Christray, And yes, there is a vetting
- 11:34Speaker 6: process that we go through that the vehicle is road
- 11:37Speaker 6: with the end, the vehicle is a rent rentable and
- 11:42Speaker 6: presentable to a rent.
- 11:46Speaker 1: And there's always.
- 11:49Speaker 7: The communication between the owner and the rent that is
- 11:53Speaker 7: they can be possible.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Viewing before you do your two week grew it trip.
- 11:58Speaker 1: You just want to go check in is this which
- 12:00Speaker 1: you need? Is this what you want before doing the
- 12:02Speaker 1: complete reservation.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Okay, that's good to know because yeah, Paul asking how
- 12:06Speaker 2: do you rely on cleanliness, quality, et cetera. So you
- 12:09Speaker 2: have the option to actually go and view the vehicle
- 12:12Speaker 2: before pick up if you want to. And as you've
- 12:14Speaker 2: just heard Paul, Compy itself doing its own verification and
- 12:18Speaker 2: checking processes. Christian book the general manager joining us as
- 12:22Speaker 2: well on the Zoom call. He's the man who keeps
- 12:23Speaker 2: the operations running smoothly and the owners happy. Robin is
- 12:28Speaker 2: asking would one find caravans that are already at a
- 12:31Speaker 2: caravan parks that you don't have to toe and a
- 12:34Speaker 2: similar question from Charles saying I've just returned from Krueger.
- 12:38Speaker 2: I'd like to know if there's an option for the
- 12:40Speaker 2: compy owners to deliver the caravans that lazy people like
- 12:43Speaker 2: me can just move in. Is that part of the
- 12:47Speaker 2: option that somebody would deliver the caravan to where you
- 12:50Speaker 2: want to be sitting in?
- 12:51Speaker 4: It interesting question because it's a portion of the platform
- 12:55Speaker 4: that we launched a week ago Company Adventure Okay. That
- 13:02Speaker 4: allows so we are busy getting all the owners together
- 13:07Speaker 4: to let's tair caravans on towing services, don't set up services,
- 13:12Speaker 4: and there's a couple of caravans that's already set up
- 13:16Speaker 4: at resorts that are starting to list on the Company
- 13:21Speaker 4: Adventure platform. So we wanted to keep it sort of
- 13:24Speaker 4: inside of the platform, but as a separate stream to
- 13:29Speaker 4: ensure that if you want to go where you want to.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Go, you go to you book your caravan.
- 13:34Speaker 4: But if you want to go to a specific result
- 13:38Speaker 4: and there's already a caravan set up for you, or
- 13:40Speaker 4: there's an owner willing to tow it for you and
- 13:43Speaker 4: go and set it up for you, that's an additional service.
- 13:46Speaker 1: That we do offer now. And like I said, we
- 13:48Speaker 1: basically launched that a week.
- 13:50Speaker 2: Ago, okay, So well, timed questions. Thanks for that and
- 13:54Speaker 2: your Claude just writing in to say from Claremont. Over
- 13:56Speaker 2: ten years ago we camped in Heart Andbass and we
- 13:59Speaker 2: booked a caravan which was ready on site for us.
- 14:02Speaker 2: It was absolute heaven is Claude's comment. So I think
- 14:05Speaker 2: you've hit on a very good idea here. For some people,
- 14:08Speaker 2: half the fun is the towing the vehicle behind you
- 14:11Speaker 2: and you know, taking the journey from pickup.
- 14:14Speaker 3: But for some people the convenience of just arriving.
- 14:17Speaker 2: And being able to walk in the front door of
- 14:18Speaker 2: the caravan and start your holiday is going to be
- 14:20Speaker 2: what they're after. So I think it's great that you
- 14:22Speaker 2: expanding to offer both of those options. Nadia writes in
- 14:26Speaker 2: to say I grew up with only camping holidays.
- 14:28Speaker 3: It was the best. The best about.
- 14:30Speaker 2: Camping is that you can visit places where most people
- 14:32Speaker 2: don't go, like Barley's Hut in the Cedarburg, a beautiful
- 14:36Speaker 2: piece of nature only for camping. It's got such a
- 14:39Speaker 2: wonderful name, Nadia. I'd never heard of that before, but
- 14:41Speaker 2: now I'm intrigued to go and.
- 14:43Speaker 3: Look it up.
- 14:44Speaker 2: If you've got questions. We are in conversation with Christian
- 14:47Speaker 2: and jpforcht off. The platform comepy spelled KAMPI. The website
- 14:52Speaker 2: is compy dot co dot s. If there's anything about
- 14:55Speaker 2: the process you'd like to know, you're welcome to ask
- 14:57Speaker 2: a question by sending a WhatsApp to O seven two
- 15:00Speaker 2: five six seven one five six seven Is there anything JP,
- 15:06Speaker 2: let me put this one back to you. Is there
- 15:07Speaker 2: anything about the caravanning experience which a complete novice needs
- 15:12Speaker 2: to be warned about or needs to be made aware
- 15:14Speaker 2: of that that isn't sort of widely known. Whether it's
- 15:17Speaker 2: something to do with the number of people you put
- 15:20Speaker 2: into the space, the way you live inside a caravan,
- 15:23Speaker 2: anything that comes to mind that you want to just say,
- 15:25Speaker 2: you know, please be mindful of X, y and z
- 15:27Speaker 2: before you commit to a long caravan trip.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Okay, so nothing comes to top of my mind.
- 15:33Speaker 4: But when you said before you committing to a long
- 15:36Speaker 4: caravan trip, there's a lot of renters or people that
- 15:41Speaker 4: want to go explore Putswana or Tonqua for two, three
- 15:45Speaker 4: four weeks at a time, and what generally happens is
- 15:50Speaker 4: they'll book a weekend on with the caravan that they're
- 15:53Speaker 4: planning on renting to first learn to see out is
- 15:57Speaker 4: and how it works, and sure they are and everything
- 16:00Speaker 4: before they just go straight up and rent the caravan
- 16:04Speaker 4: or trailer for their.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Two three weeks tour.
- 16:09Speaker 4: Because there's there's always something. You'd never know how much
- 16:12Speaker 4: you can back, how much light you would need for
- 16:16Speaker 4: specifically for my wife, she loves a If the caravan
- 16:22Speaker 4: is heart, running water and a toilet inside, I cannot
- 16:25Speaker 4: have to go out at night. For me, I don't care.
- 16:29Speaker 4: I'm happy with a roof dot tent slipping off the
- 16:32Speaker 4: ladder after night.
- 16:35Speaker 3: It's each you know, each to their own needs.
- 16:36Speaker 2: And once I take your point, and I think it's
- 16:38Speaker 2: a very good idea to say, before you commit to
- 16:40Speaker 2: the long trip, test it out for a shorter trip.
- 16:43Speaker 2: In the meantime, an important thing we haven't spoken about
- 16:46Speaker 2: is pricing, and one or two people are asking what's
- 16:49Speaker 2: the sort of average rate per day JP. I would
- 16:52Speaker 2: imagine it's got very hugely according to what it is
- 16:55Speaker 2: that you're renting and the spec. But do you want
- 16:57Speaker 2: to give us some sort of broad parameters.
- 17:00Speaker 4: Yes, like you said, it's it's quite a wide range,
- 17:06Speaker 4: but you can start all the way I believe from
- 17:09Speaker 4: about four hundred rand a day all the way up
- 17:12Speaker 4: to four thousand and five thousand rand a day, depending
- 17:15Speaker 4: on what kind of caravan more terms, is generally a
- 17:19Speaker 4: lot more expensive in the two three thousand rand ranges.
- 17:23Speaker 4: And then I know there's a whole following around a
- 17:28Speaker 4: specific luxurious caravan brand that is very popular as well.
- 17:34Speaker 4: So the pricing on that is the onner's price based
- 17:38Speaker 4: on demand for that, and on the pricing the owners
- 17:45Speaker 4: of the caravan, they decide what the price is, so
- 17:48Speaker 4: we don't we guide them to say generally this let's
- 17:52Speaker 4: say this caravan would generally go for between this and
- 17:55Speaker 4: this price in this area, but you are more than
- 18:00Speaker 4: I'll come to go and put it up for eight
- 18:01Speaker 4: thousand rand a day. That doesn't guarantee that you'll ever
- 18:04Speaker 4: get any rentals, but you dictate the price. I'm not
- 18:07Speaker 4: going to tell you how much your caravan is worth
- 18:10Speaker 4: the day.
- 18:10Speaker 2: I can guide you, okay, And just to to echo
- 18:14Speaker 2: what JP has just said, I'm on the site looking
- 18:16Speaker 2: at the options as we speak, and there you know,
- 18:18Speaker 2: I'm looking at everything from seven hundred and ninety round
- 18:22Speaker 2: a day for a full four sleeper caravan to as
- 18:25Speaker 2: you said, the more expensive sort of super luxurious versions
- 18:29Speaker 2: which come in at a couple of thousand, still a
- 18:31Speaker 2: lot cheaper obviously than paying for a hotel stay or
- 18:34Speaker 2: an actual Airbnb. And before we run out of time,
- 18:39Speaker 2: JP and Christian, anything else you'd like to mention that
- 18:41Speaker 2: I haven't asked you about that you think is important
- 18:44Speaker 2: to flag for somebody who might be contemplating trying this
- 18:47Speaker 2: for the first time ever.
- 18:48Speaker 8: Yes, so, gamping is It's something that I used to say, Yeah,
- 18:58Speaker 8: camping is working.
- 18:59Speaker 9: So if you want to go work, keep your mind
- 19:02Speaker 9: mine of the office and work. So yes, then you
- 19:06Speaker 9: need to go and camp. But in a broad spectrum
- 19:09Speaker 9: is if you if you are.
- 19:11Speaker 7: The own of a caravan and you only go camp
- 19:14Speaker 7: once a weekend every month, you basically only use your
- 19:18Speaker 7: caravans two weeks in a fifty two week calender year,
- 19:21Speaker 7: which means for fifty weeks to get that the caravan
- 19:23Speaker 7: stands in your garage. And so this could be the
- 19:28Speaker 7: way to start getting some extra funds in. And we
- 19:33Speaker 7: do have everything that to back you up as an
- 19:37Speaker 7: owner and to back their renters up, so we've got
- 19:40Speaker 7: everything in place.
- 19:41Speaker 10: This is not something that we do for just two
- 19:44Speaker 10: or three weeks. It came, It came along time. It's
- 19:46Speaker 10: about six years would be doing this now, so we
- 19:49Speaker 10: do have quite quite a good experience.
- 19:53Speaker 4: And just to add quickly to what Christian said is
- 19:56Speaker 4: in the five six years that we've been operational, we
- 19:59Speaker 4: have facilitat did successfully just over seven thousand tools in
- 20:04Speaker 4: South Africa.
- 20:05Speaker 3: So you know what you're doing by now.
- 20:07Speaker 2: In short, last question before we must say goodbye, it's
- 20:10Speaker 2: an important one, Neline asking whether your caravans are pet friendly.
- 20:14Speaker 2: Is that up to the individual owner or is it
- 20:16Speaker 2: something you don't love it all?
- 20:18Speaker 1: It's up to the owner.
- 20:20Speaker 2: Okay, so Noline, you can you can, you can do
- 20:22Speaker 2: your research to find one that would allow you to
- 20:24Speaker 2: take your pets with you if you want to do that,
- 20:27Speaker 2: and that's a priority for you. We must wrap there,
- 20:30Speaker 2: but it's been fascinating chatting to you, Christine and JP.
- 20:32Speaker 3: Thank you so much.
- 20:33Speaker 2: I think it's a wonderful concept and I'm delighted to
- 20:35Speaker 2: hear that over seven thousand people have agreed and given
- 20:38Speaker 2: it a chance, and I hope some Cape talkers are
- 20:41Speaker 2: going to give it a bash and check you out
- 20:42Speaker 2: on campy dot co dot z.
- 20:44Speaker 3: Thanks so much for being with us. This afternoon.
