New Jurgens Penta on its way

Jurgens Campworld’s new Penta is going to turn heads, and particularly the heads of current Penta owners who are going to sit upright in their camping chairs before rushing off to their nearest dealer to talk upgrade! The new Penta has been a long time in the making, so much so that one could not really tell the difference between a recent model and one that is decades old. For those dyed in the wool Jurgens owners – excitement. Speaking to Jurgen Adler, the team leader at Jurgens, he says everything on the new Penta is totally new, nothing has

The only difference being, it has been given a dose of steroids, beefed up for trundling down dusty, potholed country roads for camping in exotic and exciting places. Mind you, it would be equally at home gracing the lush, green grass lawns of an upmarket caravan resort as it would looking out from the

The story behind Gecko

Our journey with the Gecko started as just a dream. After years and years of camping with different caravans, we just couldn’t seem to find one that fitted into what we needed. This is how the idea of building the first-ever Gecko Caravan came to be, and it still is the best decision we have ever made. After three years of development and building, we had created our perfect caravan. Something robust, strong and durable.
