Leefek at Caravan Show 2022
Wondering who Leefek is? Leefek is the new name behind Jurgens, Sprite, Gypsey and Safari caravans and trailers.
After Jurgens Ci and Jurgens Campworld were liquidated, Leefek Managing Director Tian Muller and his Leefek team stepped in to acquire the brands and the right to manufacture them.
Tian says: “The first thing we did after acquiring the brands from the old company, was to have extensive design meetings to see how we can improve the products and give the public what they want.
“We are making all our products better, of higher quality, and ensuring they are long lasting.”
On the show floor for Leefek were, among others, the new Penta and Exclusive Purple Editions, the new Sprite Tourer SX Enduro, and the upgraded Gypsey Impi.
Exclusive and Penta Purple Edition
The naming of the Exclusive and Penta as “Purple” edition, comes from the fact that the caravans have been upgraded with equipment and movers from the Purple SA company.
As opposed to the previous GS edition, the Exclusive Purple Edition now comes with a lot more standard accessories such as movers, roof-mounted air conditioner, auto stabiliser, inverter, 100 two 100A batteries, and 318L fridge.
The Purple edition also gets a nice tech upgrade, with touchscreen control system (the software developed by Leefek specifically for the caravans), split air conditioner, lithium-ion batteries, bedroom control panel, USB points, and mood light system.
Underneath, the big upgrade to the Purple Edition is that the caravan now comes with Alko Enduro Independent Tandem Suspension
Ina Dreyer from Leefek tells CaravanSA: “With this latest Exclusive we’ve also gone back to thinking of the caravan as a family unit, so we have an extra bed in the back, and instead of a separate bathroom is has a full wet room.
“The kitchen is still on the outside, where we know the South African family likes to live when they go camping.”
The Penta Purple Edition is basically the same as the Exclusive, just smaller (single-axle, pop-top, without wet room).
It gets all the upgrades of the Purple range, plus an auto-lift roof.
Both models come with full modular tents.
Tourer SX Enduro
“Think of the Tourer as a Sprite Splash on steroids,” says Ina.
The new SX Enduro model is now the biggest in the Tourer range and comes with a reinforced chassis on Enduro independent coil spring suspension.
Gypsey Lite Impi
The little caravan has been a very popular model since launching a few years back. And it was no different at the Caravan Show 2022. The Impi model has had its roof upgraded to a full pop-top.
