When André van der Merwe, owner of Obiqua, realised some reserves allow campers shells but not off-road trailers, he saw an opportunity to solve such situations.

That solution is essentially a camper shell on top of a trailer.

André explains that he didn't want to always sacrifice his bakkie's load bed for a camper shell. The Obiqua T4 is therefore an off-road trailer that can convert into a bakkie camper, making it possible to either tow it behind a bakkie or SUV or load it onto the back of a bakkie.

Left, right, left, right

The left side of the Obiqua T4 has four doors: two in the camper section and two in the trailer. Behind the upper two doors is your camp kitchen, complete with a fold-out gas stove and work surface, an electric kettle and toaster, and storage space for utensils for four people.

Behind the lower doors (in the trailer) is storage for two 20 ℓ jerry cans, four camping chairs and a camping table. The doors are dustproof – any dust visible in the photos shown is from frequent opening and closing.

The right-hand side mirrors this setup. Behind the two upper doors in the camper section, there’s a gas-fed water heater, a fold-out sink and a drying rack. It’s also a great spot to set up a shower tent. In the adjacent recess is storage for the camper’s four legs, which double as corner steadies.

The two storage compartments in the trailer’s right side are identical to those on the left. We used them to store two additional jerry cans, two sand ladders, tools and extension cords.
