About Jaguar Caravans

Jacques Serfontein founded Jaguar in 1993. After five years building the business, he made a decisive pivot in 1998: the South African market needed a locally built, properly engineered off-road trailer, not an imported compromise. The Jaguar 4x4 trailer range was born. By 2015, customer demand had grown to the point where a full caravan range made commercial sense, and Jaguar expanded accordingly. More than 30 years on, the company still operates on the same philosophy: SABS-approved quality, custom-built to order, in small batches.
4x4 Things is a proud partner of Jaguar Caravans. Renting a Jaguar through our platform is the best way to road-test a model before you commit to buying one — and every listing is owner-verified and insured.

Yes. Every Jaguar unit is manufactured to SABS (South African Bureau of Standards) requirements — one of the key reasons the brand is trusted by South African overlanders and rental owners alike.
The campers on 4x4 Things are privately owned. If you fall in love with a specific unit, you're welcome to make an offer to the owner directly. For a new custom build, contact Jaguar Caravans through their website.
Insurance for the rental period is covered through the owner's listing terms. For purchase finance, our partner Life & Leisure SA offers finance assistance for leisure vehicles including caravans and trailers.
