Berg Offroad shook up the camper scene a pair years in the past when it launched the CX6, a caravan that packs right into a neat 17.5-foot-long (5.4-m) squaredrop earlier than increasing in each route to create an enormous base camp for as much as six folks. The corporate adopted up with a two-/three-person floor plan constructed into that very same towable footprint, and now it is launched what strikes us as its most common trailer of all: a three-/four-person CX4 sized to sleep the household in full consolation means out within the uniquely wild bushvelds of South Africa and larger environs.
The unique CX6 may not have appeared fairly as wild in its house market of South Africa, the place campers that expand in just about each route bodily potential are pretty commonplace, nevertheless it was actually a wild sight round the remainder of the world. Actually, the noise round its 2024 debut was quieted solely by the even more extreme Hogzilla, a camper design with an identical slide-out rear bed room constructed to experience on the truck, not roll behind it.
Trying again, we’re a bit stunned Berg Offroad did not kick off its lineup with the CX4. Past the truth that a four-berth ground plan is a really customary measurement for camper vans and small trailers throughout the trade, the typical family in South Africa had 3.2 members in 2023, as reported by the Department of Statistics South Africa, whereas solely 13 p.c of households had six folks or extra. So a caravan constructed particularly to sleep three or 4 folks feels just like the Goldilocks measurement, whereas a six-person rig appears fairly massive.

That stated, the Berg CX6 accommodates as much as six and may sleep 4 folks, so we suppose Berg in the end selected purchaser flexibility with its first launch. However now that it is increasing its lineup, a three-/four-person trailer mannequin appears the logical subsequent step. The corporate reworks the identical 17.5 x 6.6 x 7.5-foot (5.4 x 2 x 2.3-m) shell from each the CX6 and CX3 right into a devoted three-person ground plan that may be outfitted with an elective fourth berth.
Not like the CX3, the CX4 brings again the signature slide-out rear bed room module from the CX6 however scales the scale of the mattress all the way down to a 79 x 59-in (200 x 150-cm) queen. Within the US, that may be a sq. inch wanting a correct residential-size queen, however in South Africa, it is really an extra-long mattress ever so barely narrower than the usual 74 x 60-in (188 x 152-cm) queen. No matter you name it, it shrinks from the 79 x 73-in (200 x 185-cm) “king XL” mattress within the CX6.

That predominant mattress joins what Berg refers to as a three-quarter mattress, which converts over from the vis-a-vis dinette simply in entrance of the rear slide-out. That brief mattress shall be good for a youthful baby to finish a three-member household format, and the elective 69 x 34-in (175 x 85-cm) single mattress that may be added through a right-side growth module rounds out the four-person setup.
Not like the CX6, the CX4 doesn’t provide an elective single mattress growth throughout the aisle on the left facet, dedicating the exterior space aft of the facet entry door to the kitchen pantry and fold-down worktop. The kitchen gear, in the meantime, is situated fore of the entry on a dual-slide setup with the bigger unit housing the versatile dual-burner range/griddle, sink, small drying rack/secondary worktop, and a great deal of storage for dishes, cooking instruments and utensils.

The slide-out within the nostril field subsequent to the first galley homes a fridge/freezer of as much as 90 liters, and people wanting extra chilly storage can add a second fridge slide instead of the drawer stack on the range/sink slide-out. With a great deal of area within the pantry, they will not be left with out ample storage both means.
A 270-degree swing-out awning gives a great deal of protection over prime the galley facet of the trailer. In South African’s enviable custom, the camper additionally comes geared up with excess of what’s connected to the unit itself, carrying dishes and cutlery for everybody on board, a Sq. aluminum pot set, a 3-L kettle, a chopping board with chef’s knife and carving fork, and different widespread kitchen necessities.
Again on the within of the doorway, the hybrid toilet takes up the complete width of the trailer’s front-end. It would not cut up the bathe and bathroom areas with a correct divider, nevertheless it does seem broad sufficient to be thought-about a semi-dry design, with a rest room at one finish, sink and ground drain on the different, and bathe head and controls instantly in between. The taps are fed by a 150-L contemporary water tank and fuel/electrical water heater.

The CX4’s customary options package additionally features a 100-Ah lithium battery, 1,600-W Victron inverter, shore energy hookup and a pair of sand ladders (traction boards) mounted to the entrance. The two,650-lb (1,200-kg) trailer is in-built no-nonsense model atop a galvanized metal ladder body with a leaf spring-cushioned 2.5-ton stable axle holding the 17-in metal wheels in place. These wheels roll in cooperation with 265/70R17 Basic Grabber all-terrain tires.

Accessible choices embody awning facet panels, a Nationwide Luna 90-L fridge for the nostril field, a microwave, added lithium battery energy and a 400-W photo voltaic charging system.
