Inside the Kalahari-X you'll find everything needed for comfortable touring and extended adventures.
The spacious sleeping area comfortably accommodates two adults and includes a premium 50mm memory foam mattress with an anti-condensation mat for improved comfort.
Large panoramic windows, an additional rear ventilation window and blackout canvas technology help regulate light and temperature while creating a bright, comfortable interior.
