Campers You Can Tow Without an EB License

Don't have an EB license? No problem. In SA, anything up to 750kg can be towed on a standard Code B. Kampi has over 133 campers that fit the bill, folding tent trailers, lightweight popups, even compact off-road rigs that weigh in under the limit. You don't need to go write your EB to get out there. These campers sleep well, have proper kitchen setups, and are honestly easier to tow and set up than the bigger units anyway. Every listing on Kampi shows the license type, so there's no guessing.

About No EB License Required

Light trailers are at home on any of SA's main highways. N1, N2, N3, N4, all fine. But don't think lightweight means tar-only. Plenty of these sub-750kg trail campers are built for gravel and 4x4 tracks. Pilanesberg, the KZN Midlands, Garden Route, Magaliesberg, and coastal camps along both Capes are all popular with Code B campers. Just check the listing for the exact GVM and what tow vehicle you'll need.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the price on Kampi actually cover?
What you pay is the owner's rate for the camper plus Kampi's service fee for handling the booking and the payment. Where a camper carries Kampi cover, that cover costs R89 a day; not every camper carries it, some owners carry their own instead, and the camper's own page says which. There is no once-off admin fee. That was Kampi's pricing before 1 July 2026, and a booking made before that date can still show it. Most owners also add a once-off cleaning fee, and every owner asks for a refundable damage deposit. The camper's own page shows both, and what your dates come to, before you send a request.
How are the rental days counted?
Every day of the trip is charged, including the day you collect the camper and the day you bring it back. A Friday to Sunday trip is three days, not two, because both the collection day and the return day count.
When does the money actually move?
On most campers, nothing is charged when you send a request. You only pay once the owner approves it, and owners have 3 days to answer. A few campers are set up for instant booking instead and charge as soon as you book, the camper's own page says which. Either way, you pay Kampi online, never the owner directly.
Do I need a special licence to tow it?
Not necessarily. Up to 750kg you can tow on an ordinary Code B licence, the same one most drivers already have. Over that you need a Code EB. Every camper's page says which one it needs, and Kampi has a whole page of campers that need no EB at all.
What if I need to cancel, or something goes wrong?
Cancel a request before you have paid and nothing is owed, because nothing was ever charged. Once you have paid, cancelling before the trip starts means a non-refundable booking fee of up to R189 may apply, and the rest is refunded according to the camper's policy. Cancelling once the trip has started, or on a listing with no cancellation policy set, refunds nothing at all: not the rate, not the cleaning fee, not the cover. The camper's own page shows its exact cancellation policy before you book, and it is worth reading before you pay.
Who am I actually renting from?
A private owner, not a franchise or a depot. Sending a request opens a message thread with them under their name, so you can talk before you pay anything. Their phone number and the exact pickup address open up once you have paid, not at the moment they approve. You collect the camper from them in person. Most owners have had an ID document, proof of address and the camper's papers approved by Kampi before their listing went live, though not every one of them has. There is no corporate credit or background check beyond that. What else stands behind them is the reviews they have earned on Kampi.
What is the license rule for towing a caravan in South Africa?
Simple: up to 750kg, Code B is fine. Over 750kg, you need a Code EB. The trailer's GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) is stamped on the number plate and in the registration papers.
How do I know if I need an EB license for a specific camper on Kampi?
Each listing shows it right on the page. Or just use the 'No EB License' filter when searching, it'll show you only the campers you can tow on a Code B.
Are lightweight campers less comfortable?
Not at all. A lot of popup trailers and tent trailers have proper beds, full kitchen gear, and outdoor awnings. You trade size for towability, and honestly, they're usually faster to set up than a big caravan.
Can I tow a lightweight camper with a standard passenger car?
Yes, as long as your car can handle the weight. Check the towing capacity in your owner's manual. Most SUVs and bakkies do 750kg+ without blinking. The listing will say what tow vehicle the owner recommends.
