Balikesir Hakkında

Having shores on both the Marmara and Aegean Seas, extending from the oxygen-rich Mount Ida to the pristine cliffs of the Kapidag Peninsula, Balikesir is the most valuable and versatile geography for caravanning in Turkey. However, this versatility is also the ultimate durability test for caravans.

The Danger of Unbraked (Under 750 Kg) Caravans in Mount Ida and Kapidag

Entering the steep routes of Balikesir with the "under 750 kg unbraked" caravans you frequently see online is a death trap. While going downhill from the narrow, cliffside dirt curves of Erdek Kapidag Peninsula or the steep ramps of Edremit Mount Ida, an unbraked caravan will push your passenger car (jackknifing) and force you off the road. For your family's safety, you must strictly use O2 Certified (over 750 kg) heavy-duty caravans equipped with AL-KO or KNOTT braked torsion axles on these routes. At River Caravan, we only manufacture heavy-duty caravans with safe braking systems.

Monobloc Shield Against Ayvalik and Cunda's Salty Humidity

The fierce poyraz winds and highly iodized humidity coming from the sea on the Aegean coasts (Ayvalik, Cunda, Burhaniye) rot the wood of classic screwed-paneled caravans and cause them to leak. River Caravan's Monobloc caravans, molded from a single piece of fiberglass, offer a 100% leak-proof guarantee against sea salt and corrosion.

Full Insulation for Manyas Bird Paradise and Forest Camps

Experience all forms of nature in comfort with our vehicles equipped with luxury pleated fly screens against the dense mosquito population by the lakes, and XPS sandwich insulation and Diesel Heater (Webasto) systems against the freezing night frost of Mount Ida.
