On which route?
Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

KBM ni gari mpya boss. I still have a KBK hiace thats never been overhauled, odometer reads 700k plus. Show me a Caravan KBA - KBF that can pull a route like Meru - Nairobi or Nakuru - Nairobi daily and has been a matatu since registration. Sheep mentality actually works and consumes less while at it.

Read about the new Caravan, NV350 and see why Nissan had to launch it aside from the space issues of older Caravan models.

I see many nissan caravan tour vehicles. If they can deal with the rough roads in our national parks then I don't see why they can't handle short tarmac distances of 150km, 250km etc at 80km/h.

I have respect for advice, this could see me cancel an order

On our route, there is a guy who used to have them operating under the name "Junior Mafia", last i checked they ply the Nairobi - Banana route. Not sure why he moved them, maybe he relocated. Maybe Caravans are good for town? I don't know... Seen several on the Kisumu route under Western Prestige Shuttle but never seen one that has aged gracefully.

All in all, i still believe the cheapest tool is always the best for the job, all factors held constant. Talk to someone who has owned a Caravan and hear what they have to say before you cancel your order.

I think a caravan is for somebody struggling, toyota hiace is what every able person would want to own
