Buy or hire the Venise if...
- you want one that is 717kg lighter empty
A close match for the Cadix in size and weight, giving buyers another styling option in Lider's camping trailer line-up. Same 205cm length as the Cadix and 10cm narrower, so the choice between them is about what fits your garage rather than what it will carry.
