2007 Buccaneer Tourer Range

Statesman like in appearance, Buccaneer is one of the highest specification touring caravan ranges available today. Offering classic style and comfort across a 6-model line-up, the Elan 15, Caribbean and Argosy single axle, Clipper, Schooner and Caravel twin axle, offer truly affordable, value for money luxury.

Continuous improvement ensures that each season Buccaneer maintains its highly regarded status amongst the most discerning caravan buyers and the 2007 range is no exception.

The 2007 touring caravan range continues in the Buccaneer tradition. Clean, simple and elegant graphic designs with modern automotive touches give the Buccaneer range a distinctive style all of their own.

The stunning Seitz side and rear flush fitting privacy windows, exclusive to The Explorer Group in the UK, allow you to see out, but prevent your neighbours from seeing in. The tint helps to reflect rays from the sun that damage upholstery and can assist in keeping the interior cooler on the sunniest of days. Glare from the sun is also substantially reduced with minimal effect on the amount of actual light entering the vehicle.

All Buccaneers are built on the impressive BPW Swing V-Tech chassis with a Winterhoff WS3000 stabiliser. Explorer are also the first UK manufacturer to balance all alloy wheels giving you better stability, greatly reduced tyre wear and a smoother ride - A combination of chassis set up that provides superb handling for an unrivalled towing experience.

For 2007 we've even introduced a clever nose weight indicator built into the top of the jockey wheel to help you maintain the perfect nose weight and further reduce the risk of instability when towing.

The 'High Power' silver alloy wheels with a distinctive Buccaneer centre cap, and chrome effect rear light clusters and high level marker lights add a real touch of class to the exterior. All Buccaneers come complete with a spare alloy wheel as standard.

The front gas storage locker lifts effortlessly on gas struts to ease access and has been modified to accommodate the new BP Light as well as traditional steel gas cylinders.

Exterior locker doors provide access to under bed storage as well as 230v, 12v and television aerial output sockets. Along with the exterior gas barbecue point and awning warmer outlet, these vehicles are designed for you to make the most of the great outdoors.

The 2007 Buccaneer is packed with a host of improvements as soon as you step through the new one piece exterior door with its opening window and integral privacy blind and fly screen.

Upholstered in the deeply luxurious two-tone Lorenzo, the sprung upholstery is complemented by Stardust beige curtains and Claremount voiles to add a touch of class.

Total relaxation is afforded by the addition of large scatter cushions and decadent bolsters; all piped to blend beautifully.

The front chest of drawers complete with slide out table extension in all parallel lounges is now removable. By simply loosening the two restraining straps the unit is easily removed to create a wraparound seating area with the addition of the optional upholstered base and back rest cushions.

The large Heki roof lights also allow you to control the amount of daylight and ventilation easily within the caravan. They come complete with tensionless pleated blinds and built in fly screens.

Controllable electric lighting comes in the form of soft gold finish 12v eyeball spotlights and 230v wall lights, dual power ceiling and illuminated Heki roof lights. There is even a soft diode light to aid night-time trips to the washroom without disturbing your sleeping family and friends.

The styling continues with new soft gold edged control panels, sockets, light switches and colour coordinated Horrex folding doors.

Rich Aswald Ash veneer woodwork, wallboards and cabinets with soft gold handles, add to the overall feeling of total luxury. Decorative Travertine marble effect laminate is extended to all worktops and cabinets to finish the interior look.

Ample storage space is provided for all your essential touring equipment, clothing and food in the array of overhead lockers, wardrobe space, upholstered cocktail units, cupboards and drawers.

With Dometic air conditioning as standard on twin axles (optional extra on all single axle models), audio speakers to end washrooms and rear bedrooms, we've added even more to Buccaneer's high specification with a DVD/CD/MP3 entertainment center, with radio, and direct access jacking points for your TV and I-Pod/MP3 player.

The Bedroom

Supplied as standard on all fixed beds in the Buccaneer range, the exclusive 'So Comfortable' pocket sprung mattress is a traditional top quality deep sprung system with hundreds of springs encapsulated in individual pockets unsurpassed in the ability to supply all over comfort and support with no roll together. 'So Comfortable' is quite simply the most comfortable touring caravan mattress in the UK – Just try one for yourself!

All fixed beds in the Buccaneer range come with a one-piece metal bed frame with easy lift gas struts. This is designed to give you more comfort and easier access to the under-bed storage area.

The Kitchen

This is one of the most well equipped and practical touring caravan kitchens available.

The Spinflo 3 burner hob with rapid, high-speed multifunction burner can accommodate large saucepans up to 25cm, round and flat bottom woks up to 36cm and frying pans up to 24cm.

The linen effect Argent stainless steel sink is scratch resistant and comes complete with a space saving removable drainer to free up more work surface making meal preparation even easier.

The sink and hob covers are made from virtually unbreakable Chinchilla glass, totally hygienic, odour, scratch and stain resistant, and able to withstand hot pans and roasting dishes.

The removable drainers and the complementary chopping board all store neatly in the bespoke silver washing up bowl which can be left in the sink with the lid down whilst on tow.

Add to this the colour matched Prima Mark3 oven with illumination, 2 shelves and a microwave oven supplied as standard and a simple cooked breakfast to a full Sunday roast are easily catered for.

All twin axle Buccaneers have a 150ltr Dometic 7651L fridge freezer. Whilst the single axle models have the equally elegant RM7291L 93ltr power fridge with its curved Aswald Ash veneer door. Electronic ignition is standard on all models.
