Buccaneer Exterior Styling

Elegant and unique new 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 allow you to see out, but prevent people from seeing in. The tint helps to reflect rays from the sun that can damage upholstery and helps assist in keeping the interior cooler on the sunniest of days.

All Buccaneers are built on the impressive BPW Swing V-Tech chassis with a Winterhoff WS3000 stabiliser.

Balanced high-powered silver alloy wheels give you better stability, greatly reduce tyre wear and give a smoother ride – a combination of chassis set up that provides superb handling for an unrivalled towing experience. All Buccaneers come complete with a spare alloy wheel as standard.

All of the range has been fitted with a 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 front gas storage locker lifts effortlessly on gas struts to ease access and accommodates 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.

Interior Living Space

A key feature of the Buccaneer interior is the new luxurious Boavista upholstery co-ordinates with pelmets, curtains and loose removable carpets. 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.

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.

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

Rich Aswald Ash veneer woodwork, wallboards and cabinets with soft gold handles add to the overall feeling of total luxury. Decorative formica 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, audio speakers to end washrooms and rear bedrooms, we’ve added even more to Buccaneer's high specification with a DVD/CD/MP3 entertainment centre, with radio, and direct access jacking points for your TV and I-Pod/MP3 player.

The atmospheric lighting, soft gold finish 12v eyeball spotlights and 230v wall lights, dual power ceiling and illuminated Heki roof lights create the finishing touches.

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 multi-function 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 has an integrated drainer, is scratch resistant and comes complete with a washing up basin.

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.

Add to this the colour matched Prima Mark3 oven with illumination, two shelves and a new 700W microwave oven supplied as standard and everything from a simple cooked breakfast to a full Sunday roast is easily catered for.

All twin axle Buccaneers have a 150ltr Dometic 7651L fridge freezer. Whilst the single axle models have the equally elegant new Thetford 113ltr fridge. Electronic ignition is standard on all models.
