Buccaneer caravans - 2023 Essential Guide

About Buccaneer

Buccaneer is a British brand that can trace its roots right back to the 1960s. Known for excellent craftsmanship and innovation, the brand has never ceased to evolve and since 2017 has been part of the Erwin Hymer Group based in Consett, County Durham.

Unique to the Buccaneer range, all the interior walls are engineered with an entirely seam-free finish. As well as looking smart and fresh, it is also practical, being water and scratch-resistant and sustainably made to bolster its eco credentials.

The Barracuda is no exception; with Alde underfloor heating, taupe grey design and LED lighting, it has a stylish, sleek feel. There are four berths, an L-shaped lounge and double bedroom, meaning plenty of space to travel and entertain. At the front is the L-shaped lounge with a dedicated entertainment centre and the opportunity to change the space into a double bed at night. Sitting beside the lounge area is the kitchen, and this holds a Thetford oven/grill and hob, microwave, cutlery tray, storage baskets, a well-lit work area with energy-saving LED downlights and much more.

Moving through the caravan, the washroom has feature lighting, tap and shower accessories, acrylic edged worktops, improved storage and coordinating splashback and shower tiles. The vanity area has LED downlighting and dedicated sockets for your hair dryer and appliances. As well as an Alde anthracite heated ladder towel rail, it has mixer taps, towel hooks and a cabinet providing plenty of space for any lotions and potions. The Barracuda’s washroom is also split-style so can be used as an en suite or family washroom.

At the rear sits the bright and lavish bedroom with an island double bed that can be retracted, allowing more space in the day. It also has wardrobe space, lightweight, yet supportive mattresses and a bed frame with easy-lift struts for even more storage access.

Other features that are included with this twin-axle model are an external barbecue point, Grade III thermal insulation, flyscreens, Al-Ko chassis and 100W Truma roof-mounted solar panel. Plus, there are also optional extras you can add on as well to create your perfect caravan.

The elegant washroom sits beside the fixed double bed in the rear and has a very modern feel with fitted furniture, feature lighting, redesigned shower cubicle and acrylic edged worktops. It has improved storage, chrome heated ladder towel rail, washbowl basin with mixer taps and chrome fittings.

There is also an external barbecue point, 100W Truma roof-mounted solar panel, Grade III thermal insulation, twin USB charging point, spare wheel, quiet-close wardrobes and full-depth lockers.

There is plenty of wardrobe and storage space and the kitchen, which sits in the centre of the caravan, provides adequate stowage space in the form of pull-out baskets, locker doors and drawers, also.
