Bessacarr E540 2007

Motorhome Pig is proud to offer, as a broker, this much-loved 2007 Bessacarr E540 — a low-mileage, 2-berth coachbuilt on the Fiat Ducato base, available to view in the Annan area, Dumfriesshire.

In the owners' own words: "We've owned and loved 'Bessie' for 11 years, and only wish we'd got into motorhoming sooner, for a more relaxed life! She's typical of Bessacarr build quality — with much more thought than other manufacturers."

Lounge & beds

A 2-berth that sets up as two single beds or one large double, with loads of storage for bedding under both side seats. Both driver's and passenger seats swivel round to create a lovely, cosy sitting area. There are closing blinds all round — including the front windscreen and side windows — keeping things cool during the day and snug at night. Four spotlights give a warm atmosphere in the evenings, and there's an included television secured in its own dedicated TV area, served by a roof-mounted omni-directional aerial with an amplifier. Throughout their ownership the upholstery — including the cab seats — has been kept under covers.

Kitchen

A well-equipped kitchen with plenty of storage, including a stylish rotating store area for cutlery and pans and further cupboards above the work surface. There's a STOVES cooker and grill with three gas rings and one electric plate, a microwave above, and a notably large fridge with a small freezer section — a well-thought-out touch typical of Bessacarr — with cupboards above and below.

Washroom

The spacious end washroom is what sold the van to the owners in 2015 — it makes moving around easy and offers loads of storage: a wardrobe with drawer unit, a three-shelf double-access cupboard beside the washbasin (replaced last year), and a good-sized cupboard above the cassette toilet. Please note the owners advise the rounded sliding shower door had a crack when they bought the van and has been repaired; as they've always used campsite facilities, the shower itself hasn't been used during their ownership.

Heating & controls

A combi boiler under the right-hand seating provides heating for the winter months and hot water year-round, all managed from the overhead control panel above the habitation door.

Extras & additions

Over their ownership the owners have added a solar panel, a reversing camera, mirror protectors, an insulated windscreen cover for extra warmth in winter, and a wind-out sun awning that sets up in minutes. Also included: an interlocking sponge pathway for outside the habitation door, an internal stick-on flyscreen, a step stool, EHU cables and hose reel, headlight protectors with European light deflectors, plus some additional spares.
