Are there any other owners of this model on the forum? We bought our 2001 model when it was eighteen months old from chelston in Taunton and have enjoyed every moment of our time with it. We didnt go out the day we bought it with any intention of changing from the twin axle caravan we owned at that time. We actually went with friends who were changing over their Bessacarr for a newer model. After mooching around the lines of M/Hs while our friends did their deal a salesman collared us and offered us more than we paid for the caravan to do a swap. It took less than an hour to commit ourselves to ten long years of pennypinching but havent regretted it for a moment. Being the rear bathroom model and only having beds for the two of us suits us fine. It gives us loads of room for relaxing in the evenings and lots of room up front for all my boys toys, Sat tv for me (football etc via headphones) freeview for her (soaps etc) I get to hog the large rear tall outside cupboard for all my fishing rods & metal detectors that go everywhere with me.
We still only have around 16,000 miles on the clock even though we have done trips to Spain once, Denmark once, Germany & France twice and also a month around Ireland this last summer. We keep the mileage down by ferreting around in our A framed Vauxhall Agila whilst on sites. It gets us places where the M/H would never go and at a lot more miles to the gallon. The Bessacarr has never ( touch wood) given us an ounce of trouble other than minor things , screws coming loose etc which I make a point of fixing as they happen. We have fitted Sat tv, Solar panel, refillable gas bottles, roof box and ladder and reversing camera oh and a Nature pure water filter which I consider my most worthwhile purchased extra. We also invested in a Fiamma zip awning which gets used when we are onsite longer than a few days. I look around at other M/Hs for sale at shows and quite honestly havent seen anything that remotely compares with our wonderful Bessie so it looks like we are in for the long haul and to be sure we get our moneys worth
