hi there

Up until two weeks ago we was set on buying a coachman VIP with fixed single beds.
This was until we bought a caravan magazine where the magazine tested a buccaneer clipper and i was smitten!! But not at the RRP £27,000. After hunting round i have found a few a lot cheaper than that, but none local to us. I am totally prepared to travel. But before i do has anyone of you lovely folks got one of my dream vans. And if so what are your findings.
Also am i mad to pay £500 to secure this van without viewing it in real life, while we wait another 2-3 weeks for our funds to clear. I have to say looking at the pictures i really really do love this caravan lol

I know it doesn't help but I'm in love with my buccaneer schooner 17  We literally walked into the caravan dealership and it was love at first sight, £500 deposit down and owned!!!

We have just got back from a weekend away at Stratford and the aircon was used for the first time and what a bonus that is 17

 

Best of luck on your search for you perfect van.

Hi we have the caravan of your dreams, and have got to say it is ours aswell. We ended up with full leather option, which wasnt what we were after but after seeing in the flesh, we were smitten aswell. We bought it from Caravanland. IT was the cheapest on the web i could find.
if you want anymore details email me at howard_penn at hotmail.com

Hi There we have the caravan of your dreams just back from France, the aircon was excellent and what a bonus. This is a great caravan but a little heavy when moving with the mover a lot of weight on the jockey wheel just be careful. We had a Crusader Super Cyclone before and we thought that was good but this is a quality caravan. Make sure if buying from new the off side awning rail is opened if you intend to use both sides of your caravan. I was told at the show that it was not a problem it would be open, when I collected the van it was not and I had a battle to get the dealer to open the rail as originally agreed prior to purchase by Elddis

Did you get the dealer to open out your rail? We have just bought a 2012 Buccaneer Caravel with the same problem and we want to fit a towing cover. Elddis and the dealer are in discussion but your experience is a useful precident which may help them to focus and resolve the problem.
