Practical ownership tips
Towing suitability
At 1,900kg MTPLM, your tow car needs a kerbweight of at least 2,235kg to meet the 85% guideline. Check towing capacity by reg or use the towing calculator to compare a specific car and caravan.
Available payload
The Bessacarr By Design 835 has approximately 180kg of user payload. This must cover all personal belongings, water, gas, awning, and accessories. Overloading affects handling and is illegal.
Before you buy
Request a habitation check or damp survey for any used caravan. Check the service history, tyre age, chassis condition, and whether the CRIS registration matches the seller. Specifications vary by year and trim level.
A flagship 8ft-wide twin-axle tourer.
The Bessacarr By Design 835 is a high-specification, 4-berth caravan built on a twin-axle chassis. Measuring 7.98m in length and 2.45m in width, it is designed for seasonal stays and long-term touring. It features a transverse island bed and a boutique-style central washroom, supported by an Alde central heating system. With a typical price range between £24,500 and £38,000, it offers a substantial 180kg payload for extended trips.
- Twin-axle chassis with a 1900kg MTPLM and 180kg payload capacity.
- Transverse island bed layout with a full-width central washroom.
- Alde central heating system and high-grade insulation for year-round use.
- Kitchen equipped with an illuminated splashback and high-specification appliances.
- Panoramic front sunroof and large Heki rooflights for natural light.
Worth knowing: The 1900kg MTPLM necessitates a heavy, powerful tow vehicle. A 7.98m length and 2.45m width can make navigating narrow lanes and tight pitches difficult. Twin-axle configurations typically incur higher servicing and tyre replacement costs.
Buying a Bessacarr By Design 835
Who it suits
- • Seasonal pitch users who require maximum interior living space and floor width.
- • Couples or small families seeking a permanent rear bedroom with en-suite facilities.
- • Winter tourers who rely on high-grade thermal efficiency and consistent central heating.
Reasons to consider it
- • The 8ft-wide body shell provides significantly more internal volume than standard models.
- • The twin-axle setup offers increased stability during motorway towing.
- • High-end interior finishes, including premium upholstery and 'By Design' soft furnishings.
What to check
- • Verify the operation of the Alde central heating system and check fluid levels.
- • Inspect the condition of the Duvalay mattress on the fixed island bed.
- • Confirm the service history of the twin-axle chassis and braking system.
- • Check the integrity of the panoramic sunroof seals.
Worth knowing: The 2.45m width is wider than standard caravans, requiring extra care when overtaking or cornering. Ensure your driving licence permits towing a trailer of this weight (1900kg MTPLM).
Compare the Bessacarr By Design 835 with similar models
| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bessacarr By Design 835 | 4 | 1900 kg | 7.98 m | £24,500 to £38,000 |
| Bessacarr By Design 845 | 4 | 1900 kg | 7.98 m | £24,000 to £38,500 |
| Bessacarr By Design 850 | 4 | 1830 kg | 7.98 m | £24,500 to £38,000 |
The Bessacarr By Design 835 sits at the top of the range alongside the 845 and 860 models, all sharing the 7.98m length. While the 835 focuses on the transverse island bed and centre washroom layout, buyers might consider the 850 if they require a lower MTPLM of 1830kg. Compared to the Buccaneer Cruiser, the Bessacarr is slightly longer and wider, prioritising internal space over ease of storage. The choice between these models often rests on the specific internal configuration and the towing capacity of the lead vehicle.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 180kg payload by distributing heavy items over the axles to maintain stability.
- Consider fitting a twin-axle motor mover to assist with precision positioning on pitches.
- Regularly check tyre pressures on all four wheels to ensure even wear and fuel efficiency.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Underestimating the turning circle required for a 7.98m twin-axle caravan.
- • Attempting to tow with a standard family car that lacks the required 1900kg braked towing limit.
Worth knowing: Payload is 180kg; heavy optional extras like motor movers will reduce this allowance.
