Is the Buccaneer Aruba Skyliner a suitable family caravan?
The Buccaneer Aruba Skyliner is a high-specification 6-berth caravan designed for families seeking maximum interior volume. Built on a twin-axle chassis with an 8-foot wide bodyshell, it features a transverse island bed and a dedicated rear washroom. Its 2000kg MTPLM and premium equipment, including automatic self-levelling and underfloor heating, position it at the top of the Buccaneer range.
- Twin-axle 8-foot wide bodyshell measuring 8.16m in length.
- Six-berth layout featuring a fixed transverse island bed.
- E&P Leveling remote-controlled automatic self-levelling system.
- Alde 24-hour central heating and underfloor heating.
- Skyliner panoramic glass sunroof with integrated blind.
Worth knowing: The 2000kg MTPLM requires a high-capacity towing vehicle. A 159kg payload may be restrictive for a six-berth family caravan. The 2.45m width requires careful navigation on narrow routes.
Buying a Buccaneer Aruba Skyliner
Who it suits
- Large families requiring six berths and a fixed bed layout.
- Tourers who prioritise interior width and floor space.
- Owners of heavy-duty towing vehicles capable of managing a 2000kg MTPLM.
Reasons to consider it
- It offers one of the widest interior living spaces available at 2.45m.
- Standard inclusion of automatic self-levelling simplifies pitching.
- The twin-axle configuration and AL-KO ATC provide enhanced towing stability.
What to check
- Verify the specific MTPLM on the weight plate as specifications can vary by year.
- Test the E&P Leveling system and remote control functionality.
- Inspect the Skyliner panoramic sunroof seals and blind operation.
- Confirm the service history for the Alde central and underfloor heating systems.
Worth knowing: The 159kg payload is relatively low for a vehicle intended to accommodate six people. The 8.16m total length and 2.45m width may limit access to some smaller pitches.

The Buccaneer Aruba Skyliner sits at a premium price point between 44995 and 52500, offering a high level of standard technology like the E&P system. While the LMC 695 Vip Exquisit provides a longer 8.5m body at a similar 2000kg MTPLM, the Aruba Skyliner focuses on a specific 8.16m footprint with a transverse island bed. The choice between these models often depends on whether the buyer prioritises the Skyliner's specific glass roof and heating features over the different dimensions offered by LMC or other Buccaneer models like the Commodore.
