Swift Bessacarr 495 – 2018 Caravan

This used 2018 Swift Bessacarr 495 is a premium single-axle 2-berth touring caravan that offers boutique-level comfort for couple's touring. Known as a "By Design" range from the Swift Group, the Bessacarr name is synonymous with high-end fabrics, sophisticated styling, and a comprehensive specification.

Built on an AL-KO chassis with a Maximum Technical Permissible Laden Mass (MTPLM) of 1454 kg and an unladen mass (MRO) of 1302 kg, it provides a solid, balanced, and exceptionally stable towing experience. It is a genuine four-season tourer, coming fully loaded from the factory with the premium Alde wet central heating system, a roof-mounted solar panel, and a Truma motor mover already fitted to take all the physical stress out of parking.

  • WHAT OWNERS LOVE ABOUT THE BESSACARR 495
    • The Boutique End Washroom: Owners absolutely love the full-width rear bathroom configuration, which functions like a hotel dressing suite with an independent backlit vanity mirror, massive changing space, and a separate domestic-style shower.

    • Silent, Draft-Free Heating: The dual-fuel Alde wet central heating system is a massive favorite for all-weather caravanners, providing silent, radiator-style warmth evenly throughout the caravan.

    • Premium Woodwork Finish: Reviewers frequently praise the interior aesthetics, noting that the rich, glossy overhead locker doors combined with cream accents give the caravan an open and high-end feel.

    • Effortless Pitch Positioning: Despite being a solidly built premium caravan, owners say maneuvering onto driveways or tricky campsite pitches is entirely effortless thanks to the pre-fitted Truma motor mover.

    • The Social Lounge Area: The long front parallel bench seats are perfect for stretching out during the day, illuminated beautifully by the massive panoramic front sunroof.

  • INTERIOR HIGHLIGHTS
    • Lounge: Long twin parallel bench seats finished in premium Bessacarr upholstery with matching scatter cushions and armrests. This area functions as two long single beds or pulls out smoothly to create a massive double bed.

    • Washroom: A full-width rear dressing room featuring a fully lined walk-in separate shower cubicle, a surface-mounted vanity washbasin with storage underneath, a Thetford electric-flush cassette toilet, and an Alde heated towel rail.

    • Kitchen: A fully appointed central kitchen galley equipped with an integrated digital microwave, a 3-burner gas hob with an additional electric hotplate, a separate gas oven and grill, a multi-directional extraction fan, and a modern Dometic under-counter fridge.

    • Technology: Packed with convenient tech, including a Vision Plus digital TV amplifier, built-in Kenwood audio speakers, and dual FireAngel safety alarms.

  • EXTERIOR & TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS
    • Manoeuvrability: Pre-equipped with a high-performance Truma Motor Mover system to easily guide the caravan into position via remote control.

    • Off-Grid Power: Features a permanent roof-mounted solar panel to keep the leisure battery continuously topped up on off-grid locations.

    • Climate Matrix: Controlled by the intelligent Alde touchscreen command panel to orchestrate seamless hot water and central radiator heating schedules.

    • Towing Package: Built on an AL-KO galvanised chassis with heavy-duty alloy wheels, external side-access locker doors, a status TV antenna, and a rear-mounted rail assembly ready for a Thule bike rack.

  • FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    1. What makes the Bessacarr range special? Bessacarr was manufactured as a premium line by the Swift Group. It takes standard lightweight single-axle dimensions but packs the interior with higher-tier woodwork finishes, premium furnishings, and Alde wet central heating as standard.

    2. Can I tow this caravan on a standard UK driving license? Yes. The Maximum Technical Permissible Laden Mass (MTPLM) is 1454 kg. Because this sits well within standard towing parameters, it can be legally towed by anyone holding a standard UK car driving license when paired with an average family car or SUV.

    3. Is there a motor mover installed? Yes, this specific Bessacarr 495 includes a pre-fitted Truma motor mover system. This allows you to easily engage rollers onto the tires and navigate the caravan onto tight driveways or pitches using a wireless remote.

    4. How does the heating system work? It features the industry-leading Alde wet central heating system. Controlled by a digital touchscreen interface, it quietly circulates heated glycol fluid through wall radiators and the floor perimeter, offering uniform domestic home comfort.
