Bessacarr By Design 835 – 2026 Caravan
This pre-owned 2026 Bessacarr By Design 835 is one of the most comprehensively specified touring caravans money can buy. Built by Swift Group exclusively for Couplands Caravans, the By Design range sits at the very top of the Swift family tree — taking the already impressive Elegance Grande platform and loading it with factory-fitted extras that would cost thousands to add separately.
At 1,965 kg MRO and a 2,250 kg MTPLM, you'll need a capable tow car — think along the lines of a Discovery, Ranger, or similar heavy-duty vehicle. It's well within reach on a standard UK licence, and the twin-axle chassis with AL-KO ATC trailer control keeps everything stable and planted on the road. With 285 kg of payload to play with, there's enough room for all your touring gear.
This particular example also comes fitted with a Powrtouch Evolution motor mover and the E&P hydraulic self-levelling system, so once you arrive on site there's no messing about with ramps, spirit levels, or trying to push two tonnes of caravan by hand. If you're looking for a seriously well-equipped used caravan that's ready for seasonal pitching or extended touring, this one ticks every box.

What Owners Love About The Bessacarr By Design 835
- No pushing, no levelling hassle — the Powrtouch Evolution mover and E&P self-levelling system mean you pitch up and settle in without breaking a sweat
- Warm in winter, cool in summer — Alde wet central heating with underfloor warmth teams up with the Truma Aventa roof-mounted air conditioning for genuine year-round comfort
- Off-grid confidence — the 200W solar panel keeps the leisure battery topped up, so you’re not constantly hunting for a hook-up
- Privacy where it matters — the split central washroom separates the bedroom from the living space, giving you a proper private suite at the rear
- 8ft wide means real room — at 2.45m wide, this caravan feels more like a small flat than a tourer, with space to move around without bumping elbows

INTERIOR HIGHLIGHTS
Bedroom The rear bedroom is a private retreat with a generous transverse fixed island double bed measuring 191cm x 141cm, fitted with a premium Duvalay mattress for a proper night’s sleep. Corner wardrobes and overhead lockers give you plenty of room for clothes and personal items, and a dedicated TV point means you can watch from bed without disturbing anyone in the lounge.
Washroom The split central washroom is one of the standout features of the 835 layout. On one side you get a full-height separate shower cubicle with a curved sliding door and the efficient Ecocamel Jetstorm shower head. On the other side is the Thetford cassette toilet and vanity basin with a chrome swivel spout tap, an Alde ladder towel radiator, and a shaving mirror. It’s a proper bathroom, not a cramped afterthought.
Lounge Up front, the spacious lounge sits beneath a large panoramic sunroof with integrated recessed lighting and speakers — it floods the space with natural light during the day and creates a great atmosphere in the evening. The seating converts into a second large double bed measuring 220cm x 128cm, and a freestanding dining table makes mealtimes comfortable.
Kitchen The central kitchen is well thought out with soft-close drawers throughout, a dual-fuel hob (three gas burners and one electric), a Thetford oven and grill, a built-in flatbed microwave, and a full-height Dometic smart energy selection fridge-freezer. The granite-look GRP sink and extractor fan round things off nicely. There’s real worktop space here — you can actually prepare a proper meal without playing Tetris.
Technology The Swift Command control system puts heating, lighting, and battery levels at your fingertips via the onboard panel or the smartphone app. A built-in Thatcham-approved alarm with tilt and motion sensors and integrated tracker provide serious security. The media package includes speakers and connectivity points throughout.

EXTERIOR & TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS
Built on Swift’s proven SMART Plus construction platform using timberless PURe bonding with impact-resistant GRP body panels, this is a bodyshell designed to last — backed by Swift’s 10-year water ingress warranty (subject to annual habitation checks).
The AL-KO galvanised steel chassis with twin axles and ATC electronic trailer control provides confident, stable towing even in crosswinds or when overtaken by HGVs. Underneath, you’ll spot the Powrtouch Evolution motor mover units on each axle — properly fitted and ready to take the strain on site.
On the outside, you’ve got 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, LED side marker running lights, a 200W roof-mounted solar panel, an external gas BBQ point, an external shower point, and both a 12V/TV point and a 230V mains socket on the side wall (Truma units confirmed in photos). Fully double-glazed opening windows with graphite grey tinted glass complete the picture. You can also verify this vehicle’s history through the CRiS website for complete peace of mind.
Grade 3 thermal insulation means this caravan is rated for year-round use, and with the Alde wet central heating system (including underfloor heating) and Truma Aventa air conditioning working together, you’re genuinely comfortable whatever the British weather throws at you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Has this caravan been damp checked? Every used caravan at Golden Castle goes through a thorough pre-sale inspection, which includes a full damp check. We’ll share the results with you when you come to view so you know exactly what you’re buying.
Can I tow this on a standard UK licence? Yes — the Bessacarr By Design 835 has an MTPLM of 2,250 kg, which is well within the limits for a standard UK licence. However, you will need a suitably powerful tow car with a rated towing capacity of at least 2,250 kg. Think along the lines of a Land Rover Discovery, Ford Ranger, or similar heavy-duty vehicle.
Will my car tow it? At 2,250 kg fully laden, you’ll need to check your car’s maximum towing capacity in the handbook or V5C. As a rough guide, many owners match this caravan with large SUVs or pick-up trucks. We’re happy to talk through your specific tow car when you visit.
What extras are fitted on this particular caravan? This example has a Powrtouch Evolution motor mover and the E&P hydraulic self-levelling system fitted. The factory specification also includes Alde heating, Truma air conditioning, a 200W solar panel, Swift Command, a Thatcham tracker, and the full By Design upgrade package.
Do you offer part exchange? Absolutely. We welcome part exchanges on caravans and motorhomes. Bring yours along when you visit, or give us a call to discuss.
