We had the 2018 Buccaneer version. Be aware that on all model years the one thing that needs to be checked thoroughly is the front panel as they are prone to cracking. Normally the cracks are on top where the front panel meets the roof and cannot be seen in a normal inspection. For a new panel we were quoted over £9000 and for the repair about £4000. I am sure that same panels are used on the Buccaneers and the Crusaders.

If you go ahead with the purchase, big deposit with a couple of grand on hire purchase. Pay off the balance a couple of months later. If the cost is under £30k, pay a deposit using a credit card.

Wet,Wet,Wet sponsored by Elddis. Seriously, have the front and rear panels checked for damp. This one had a loose hinge bare on the RH front , it let water inside which rotted the front plywood ( Caravan is a 2020- with Solid construction) client was unaware of the extent.once the curtains, blinds and window rubbers the centre window and lh window frame were are wet/rotted, seems to be a common theme on Elddis caravans
