We had a 2016 Buccaneer with the BPW chassis and IDC. We now have a 2018 with what seems to be a BPW chassis with ALKO axles and hitch. I cannot recall the IDC on the BPW slowing us over bumps although it may have happened.

Alko now own BPW.

Alko now own BPW.

I am aware of that, but they probably needed to get rid of the BPW chassis still hanging around hence the mongrel chassis. Beauty is the drop down spare wheel instead of that terrible ALKO spare wheel carrier.

It’s a shame Alko haven’t adopted the BPW spare wheel design. Much superior.

Welcome to the forum. We did have a Shamal sometime back. It had the optional L shaped lounge with the long vertical window. This did cause some confusion om site with people who saw this and did not know of the option.

We use to own a Elddis crusader super sirocco L shaped lounge also a long vertical window x2 and at the seasonal site where it stop here a photo of it and a lot of them like the option
