Hi all,
Thanks for reading. I am considering upgrading to a recent model Buccaneer Cruiser but I don't know anyone who owns a Buccaneer or has owned one so I have a few questions:
Are Buccaneers any good over time?
What's the build quality like?
Spares availability - any good?
Any issues or problematic areas to consider?
Thanks!
Mark

Thanks for all of the comments. They are much appreciated.

I did note that it weighs 1953kgs (IIRC). That puts the train weight at almost 5 tonne! Good points about the on site inspection, particularly the potential damp issue!

I was looking at a 2018 model so thankfully it looks like it'll be one with the different material.

We have the 2018 which is after they changed the material for the front and rear panels. We upgraded the MTPLM to 2000kg and giving is extra payload as you really need an AWD motor mover on the caravan. We tow with a Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD 3.0l.
We also have an air con and Satellite dish fitted and have upgraded the two front bunk seats at our own expense as they tend to sag rather quickly. We love the underfloor heating as it makes a big difference to warming up and keeping the caravan cosy.
Will you be buying privately or from a dealership and if the latter is it a Buccaneer dealership?
