E500 Low Profile SeriesE510 Compact / E520 / E540 / E560

Individually styledBeautifully built

This four-layout range combines Bessacarr’s high standards of comfort and facilities with the streamlined design of a genuinely low profile range. This exceptionally stylish range is designed for couples and includes a Compact two berth E510 model. New to all layouts is energy saving LED lighting which contributes to a 70% reduction in lighting power consumption. This prolongs battery life, making it realistic to power the system from a solar panel, for which there is now roof and wiring preparation.

The E540 model has been lengthened from 6.54m to 7.04m to offer longer seating and single beds and a new spacious walk-in washroom. All washrooms feature a separate shower area or cubicle, an electric flush cassette toilet and handy storage space with washbasins neatly integrated into a useful cupboard unit and an overhead storage locker. The E530 layout has also seen the same increase in length to allow for more central space and a new 175 litre Smart Energy Selection fridge freezer. For those who want a more compact model that is easy to drive and manoeuvre, the E510 is ideal at less than 6m long.
