The Bessacarr E540 may be one of the smaller models in the Swift Group’s prestigious lineup, but don’t be fooled; it’s got big ideas packed into a nimble frame. Built on a Fiat Ducato chassis and measuring just under 6.5 metres, it’s a firm favourite among couples who want luxury in a compact footprint. If your idea of freedom involves sleek styling, a French bed layout and a motorhome that doesn’t feel like driving a bus, this one ticks many boxes.
This model is designed to maximise interior comfort without overstepping size boundaries. The fixed bed means no faffing about at bedtime, and the washroom is cleverly tucked into the corner to leave space for a spacious lounge and kitchen area. It’s ideal for touring towns and villages where narrower roads and tighter pitches make a difference.
You’ve parked up at a quiet little site in Northumberland. Stars are out, the air’s crisp, and the heating is on. You nip out to the shower block, and when you return... your van’s been sideswiped by someone attempting a heroic (but hopeless) reverse into the adjacent pitch. If you’ve got a solid policy with accidental damage cover, the repair bills won’t ruin your next tour.
The Bessacarr E540 is a tempting target thanks to its quality fittings and well-known brand name. Make sure you’re covered for theft, and consider investing in extras like a steering wheel lock, extra door security, or a motion-detecting alarm. Even better if you’ve got CCTV at your storage location.
The E540 offers a wonderful blend of compact driveability and comfort that feels far more spacious than you’d expect. But like any valuable vehicle, it needs protection that’s as thoughtful as its design. Getting the right insurance is a simple but important part of owning a motorhome like this.
