The Bessacarr By Design 565 sits in a competitive segment of 7.3 metre four berth caravans. While the Bailey Unicorn Cadiz and Elddis Affinity offer similar twin bed layouts, the Bessacarr is defined by its specific 'By Design' inventory and 1545kg MTPLM. The choice between these models often depends on a preference for the Alde heating system and the specific aesthetic of the Bessacarr woodwork versus the slightly different dimensions and weight profiles of its rivals.
