“Our winner in this category is a star in its class in both name and nature – for a number of reasons. “Buccaneer won the Caravan Magazine judges’ praise – predictably – for its high level of equipment, superlative luxury ambience – and also for the way in which models have been elevated for 2026 in providing enhanced payload.

“That’s super-important in terms of the level of equipment that arrives as standard on caravans in this class and the amount of payload left for owners to add in additional kit.

“Buccaneer has answered the increased payload need by unveiling, for 2026, two ranges within the Buccaneer brand, Starliner and Skyliner. Starliner models have uprated chassis, creating, in the Barracuda, a payload of 328kg; that’s the difference between the MTPLM of 2,250kg and the MIRO of 1,922kg. (The payload on 2025 Barracudas is 160kg.)

“The Starliner Barracuda comes with, as standard, air-conditioning, a mattress of enhanced quality – and televisions in both the bedroom and the lounge.

“All Buccaneer caravans come with automatic self-levelling and underfloor heating as standard.”
