All Buccaneer Caravans Are Now Lighter
For 2012 The Explorer Group have concentrated on reducing the weight of their caravans. This is of great importance to customers due to ever-increasing fuels prices and car manufacturers responding to this by building lighter cars with a reduced towing capacity. However, the quality of construction has not been compromised. The major focus has been on product development and using advanced materials technology. This allows the new caravans to be light whilst still feeling strong and well built.
