The six-berth 496’s layout, beginning behind the cab, comes with a spacious living area with dinette for four and extra seating for two which converts into sleeping quarters for four thanks to the addition of a drop down bed.

At the rear, a large comfortable fixed double bed is situated which features Duvalay Duvalite technology for a good night’s sleep.
‘Aralie Sen’ woodgrain with smoked oak inserts to the gloss upper locker doors combined with rich dark brown and cream soft furnishings gives a ’boutique hotel’ feel to the interior.
Suitable for all seasons, the Bessacarr 496’s powerful Truma Combi boiler, easily controlled by a new digital panel, and Winter Pack come fitted as standard.
Elsewhere, warmth can be found by way of the ambience created by the 496’s energy efficient LEDs and dimmable spotlights. Further plus points include a well equipped kitchen with Omnivent, walnut dash trim, vanity mirror lighting, wardrobe lighting and map pockets/wall pads.
Meanwhile, outside, standard features include reversing camera for easy manoeuvring, gloss white cab mirror covers and a roll-out awning.
