The history of Bessacarr motorhomes originated from founder company Albert Skipper & Sons. The name was derived of the village Bessacarr, of which Albert Skipper was born, on the south east edge of Doncaster, South Yorkshire. In 1996 Bessacarr was bought out by the Swift Group. Using the Bessacarr name as the premium brand of Swift, they introduced the first two motorhomes at the NEC February show in 1997
