Advantages: Good value for money and spacious Disadvantages: Could do with extra electricity socket outside
We bought our caravan new last year (2007) and it has exceeded all our expectations. With three small children holidays can be very expensive so caravaning offers a good cheaper alternative. The caravan is spacious and well equiped. There is a good size fridge/ freezer and oven/ grill so you get the camping feel with some home comforts. Bed space and comfort is good also at the front and rear. There is a put up bunk as the fifth bed and this is easy ... ...The bathroom is small but functional. Storage space is plentiful with over head lockers, under bed storage and a good sized cupboard. We had an extra electricity socket put on the outside of the caravan which is great for when the awning is up and you need a light or to charge a phone. Overall excellent caravan at a great price which is easy to tow. ... more

Advantages: Made by Swift, quality fittings, flexible layout, light weight and easy to tow Disadvantages: Bit dark at the dining room end
Bought this van in March 2008 and chose it because of flexible layout for two and light weight. The interior is modern and spacious, unlike many vans where the wood loooks very orange and old fashioned. Rear bunk was easy to remove and now makes a great fixed bed when travelling abroad or easily converts to a dining room with big couches at the front if you want extra space in the day. Quality of fittings are excellent and most are identical to those ... ...of France last summer and achieved around 36 mpg with a Saab 9-3 1.9TD. Large front window is really attractive, but like many others we had a problem and it has been replaced. Now seems fine. Main down side is the rear seems a liitle dark compared to our previous Swift as there is no rear roof light, only one side window and no door window. Fitted LEDs under the shelf at one side and am making enquiries about posibility of having a door with window ...

Advantages: light stable and affordable Disadvantages: needs mor e power points
I purchased the van new in July 2008 after searching for a 2 berth van with a fixed bed. I removed the small bunk bed and purchased a 6ft 6in x 4foot mattress. This fits perfectly across the rear bed, still with plenty of storage under the bed . I therefore now have a very comfortable "fixed bed" with ample room , unlike a standard "fixed bed" van with very small lounge seats. The van will be fitted with an extra power point. I have had to replace ... ...and outer layers due to the outer layer rubbing onto the inner layer whist being towed. This seemed to be caused by the very thin outer layer of the window. Having been touring now for 20 years with different vans I would recommend the van for ease ot towing and stability . The downside would be the position of the spare wheel and the rather cheap door lock. ...
