I thought the fencing looked familiar, i bought Swift caravan from this company some 10 years ago. Nice to see it still going. Had 2 good years living out of my van.

A cracking, cracking caravan if I night say so. I took delivery in February of the 2022 model and am delighted with it. I noticed that the owner has modified it somewhat with a new splashback and shelf edging. I think I saw an extra cutlery drawer within the kitchen drawer as well as a door pocket. The extra kitchen flap cost me £109 but is worth it. The only thing I don't get is why Bailey didn't fit shock absorbers. A simple and inexpensive extra, they transformed by van's handling. I was fortunate to order just before a swinging price increase, and paid £400 less than the van you're selling.

Yes, we have just done a video today and they have increased by 30% since 2020. More increases on the new prices are still to come too.

Looks nice. Bit out of my league for a first caravan, but interested to know how the extra width impacts driving to sites on narrow twisty roads and through villages and towns where roads can be a bit tight. Does it make much difference to the driver towing?

Only on very narrow lanes, otherwise you don't really notice it driving, but wow what a difference when using it.

I would love an 8ft wide BUT, towing along narrow roads would freak me out. With my current van, there have been so many instances when lorries coming towards us have barely got past or even branches etc from side of road. Think I’d be a nervous wreck.

As standard, the 2020 model is 1499kg this one must have the plate upgrade if it is 1600kg. Doesn't mean you have to fill it. 🙂

@@lindakirk698 I enquired about that very thing and was told by a VOSA officer that, as long as the actual weights were correct for the towing vehicle if taken to a weighbridge then you were legal. The example he used was, an empty twin axel car trailer might only weigh 500kg but is capable of carrying a 3000kg car, so is plated at 3500kg, you can legally tow it empty with a vehicle only capable of towing say 900kg.... Of course, if you're car is not up to towing the caravan no matter how "empty" it is then that is another matter.

@@robowen8524 this is whst i said! too many nice layout caravans being up plated as an upgrade which effectively pushes up the mtplm. Takes them out of ordinary cars as tow vehicles. We saw a fab van and it should have been ok for us - except it was upgraded with an unnecessary uplate. So it went out of reach. Police will say "I dont care what you have in there. They will just look at car & caravan plates. (We Wont even get a chance to go to weighbridge!!? But it's been uplated & that means you can't tow it" Not everyone can afford to go out and get a new vehicle or tow with a white van or range rover! Our car was brand new 6 months b4 we got the van. Paid cash for it from pension pot. Suits us fine but will not allow a better van to be towed

@@lindakirk698 so the police are wrong, plated weighs were only a thing when there were restrictions with regard to peoples driving licence. As long as the actual weight you are towing is within the limits of the car, the max plate weight is effectively irrelevant.
