Swift Challenger

Swift's flagship Challenger range
Swift's flagship Challenger range

Tuesday, 03, Aug 2010 04:53

The Swift Caravans ethos is to manufacture great quality, functional tourers at reasonable prices. The Swift Challenger series continues this philosophy with seven well conceived layouts.

Swift's flagship Challenger range of caravans are fitted with energy saving LED lighting, shock absorbers and positive catches on over locker doors.

The 7'6" bodyshells sit atop an AL-KO galvanised steel chassis with Euro-Axle, whilst their market leading 6'5" of headroom provide airy interiors.

With MTPLM weights ranging from 1,387kgs for the 2 berth Challenger 480 up to 1,818kgs for the twin axle 6 berth Challenger 625. A 40 litre underfloor insulated fresh water tank with Autofill control system in the 620 and 625 twin-axle models.

Spacious walk-in showers are fitted in the two end-washroom models, the 480 and 530, and lined shower cubicles are fitted in the rest.

New model updates for the 2011 season will combine traditional construction methods with new modern materials. Fresh design specifications are set to radically change the interior and exterior look of the Challenger marque, to make the new Challenger even more refined

Ranging in price from £14,881 to £17,875 the current Swift Challenger line-up is:

2 berth Swift Challenger 480

4 berth Swift Challenger 530

4 berth Swift Challenger 540

4 berth Swift Challenger 570

4 berth Swift Challenger 580

4 berth Swift Challenger 620

6 berth Swift Challenger 625
