Just seen this on the Swift website

https://www.swiftbasecamp.co.uk

No doubt the naysayer dinosaurs will be along to rubbish the very thought. There will be no where to fit the mattress topper and 32" TV & Sat Dish for goodness sake.
 ;)

 But I think Swift should be applauded for recognising the change that will be upon us before we know it. And the need to engage a younger clientele with ever smaller, lighter tow cars.

 Whether we like it or not, this is the future, not getting bigger
8ft wide indeed !

Well done Swift.  :)

Now, where did I leave my surfboard and bike ?

Nice - this is just the sort of thing I wanted about 5-years ago when we camped but wanted a little luxury. 

Of course now I have the caravan :)

I looked at them yesterday at the NEC.  It's a similar concept to the Knaus Sport and Fun. 

There were a few toy tuggers there.  Good to see

It depends on configuration brue but they start around the £15k mark

Thanks Jay.Smile

The design concept has been around for awhile hasn't it but this is a better looking layout..

It's addressing a section of the market that has been missed.

From our point of view the Knaus does what we want it to do better but if you want or need something closer to uk spec then this is a very good option.

Whilst not what we would want I do wish Swift every success with this for having the vision and courage to bring it to the market. How about something similar on a motorhome chassis?!

I also like it. If you are a tenter then something like this would be a great first caravan.

Love it -- It looks great..  Will suit the outdoor enthusiast and those who tour.

There will also be older people who don't do "that sort of thing" who won't like it.
