Swift Caravans 2018 - First Look

[@mysticpluck8]

I must say Andrew, your photography is so good! So much better than many others that I have seen. You do these beautiful caravans justice. Thanks for sharing!

[@andrewjditton]

Ahh, thank you so much for saying so :)

[@JonHowardPhotos]

Well done video. The European caravans are so much more aesthetically pleasing than what I see here in the States. You've done a great job showing them off.

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks Jon!

[@ShannaTrenholm]

So good, Andrew--a super pro First Look--fantastic job, as usual!

[@andrewjditton]

Thank you dear Shanna

[@aprilasbahr]

Beautiful beautiful beautiful!!!

[@RailAdventUK]

That new sprite looks superb! Great video as always 😊

[@andrewjditton]

Thank you!

[@SimonIngram]

Thanks, Andrew

[@2bczar4u]

The European market seems to have a lot classier finishings than the NA market. I think winnebago tried to copy but their designs are really impractical and pricey. The fridges seem relatively small but maybe that is just because of the type of camping done and that you don't have to haul all your groceries around because you are going to the middle of nowhere for 2 weeks!

Am so glad I found your channel :)

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks, and welcome aboard!

[@GaetanHobby]

Another great vidéo andrew.thank you ☺☺☺

[@jeanforlano5734]

Nice detail of swift top of the range. I have champagne taste on a beer budget. Thank you for sharing the new looks.

[@andrewjditton]

I think a lot of us have champagne taste and beer budget! ;@)

[@dawnallard6841]

Ummm. Prefer the Swifts new range to the Baileys. Like the Conquerer range, not sure about the Giraffe print curtains though.

[@MrRationalDebate]

Hi Andrew. The first thing I want to know is can I tow it. If I have to change my tow vehicle that's going to affect my decision greatly. Next is on road price, insurance and dealer network. I don't want to have to travel enormous distances to get parts and service. All the safety and luxury features are important but if these first priorities aren't listed I may be wasting my time reviewing them. I do like your review style and I'd like to know more about the heating and cooling equipment. Thanks.

[@andrewjditton]

Hi, I'm glad you like the style, thanks! These 'First Looks' do not pretend to be reviews, they are...well, a First Look at products when they are launched to give people an idea of what to check out at shows. Many details are still not available at the launch either. If I spend time with a caravan then I can review it properly, as I am doing right now with my Adria. Cheers!

[@mrsb2914]

If I win the lottery I'd get the top of the range Swift, ah what luxury

[@hettysmotorhomeadventures4860]

Very well done big 👍up

[@andrewjditton]

Cheers Martin!

[@Nicoya]

What's the purpose of the handles on the outside corners? Are they expecting you to just pick up and carry them by hand when your car breaks down?

[@andrewjditton]

To manoeuvre the caravan by hand when it is detached from the car. Which you can do with smaller European caravans.

[@Nicoya]

Must be awfully light then!

[@nickjennings3500]

Hi Andrew, I noticed in your latest video that the Caravan Steps with hand rails that dealers & manufacturers use when displaying new models. I have tried to find out where one can purchase such items, but to no avail. I think they would be a great help to people such as me who are a bit wobbly on their pins. Any ideas? Regards Nick

[@maggieleroy3184]

Nick Jennings Hello Nick, they are not that difficult to find! Just google for: two step stairs with handrail and you get options and pictures. Many boating companies sell them (Boatliftanddock.com) and mobilehomeliving.org also has steps for trailers and mobile homes I am sure there are many more companies who can help you! Good luck! Bye Maggie

[@andrewjditton]

Wow! Thanks for that Maggie as I'm afraid I don't have a clue. My brother is a wheelchair user and I'm amazed at what is out there to help people get around. Cheers!

[@andrewjditton]

Maggie beat me to it! I can't say fairer than that!

[@angelbreaker3244]

About chance of pray cattolic liturgy in Church van?!

[@beverlyhartsfield5348]

how do these compare to airstream?

[@explorer806]

About a quarter of the price!

[@skipdavis6061]

Two things. You need a wide angle lens and less useless panning like going bottom to top of the shower plumbing!

[@andrewjditton]

Cheers for that, and I have to say that having reviewed the footage I do agree with you. In my recent Adria walk-through I switched cameras to one with a wider lens and it was much better. The less panning the better. I am mindful though that some people want to see the type of shower head (EcoCamel, regular, tubular etc), whether there is a vent/hanging rail, and then the size of the base. The trick is to do that without making people seasick! Thanks again for letting me know how I can improve, much appreciated.

[@explorer806]

Going from bottom to top with a camera is a "tilt", strictly...

[@albion2742]

You didn't say much,no length weight or price.

[@andrewjditton]

This is a First Look to give you the Look & Feel of the new models. It is not a review. Many such details are not yet confirmed at the launch, hence the link in the description.

[@crowolf65]

I would easily take the Swift basecamp over the Airstream basecamp.
