Swift Motorhomes 2018 - First Look

[@juliemix4806]

Thanks. It's always fun to see the new stuff. Like the Wi-fi feature. Cheers.

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks Julie. To be honest there weren't a huge amount of new gizmos to report on, but I guess they were working on consolidating their ranges.

[@dawnallard6841]

Like the look of the Kon-tiki.

[@davidofcoburg9279]

I'm enjoying your RV reviews. Downunda, Melbourne Australia.

[@andrewjditton]

Hello Melbourne! Thanks for tuning in, I'm glad you enjoy it. All the best.

Great First Look video Andrew...just wondered if you noticed if the new Swift Bessacarr 597 (twin rear beds) had garage doors on both sides?

[@andrewjditton]

Sorry Gary, I cannot remember. I know some of them did have doors on both sides and while my suspicion is 'yes', I cannot be sure. Sounds like you need to make a trip to the NEC - what a perfect excuse!

[@tagoooU]

Correction; Airstreams are selling at six Swift dealers in the UK.

[@andrewjditton]

Yes, you're right, I had a chat with their Airstream guy at the launch about it. Sadly there was no mention of Airstream made publicly on the day and no Airstream models on display which was a pity.

[@fedaykeen]

more my cup of tea...

Fabulous, fantastic video as always Thank you

[@hettysmotorhomeadventures4860]

Another big👍

[@RobinH8869]

Great video - how long is that Rio with the rear lounge / drop down bed?

[@andrewjditton]

No idea I'm afraid Robin. I put a link to Swift in the description but it looks like they've not updated their website yet. I'm sure if you go off last year's model you won't be far off.

[@fastmovingwaters]

Great videos Andrew! Can you buy Swift if your from the USA?

[@andrewjditton]

ou can, just as we can buy non-Euro spec Airstreams. I'd budget about US3-5,000 for shipping plus any customs charges. But remember any price advertised by a UK dealer will include 20% sales tax which you can deduct... and that will probably more than cover your shipping costs. You may have to then adapt the 230v electricity and gas systems for US use.

[@fastmovingwaters]

Andrew Ditton Thanks for info. I like the way you show the trailers. I think people shooting these videos should concentrate on the layout a little more.

[@tagoooU]

Swift is going to sell Airstreams in Europe.

[@darrenjones3681]

Andrew could I ask what you use to shoot your videos please? Very high quality

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks Darren! Mainly the Canon G7x and the iPhone 7 Plus. Recently I got a Sony A7Sii for low-light conditions.

[@mysticpluck8]

As a side note: Andrew, do you know if there are any problems with the "off-gassing" from the man made materials inside? ...or where I might find out?

[@andrewjditton]

It's a very interesting subject, but sadly one I know nothing about. i would imagine that there is a lot of off-gassing but I'm afraid I would only be using the means that you also have (i.e. the internet!) to find out. If I do get any info it sounds like a good idea for a vlog...

[@mysticpluck8]

From what I've seen so far, Airstream is the way to go because they use aluminum on the interior walls. Not a lot of wood in them either. I'd loo forward to you doing a vlog on the subject of off-gassing.

[@andyc2978]

Can you just sleep anywhere in a motorhome?

[@andrewjditton]

Hi Andy, excuse me for saying this but I cannot resist it... but the bed is the best place! ;@) Don't worry, I'm here all week.... But seriously, wild camping is illegal in England and Wales, and only tolerated in certain parts of Scotland. It's all to do with treading lightly and being discreet. There are a ton of resources out there on the internet about where you can and cannot park up. I'll warn you now though... expect a few late nights while you're researching! Good luck.

[@andrewthorpe2539]

I just don't know! Compare and contrast with Adria, Burstner, Hymer and Chausson...difficult! I like the twin bed layout, like the continental L lounge, would want some garage space for large items and cannot see the point of two settees opposite each other. However I would like to buy UK, there must be something out there suitable!

[@andrewjditton]

Well, there are lots of layouts and floorpans... not an easy choice to make though!

[@joelweidenfeld471]

I GUARENTY THERE IS NO VEHICLE PRODUCED THAT YOU WILL TAKE A BIGGER BATH ON THE RESALE VALUE,, NONE.

[@clgtrev]

Bolero 😩

[@andrewjditton]

Ruthless...
