I say again, this is my experience and I won't buy another Swift - I'm sure others have had great vans but mines is a dud 
Anyone want to buy it???   
We have a Swift for acommodation at shows. Third time out was at the Caravan Show at the NEC where we were assisting on the Boab stand. Spend a lot of time on the Swift stand trying to sort out problems. Lets say 18 months later still have problems with it. It would be easier to say what is right with it then what is wrong.
Lets say we have (quickly touches wood) no problems with running gear. Electrics yes, oven yes, fire yes, microwave falling out, blinds, trim, shower door, toilet all had problems.
Dickinson who are Swift main dealers, do we trust them to fix the problems  . Come back from the second service with gas leaks, i.e. you can NOT trust them to do the basic safety checks. August bank holiday they ordered a replacement shower door. They have had it for 4 weeks but can not fit it for another two weeks!
Swift and their dealers??
Enough said

Hi we had a elddis superstorm from new and had no problems with it the build quality was good and it towed very well .we only sold it as we both got made redundant and the toys had to go . We have just bought an elddis avante 626 and this is just as good as the superstore but lacks a little in the luxury department but we have found the layout suits us better now that our kids are getting older and growing . It comes down to personal choice and what works for u however I would not hesitate in buying another elddis .

. Because they will assume your a  or it will soon be in the possesion of one . Re the elddis recomendation ive had an eldiss super scirocco for 18 months with no problemns but dont feel its as well made as my previous older abbey but they are all getting flimsier now . Go for a twin axle as the extra space and stability is superb and the disco is the perfect tow car for one .but ultimately the layout should decide .all the uk vans are much the same although the baileys do seem very popular now so that could be a reason to buy one or a reason not too . MY05 SE D3 Manual my first LR what a car
MY10 HSE D4 auto
MY14 XXV more buttons than the spaceshuttle

*Not correct, they are one of the most sought after models for living in summer and winter, better build quality, have better lay out than UK 'vans and the most desirable for the pikeys (they always have the best, how they come by them is a different matter) consequently they can get stolen and insurance company's don't take risks, they only like to take your money.
