Swift

The new Swift Voyager 584 motorhome, based on a Ford Transit, offers a blend of luxury and value, according to Nick Harding. The 584 model features a fixed single beds and large garage floorplan, popular in Europe, and is priced from £67,495. It is a full four-berth, but the target audience is likely couples who might occasionally take grandchildren. The coachbuilt bodywork is wood-free with GRP panels and Styrofoam insulation, backed by a 10-year warranty. The Winter Pack, including heated underslung water tanks and en-route heating, is standard. The Ford 155bhp engine provides ample power; the automatic transmission option costs £1,795 and reduces payload by 53kg to 371kg. Standard cab features include air conditioning, tyre pressure monitoring, reversing camera, and a Zenec Xzent infotainment system with 9in touchscreen. Options include a microwave pre-fitting at £185 and a Thule two-bike rack at £315.

A selection of nine real caravan models whose names raise eyebrows. Among them: Compass Rallye 636, reminiscent of a Peugeot hot hatch but actually a six-berth giant; Swift Elegance Grande 860, whose 'elegance' contrasts with the need to empty the toilet; Freedom Jetstream Twin Sport, a name more fitting for an American hot rod than a Polish trailer; Adria Alpina Mississippi, whose stripes suggest a BMW Alpina copyright infringement; Coachman VIP 675, where VIP status poorly matches camping; Elddis Crusader Hurricane, named after a storm you wouldn't want to be in; Buccaneer Bermuda, named after a destination you wouldn't take such a caravan to; Swift Basecamp 6, marketed for adventurers but unsuited for off-road; and Campmaster King, whose 'royal' name belies its tiny size.
