Swift Challenger X 835 caravan
New for 2020, the 8ft-wide Challenger X offers increased interior space for extended appeal, while retaining the popular Challenger range’s classic looks, high-level specification and outstanding value. With a stylish, welcoming interior that’s ideal for families – from the greater storage to the fully equipped kitchen and washroom - the range is designed to help you enjoy your leisure lifestyle to the fullest.
The warm, natural tones and purple hues of the ‘Glacier’ soft furnishings scheme complement the ‘Aralie Sen’ woodgrain and gloss high-level lockers, creating a welcoming ‘home from home’ feel, while Swift AirWave cushioning further enhances seating and sleeping comfort.
And thanks to Challenger X’s 8ft-wide body, you can enjoy an expansive front lounge with an extra seven inches between seats* for valuable extra living space, plus a wider freestanding table. The 1.95m internal headroom and panoramic front sunroof emphasise the feeling of expanse, filling the area with natural light.
You can also enjoy a great night’s sleep with exclusive lightweight Duvalay Duvalite™ Apollo Luxe mattresses, featuring Freshtec for maximum airflow, fitted to all fixed beds. Challenger X offers larger make-up beds**, while beech slat seat and bed bases with sprung hinged tops or easy Accuride bed make-up system deliver extra comfort.
A retreat for all seasons, Challenger X is designed to help you stay cosy whatever the weather with Grade 3 classification for heating and thermal insulation. High-performing Alde radiator central and water heating is now fitted as standard, maintaining a comfortable climate with quiet, reliable operation.
There are two single axle and two twin axle Challenger X models available this season, including the new 850 layout comprising L-shaped front lounge, mid kitchen and transverse washroom plus rear island bed, ensuring an option to suit most needs.
