New Swift Group caravans for 2015

Swift is to launch 10 new models across six of its ranges for 2015.

Among them are three additional layouts in both of the new flagship ranges, Swift Elegance and Sterling Continental, which were launched in February this year.

A new island bed model appears in both the Swift Challenger and Eccles SE ranges.

In the Eccles Sport range, an offside dining area layout is new; that’s the 524. And the Sprite range is to get a new addition, a Major 4SB, with a transverse island bed.

Swift Elegance and Sterling Continental

Swift has expanded its two new flagship ranges following sales which have exceeded expectation. There are now five single-axle layouts and two twin-axle layouts in the Elegance and Continental ranges, which have Swift’s SMART HT timberless body and floor construction.

The three new layouts are:

Swift Elegance 530 and Sterling Continental 530, with side dining areas and end washrooms.
Swift Elegance 565 and Sterling Continental 565, with twin beds.
Swift Elegance 630 and Sterling Continental 630, twin-axle models with transverse island beds.

Changes for 2015 include new woodgrain in the Elegance range, wiring provision for a motor mover, and AL-KO Secure wheel locks are now to be standard on all the Elegance and Continental models.

Décor in the Continental range features white marble-effect kitchen surfaces and headboards with a white, wave-pattern on a fawn background. Pale, shiny gold shades are in cushions, curtains and long-pile rugs.

Conqueror

In the three-model Conqueror range the pale cream stain-resistant Impala upholstery fabric is to be now standard. New woodgrain is introduced. Chrome-look positive locking handles will be on top lockers. Dimmable spotlights are introduced; there’s a new down-lighter over the washbasin. And wiring is installed for a motor mover.

The Sterling Elite range has been discontinued for 2015.

Challenger SE and Eccles SE

The new layout for the Challenger SE and Eccles SE range is an island bed caravan with the bed at the rear and shower and toilet rooms opposite one another forward of the bedroom. It’s a twin-axle model, in the Challenger range called 640 and in the Eccles SE range called Sapphire.

New features in the Challenger SE and Eccles SE ranges for 2015 include entrance doors with concealed hinges, new-style alloy wheels and an alarm indicator light on the awning light, to show when the alarm is activated.

Challenger SE models will have new woodgrain and high-gloss upper locker doors. All models will have additional lighting over the washbasins and new-style shower doors which run in a track. Dimmable spotlights are also introduced.

Décor in the SE ranges features bright red cushions and red shades in the curtain pattern. White locker doors and a white geometric pattern on tables and other surfaces enhances a dramatic, contrast look, with dark brown seating fabric.
The rear and offside shower room walls in the SE ranges have a shiny pattern than looks almost silvery on its plain white background.

Challenger Sport and Eccles Sport

New-style bi-fold tracked shower doors and entrance doors with concealed hinged are
also introduced in the Challenger and Eccles Sport ranges, together with new-style alloy
wheels in a “Scorpion” pattern.

Chrome sockets and switch surrounds appear, and these ranges will get Duvalay mattresses constructed with lightweight memory fibre technology.

The AL-KO ATC stability control system will no longer be on the Sport range; it will be an option. It will remain a standard feature on still be standard on the SE range.

The new layout in this range, the Eccles Sport 524, will have a large rear washroom and offside dining area.

Sprite

The Sprite range goes into 2015 with eight models, with the addition of the Sprite Major 4SB, replacing the Major 4, which has a central dining area that can be converted to a double bed. This new SB model brings the concept of the transverse island bed into the budget range for the first time. The Major 4SB new model will be launched later this year.

Sprite range enhancements for 2015 include entrance doors with concealed hinges, alloy wheels, new-style woodwork and touch-screen programmable timing control for the Truma heating and hot water system.

The five fixed-bed Sprites will have the same hypoallergenic Duvalay mattresses as are fitted in higher-priced ranges.

Sprites will continue to be fitted with the Tracker Retrieve security tracking system as standard.
