Why the Swift Elegance Grande 835 caravan?

All of the category winners were scrutinised for this title. The Caravan of the Year award has to go to a caravan that is superbly outstanding, not just in its own market sector, but overall; a caravan that can carry the torch for touring caravan excellence. Swift’s Elegance 835 fits that mould perfectly. It had easily won the title in its category, Best Luxury Caravan – and zoomed to the top of the ladder when it came to the judges’ final assessment of all of the category winners to choose a tourer that merits our top award.

 

Award judge Val Chapman says,

“The leather-effect upholstery feels soft and is supremely comfortable. The bedroom is surely the most luxurious in any caravan, with floor-to-ceiling voiles and curtains and a luxuriously velvet upholstered bedhead. Underfloor heating, an electrically operated rooflight in the bedroom – and even a sophisticated-design drinks cabinet… This caravan is stacked with – yes, elegance – and with cleverly designed elements including the wardrobe that opens into both the bedroom and the shower room.”

 

 

Award judge Louise Cottrill says,

“Two things I really value in today’s modern caravans are technology and sustainability. With a timberless frame and GRP outer skins, the Swift Elegance 835 ticks some great boxes for me with its heating and thermal insulation. That aside, the little luxuries such as underfloor heating, the easy-to-navigate control system and the nifty Bluetooth app that lets you manage key functions of the caravan from your phone seal the deal. I’m also a big fan of luxury and from stepping inside this caravan it was apparent it’s one that didn’t disappoint with that delightfully spacious bedroom and the all-important washroom that’s more like an en suite. Being able to close the door to the washroom and bedroom off makes the Elegance 835 an ideal caravan for grown-up adventures.”
