The 2018 Swift Elegance 480 is a 2 berth touring caravan that suits couples wanting an easy, compact van to tow. At 2.26m wide and 6.48m in external length, it’s manageable behind most family cars, striking a nice balance between comfortable living space and easy towing.
Layout and Living Space
This is an end washroom layout, so the bathroom sits at the back of the van, away from the kitchen and lounge, giving you privacy and a proper routine each morning. Blinds and fly screens are fitted throughout, along with loose fit carpets, and a door flyscreen keeps the bugs out on warm evenings.
Kitchen Facilities
You get a full oven, microwave, fridge, and freezer, so you can cook proper meals on site rather than relying on the site restaurant every night. An extractor fan keeps the kitchen fresh, and an external gas BBQ point means you can cook outside when the weather’s good.
Heating and Climate
This van has Alde heating, which works like the radiators in your house. It warms the van gently and evenly, and it’s widely regarded as the best heating you can get in a caravan. A Heki rooflight, a large rooflight, and a sun roof bring in plenty of light and ventilation.
Practical Extras
This van comes with a solar panel, a battery charger, external 240v, an alarm, a hitch head stabiliser, a spare wheel, alloy wheels, and a stereo system. The hitch head stabiliser makes towing steadier on faster roads, and the solar panel helps keep your battery topped up when you’re away from a hook-up.
Weight and Towing
The Swift Elegance 480 has an unladen weight of 1444kg and an MTPLM of 1570kg, giving you 126kg of payload to work with. That’s not a lot, so it’s worth checking those figures carefully against what you plan to carry, as well as your car’s towing limit and kerb weight, before you buy. If you’re unsure, the team at Raymond James Caravans can walk you through the numbers when you visit.
