The 2027 Swift Challenger 480 is a 2 berth touring caravan built for couples who want an easy van to live with. At 2.25m (7’5″) wide and 6.05m (19’10”) in external length, it’s one of the lighter caravans in the range, so it suits smaller cars and towbars as well as more experienced tourers who just want less to manage.
Layout and Living Space The 480 gives you a front double bed that also splits into two single beds, so you can set the van up however suits you and your travelling companion. Loose fit, bleachable carpets are fitted throughout, so you can lift them out and clean up after a day on site.
Kitchen Facilities The kitchen has a Thetford thermostatic oven with grill, a three burner gas hob and one electric hotplate, so you can cook a full meal whichever hook-up you’re on. A flatbed microwave and a fridge with a freezer compartment mean you can cook a full meal on site, rather than relying on the site restaurant every night.
Heating and Climate The Challenger 480 runs on Truma CombiNeo dual fuel heating, controlled from a 4 inch touchscreen panel. It gives you continuous hot water, so a shower after a walk won’t catch you out.
Practical Extras A 120W solar panel and an external 230V socket are fitted as standard, along with an external BBQ point. A passive infra red alarm with a tilt sensor is fitted for peace of mind when you’re away from the van.
Weight and Towing The Challenger 480 has an unladen weight of 1160kg and an MTPLM of 1281kg, giving you 121kg of payload to work with. It’s a single axle van, and one of the lighter options in the Challenger range. It’s worth checking those figures against 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.
