The 2027 Swift Challenger 500 is a 4 berth touring caravan that gives you two separate double bed areas in one van. At 2.25m (7’5″) wide and 6.53m (21’5″) in external length, it’s an easy tow for most cars, striking a good balance between interior space and how it handles on the road.
Layout and Living Space The 500 gives you a front double bed and a fixed rear double bed, both ready to sleep in with nothing to convert each night. 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 142 litre fridge with a 15 litre freezer compartment mean you can cook a full meal on site, rather than relying on the site restaurant every night. A foldaway worktop extension gives you extra space when you need it.
Heating and Climate The Challenger 500 runs on Truma CombiNeo dual fuel heating, controlled from a 4 inch touchscreen panel. It gives you continuous hot water, so long showers and a busy morning 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 500 has an unladen weight of 1204kg and an MTPLM of 1350kg, giving you 146kg of payload to work with. It’s a single axle van. It’s worth checking those figures against your car’s towing limit and kerb weight before you order. If you’re unsure, the team at Raymond James Caravans can walk you through the numbers over the phone.
