what experience / views do people have on comparing these two caravans , construction/ build quality/ fittings / functionality I can see desirable and drawbacks in each
currently have a swift elegance 480 but really want a fixed bed and more room for longer trips
coachman has longer bed and fraction wider also a nice fridge and more contemporary look inside but
loo not as good as the Swift Thetford from what I can see heavier overall too I think we tow ( experiences ) with a BMW X3 2019 model so ideally don’t want to be over 1800kg
The swift elegance with all no wood construction sounds perhaps better that the coachman build method but who knows?? seems to have more wardrobe space and better electrical gear inside or perhaps rather familiar elect kit eg with Swift command .
swift internal fit out seems a little more fragile , we have had quite a few little screws drop out and hinges going wonky but nothing major
just wondering what people who have these models think as there is not much around commenting on
2019 models
thanks for taking the time to comment should you do so
