Swift

Pictured: Swift Monza

In 1964, Ken Smith built his first touring caravan, along with his partner Ken Day, called The Ten in Hull, which they retailed at £289. Swift was born, and two more models followed by the end of the year - the Clubman and the Valken. The following year, Smith bought out his partner and went it alone with wife Joan. Swift started building motorhomes in 1985.

Today, Ken's son Peter Smith remains Chairman of the Swift Group, and their factory is still based at Dunswell Road in Hull, where they have been since 1970.

"A classic four-berth/double lounge van conversion from Swift which has been given a new look for 2023; it's all done very tastefully"

Judge's comment

"Loads of storage and space. Extra pannier locker a bonus. Fixed double island bed is very inviting. Brilliant motorhome"

Assessors comment

"A two-berth motorhome with four seats. Really decent tourer for two."

Assessors comment

"Decent bunks allow six to genuinely sleep. Very driveable length at 7.32m"

Assessors comment

"Ideal for a family with two areas with tables offering space. Like the use of shelving in the washroom giving much needed storage when on site. Smart upholstery in grey. Very bright and airy"
