COOL CARAVAN - Swift Basecamp 4 First Look

Without having the time to justify a full review of the all-new Swift Basecamp 4, I instead take a brief look around this exciting and cool caravan. The reason I am so excited about it is because the layout is very similar to a unique sporty caravan I had almost 20 years ago - the ABI Adventurer.

In this caravan you can fold up the seats to allow bikes or sporting equipment to travel.

An impressive spec (with the optional 'Plus Pack') includes full cooker with oven and grill, three-way fridge (Gas, mains, 12v while towing), a solar panel for off-grid use, outdoor shower (cold - brrr!) mains socket and barbecue point, a warm water shower indoors... and MUCH more.

Heating comes from the super Whale HeatAir, and you can see my full review of this awesome heating system here:

For more information about this lovely little caravan including bed sizes and tech specs, please see:

Finally, a MASSIVE thank you to the lovely Jules and Karina at the Channel Here We Tow. They kindly stood back from making a review of this caravan to allow me to do so, as I was so ridiculously excited about it. Please check out their channel for more NEC news and caravan reviews:

Thank you, dear islander, for giving the metric size of the front bed to us Europeans. I always enjoy your videos. Greetings from Bavaria, Germany.

[LisaMarli]

That is a fun small weekend caravan. Nice for a holiday trip, even for a small family.

Thanks to the clowns at Midlands Motor Movers for the entertainment... It only took two days and many attempts to film this! ;@)

Couldn't agree more about the Basecamp 3 FB, would be the ideal caravan for many couples.

This is a Winner, - the lack of storage. And we agree with you, the BaseCamp 3 will have the Great Vid!

[WillHawkinsDigitalBusiness]

I agree. I want one!! Very nice. Having spent lots of time in the Basecamp, the '4' is good for families and for couples. I like the helpers from the Midlands Motor Movers too. 'Night boat to Cairo' came to mind!! See you soon.

Looking forward to seeing both you and Dougal on your next adventures.👍👍

Hi Andrew, You’re right when you say a three bed would be better. I am however very wary of tubular seating/beds they never seem to hold up for long. It look quite good overall though. All the best. Rab

We loved this caravan too. We have a camper van and use a waterproof stuff sack for the duvet etc. Easy to use and can stow in the wardrobe or wherever you want.

Looks well worth it for the money, ideal to get away in

[martinkitchin]

Really informative video.
I too would prefer at least some under seat bedding storage on one side of the van.
I think the duvet would get pretty grubby if it was stuffed in at floor level....

That looks an interesting layout and fun caravan. Thanks Andrew 😊

[larshelmin]

Not only an entertaining and informative video, it was also educational. I expanded my English vocabulary with the word awning too! :)

The bathroom in that van you took to Switzerland was outstanding, this one is just okay, the stove is great

[simoningram]

Often preferring something a bit larger, this looks fun. And the rear entry is ideal. And I agree Basecamp 3 would be perfect.

[lindahiggins]

Midlands motor mover men were great entertainment, the base camp looks great. 👍👍👍

[jaynehook]

Love your videos and reviews, so informative for us newbies

[clairesims]

I loved the basecamp 2 just right for me, thanks Andrew 😊

[joannaaitchison]

Love this van ... but agree base camp 3 would be the one we would really want

[LifeOutandAbout]

I too had an ABI Adventurer. It was fantastic (especially liked the “extra” external door into the washroom). This Basecamp 4 looks Fantastic. I agree a Basecamp 3 is needed.
