EXCLUSIVE! You asked for a smaller model, Swift has now added it to the Ford Voyager range
Peter Vaughan brings you an exclusive preview of the compact model that buyers have been asking for. It has all the spec of the larger Swift Voyager motorhomes (and the same high-spec Transit cab), but in a much more compact package, at only 6.19m long. It still has a spacious lounge, four berths and four travel seats and a huge washroom across the rear.

    Very nice nice van. I off grid camp all the time. The. For that price I would expect a good kitchen layout. 2 gas rings for 4 people is very limited. it would be a deal breaker for me. There are campervans. Half that money with better kitchen set up. Great video though.

      Whilst this is an issue with some commercial vehicles, it doesn't yet seem to be affecting motorhomes. If you change the oil annually with good quality oil and change the belt way ahead of schedule (120k, I think), it appears you should be OK (some cars require new belt every three/four years irrespective of mileage)
