These are my shortlisted two so in the nicest possible way I don't need to hear about those who wouldn't touch either . I've already ruled out tempest too heavy and long, Amara and Bailey.
Elddis Avante, Im awaiting delivery of the new 2014 stock to come into the dealers so I can buy its baby sister, the 462/2. They have been a very popular model for this season, and you may struggle to find any 2013 models left in dealers yards. A few 'Specials' left, but not too keen on the dealership who has them in stock locally, after several bad reviews on here, and a rock bottom price offered for our caravan as trade in, even though they had not even seen it.

For me swift every time, we are changing our current swift to a new swift challenger sport at the end of the year. We are on our 3rd and love them.

The road can be tough and rough,but what you put in you get back 10 x more.
The Elddis has the new "Solid" construction, I don't think we have had any members reporting back on this type of construction yet.
looking forward to new owners experiences with this glued together construction.
We bought a Elddis Avante 462 new in 2011, so this is our 3 rd season my wife [very important] & I love it no complaints what so ever. I am also waiting to see how the new Elddis shapes up for when we decide to up grade, its really down to the individual, so much choice.
Both vans are pretty heavy and have similar MPTLM's , I guessing you have a substantial towcar.
The Elddis would get my vote with the new solid construction
We had the same dilemma between Elddis Super Cyclone and Lunar Delta RS last October, One van was inside showroom the other opposite outside. Both vans suited our needs, after couple of hours later we decided on the Elddis. The Elddis had the edge on the Lunar and now own a new 2013 Elddis.

There is a massive recall on very recent swift vans happening at this moment...big leak problems! Not something a dealer would like you to know!
Not on the Challenger Sport though, my Eccles Sport (same van different decor) passed its first damp test with flying colours as it should. The issues was with 2011 model Challenger and Conqueror/Eccles and Elite models.

was in the local dealers at the weekend who sell both swift and Elddis together with a load of other makes.
Tne comment from the service department was last year the a lot of problems with swift vans but this year it is Elddis. I have a swift so did not go in to reason why.
but could nt comment with regards to the particular vans you mentioned
Check out SwiftTalk for details
So far our Swift has leaked,(Window) fridge broke,(heating element) blinds fell in bits Oh and overhead locker door fell off but apart from that...
Some if the 2011 had problems with the panoramic window at the front
We have the sterling Eccles 636 (2012) and it is fantastic van which has passed it first service with flying colours I think at the end of the day the choice is down to decor
