I've just registered here after reading some of the posts about swift basecamp.
I haven't yet viewed one in person but have watched a few youtubes, as one does. I'm considering purchasing one, not soon, but a little further down the line.
It wouldn't be for the odd weekend away, well, it probably would be to start with.
I hope to travel Europe.
Obviously, I'll have to get use to towing and no doubt a few other things.
I noticed quite a number of members on here have positive thoughts on Swift BC, and it appeals to the more mature generation also, like myself 🤔.
Anyway, I'll keep reading through the posts. I did read something about grips, it seemed rather important, I'll have another browse ☺
Join Swift talk forum and ask any questions you need answering as plenty of owners on there. When joining as you do not yet own one just fill in the reason for joining as looking to purchase.
There is a Swift Basecamp Owners Group on Facebook. Well, there are two actually... but one is much bigger than the other. You don’t need to have a Basecamp to join and you will find the answers to all your questions on there.
Hubby and I are 62, never had a caravan before. We bought a Basecamp in 2017 and we love it! We’ve just got back from the Isle of Wight and the New Forest and we’re off to Ludlow tomorrow.
I was looking at one yesterday while waiting for the van to be serviced. Only problem I can see is with the awning on the back it ends up being a very long unit.. too long for your regular caravan pitches.. Something to bear in mind

We have 3 different awnings for our Basecamp; the made to measure Vango, a Wigo canopy and a Kampa Rally Air Pro 200 with a bedroom annexe so we have all angles covered and can easily fit on a standard pitch with the Kampa or Wigo, although I don’t think many members of the 1000 strong Facebook group have had much trouble getting a pitch to accommodate the Vango, usually the site wardens are just fascinated with the Basecamp usually not having seen one before! We get a lot of sightseers wanting a tour!!
