I'm interested in buying a 2d hand Swift Challenger 470SE of model yr.1998 to 2003. ( based on the prices on the market) Have seen one of '98 and '99 around 5 to 6 k  Euro. There are not many Swifts Challengers on the market much in Holland.

Are there some big steps foreward in design or technical so you advise me I should look specific after some model year or younger?

What are the differences in interior layout between a 470 SE and a 480 SE of '98? Both have a bathroom at the rear.

Is one L-shaped seating and one parallel?    Only the 480 is a current model.

No Jennifer,

 So far I can see on the photo's both have 2 berth parallel, central mid kitchen (looks the same too) but some differences in layout at the rear end bathroom (not clear on the photo's )

Jenniffer

Go to www.martplaats.nl click "caravans and kamperen" on the left list; then select and klick "Caravans /overige" (means other brands out of the list of caravan brands) .

Then type Swift  (or Swift 470 or  swift 480) in the white field below word Alles (mid top page) and click on zoek (= search) at the far right same level

Then you should find both types on sale in Holland

Just a worried thought, have you looked at the thread e-bay scams. Is the same van being offered for sale in Holland?
