We have recently changed our caravan form a Lunar Clubman 530/4 single axle to a Swift Charisma 590 6 berth twin axle. I LOVE the new van. It ticks all of my boxes!!! I was a bit worried about changing to a twin axle but it is fab. We have just got back from a CL site with no hook up & dare I say we had no problems at all. Easy to level thanks to posts/advice I got from here. Superb to tow. Everything worked.

We have just had a 4 wheel drive motor mover fitted which means I can completely set up on my own while hubby is still at work.

I am soooooo pleased with it I just wanted to share it!!!

I'm feeling very envious , we have had our 1994 Lunar Clubman 550/5 for 4 years and much as I love it look forward to the day we can afford to upgrade.

I loved my Lunar but we did have a few problems with it. So getting this (new to us) caravan is fantastic. The Lunar was our first caravan & the layout was ok but after using it more & more we found it wasn't the ideal layout for us. I was quite particular in what I wanted from a new caravan and did lots of research & found that the Swift Charisma 590 would be perfect for us. Then came the hard part..........finding one at the right price!! But I persevered & ended up driving 200 miles to find it. But I am sooooo glad I did. Can't wait to go away in her again.

"I was quite particular in what I wanted from a new caravan and did lots of research & found that the Swift Charisma 590 would be perfect for us"

For anyone looking for ther first van,...that's the way to do it. Research first for the layout to suit your lifestyle requirements.

Hope you have many happy hours with it....What are you pulling it with?
