I would recomend a swift jura 4 berth,i think the build quality for swift is far better than bailey evan though ive got a bailey.
The Swift Jura is a dealer special edition from Knowepark Caravans, it is and always has been a 2 berth. Agreed a good 'van ... we have the 2010 version, our at least we do currently, our new Sterling Cruach should have been built this week.
We did own a Bailey Beachcomber 440/4 from new in 1995 until 2004. Great 'van. The only issue we had was some water ingress round the toilet hatch in year nine. The weight quoted by another poster as 1132Kg fully laden seems high to me, our 440 weighed in at 990Kg fully laden, from memory the slightly larger 470/4 was around 1050Kg. A wonderful van, we added blinds and flyscreen, an oven, extra sockets, extra lights, folding TV table etc etc to ours.
Knew they came from knowetop Iain,but didnt know you cant get a four berth.
Well the Jura is a 2 berth, however other models eg the Tiree, the Iona, the Harris etc are all four berths! All part of the same range offered by Knowepark.
