Well todays the day we say goodby to our Crusader, and hello to a Challenger.
Over the last bank holiday we went to West Midlands caravans just to "have a look" you understand.
We came away having bought a Swift Challenger 540, my wallet is still sulking and won't have anything to do with me .

We've booked a site not far from the pickup point so that we can have a dry run, (read play). Then we'll be ready for this season, we're off for two weeks in Aug to Yorkshire for the first week, then a week near Hadrian's wall.

Cheers.
BJ.

You're doing what we did around 25 years ago. We had a Conway Cruiser and swapped it for a Swift Corvette Diamond. We have never looked back. We loved the Conway but it was still the best decision we ever made. Enjoy your new caravan.

Exciting times - enjoy! We did the same a lot of years ago now. The best thing is, your camping season is now all year long if you want it to be.

Seven years ago we changed our Crusader to our Bailey with fixed bed. Never looked back, so much better and in so many ways.
