Swift Challenger SE Caravan Feature List

• Overview

• Luxury meets affordability in this popular mid-range that offers a perfect combination of style and specification at weights that fall within a wide range of towing cars. Challenger interiors enjoy all the benefits that quality, advanced design and attention to detail can bring. Gloss upper locker door in new 'Aralie Sen' woodgrain and new ‘Opus’ soft furnishings give a more opulent feel to complement an exceptionally high specification. This includes Alde radiator central heating with a touch screen control, solar panel and exclusive 'Duvalay Duvalite' mattress, for an ultra comfortable nights sleep.

Pleated blinds and low energy lighting throughout including low level night lights, kitchen splash back and under worktop lighting, lets you set the mood. A wide choice of seating layouts combine with well equipped kitchens and an external BBQ point allows for alfresco cooking. Washrooms have separate shower cubicles with new sliding bi-fold door, powerful Ecocamel shower head, a handy hanging rail, back lit mirror and the luxury of an Alde heated towel radiator.
