This week I drive north to join Steve who is already away in our motorhome. We are here to attend the Swift Open Weekend delivering a series of talks at their Head Office.
We enjoy a factory tour and a sneaky look at the brand new production line that’s currently being built.
And finally we take a look around the 2024 motorhome models and consider different layouts for for our future travels. Would the brand new, adventure ready, Trekker suit our needs?

    I love your channel and I’ve always had a swift motorhome for 12 years but I’ve just got a 6. 2 van two single beds aft and toilet kitchen mid and 4 seats as it’s just the two of us it’s plenty and we have one day camping and one day hotel: I fell less stress driving and parking and half the price ❤

    Great vlog. I'm having Monday film nights here in France with girlfriends. Meal delivered by a local restaurant, and watching The New Look on Apple TV. Excellent, the wartime story of Dior and Chanel excellent. Jo in France 🇫🇷
  • Aww i feel for Lyndsey when she said her older sons will not be coming on the travels as much anymore, it hit me hard when my only son got to that age i felt lost etc, also loosing a parent , now both it is hard. But in time they do come around again when they start to have there own familys and you get Granchildren. I swear in my lifetime my best holiday has a child was touring down the East coast the summer of 76 in a VW camper van with a brother and sister, honestly best holiday of my life, abroad holidays did not have a patch on it. They come back around (kids) when they get there babies.

    Swift 60th Anniversary OH MY I wonder if there are any Swift from back in the day around still being used!! As I’ve said in previous comments this motorhome living must be so popular to have the Swift factory place - it’s huge and that they look after their employees Also innovation and how to get a lot for your money as to live in a small space you have to get on as a couple, especially with your 3 boys who will come down to George and time goes so quickly It’s like couples living on these Dutch barges and similar He can then in time drive you around ❤️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😃😃😃😃👍 👍

    When I vlog on my own in public intend to use my mobile phone. I also do short clips rather than a long ramble. That way people just think I am on the phone. I went to the Elddis Caravan factory a long time ago. It’s amazing how modern production lines have become so much more efficient. It’s good that Swift care for their workers with the nice facilities. Sue and I are out on our own next time too. It makes such a change to be just the two of us and we will be celebrating 40 years of vanning together. 😃👍🏻 Safe travels 🚐💙 Trev

    I went yesterday and I loved it! their production line is so interesting and it is amazing how much money they spend investing in the business and Martin was especially helpful. Did you have to pay for coffies there, I didn't? I almost ran out of power in my EV as I wasn't allowed to recharge there so I rolled into the doncaster north service station with 2miles on the clock 😬
  • @Pugwash.
    If Swift could built-to-order I think they'd nail it. I like their quality but I've yet to see a perfect layout. I'm now watching 3 Body Problem as I really enjoyed the books.
  • @seanohalloran
    Question. Would it be an option to ask Swift to convert your van to remove the bench seats to put in a double bed ? Just thinking of all the upgrades you have on this van making it yours.
