Is the Swift Eccles a good choice for your touring needs?
The Swift Eccles is a versatile mid-to-high range caravan suitable for both couples and large families, offering between 2 and 6 berths. It is distinguished by its SMART timberless construction, contemporary Aldo soft furnishings, and a wide variety of layouts including fixed island beds and twin-axle family configurations. With a maximum MTPLM of 1650kg and a length of 7.54m, it balances premium features like Truma heating and Al-Ko safety systems with a robust build quality.
- Berth options ranging from 2 to 6 people
- SMART timberless construction system for moisture resistance
- Advanced safety features including Al-Ko ATC and AKS 3004 stabiliser
- Truma Combi heating system with digital control for year-round use
- Diverse layouts including fixed French, rear island, and transverse island beds
Worth knowing: MTPLM reaches 1650kg on larger models, necessitating a high-capacity tow vehicle. Payload is limited to 175kg, which may be restrictive for large families on long trips. Pricing is positioned above the entry-level Swift Sprite range.

What to check

When compared to the Bailey Unicorn, it matches the 1650kg MTPLM and 6-berth capacity, while the Bailey Phoenix offers a lighter, more budget-conscious alternative. The Eccles distinguishes itself through its specific SMART construction technology and the integration of remote app-based system controls, making it a technologically focused choice against its competitors.

Tips for Swift Eccles owners
- Utilise the external 230V socket and BBQ point to maximise living space during fair weather.
- Make use of the digital control panel to pre-heat the caravan via the Truma Combi system.
- Ensure the Eco-Camel shower head is cleaned regularly to maintain water pressure in the boutique-style washroom.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the 175kg payload, especially on 6-berth models where passenger gear adds up quickly.
- Neglecting to use the Al-Ko ATC system correctly during hitching.
Worth knowing: Always confirm the MTPLM of your specific model year before matching with a tow vehicle.
Alternatives to the Swift Eccles
