What is the Swift Basecamp 2?
The Swift Basecamp 2 is a compact, two-berth crossover caravan designed for active outdoor enthusiasts. It features a rugged exterior, a wide rear-entry door for gear loading, and a 1042kg MTPLM, making it highly manoeuvrable and easy to tow.

- Two-berth front lounge that converts into a double bed.
- Lightweight 1042kg MTPLM suitable for a variety of tow cars.

Buying a Swift Basecamp 2
Who it suits

Reasons to consider it
- The aerodynamic profile and 5.1m length make it exceptionally easy to tow and park.

- The external shower point is ideal for cleaning equipment or muddy boots.
What to check
- Verify the operation of the Swift Command mobile app integration.

While the Bailey Discovery D4 2 is lighter at 995kg and longer at 5.84m, the Basecamp 2 focuses on a rugged, compact aesthetic. Compared to the Adria Action 361LT, which shares the 2.28m width, the Basecamp 2 offers a lower MTPLM of 1042kg against the Adria's 1100kg.

Swift Basecamp 2 Ownership Tips
- Utilise the Swift Command app to monitor systems remotely during active trips.
- Take advantage of the 100W solar panel to maintain battery levels when away from hookups.
- Fold the banquet seating fully when transporting bikes to maximise the internal floor space.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 126kg payload by over-packing the rear with heavy equipment.
- Neglecting to use the external shower point for muddy items, which keeps the compact interior cleaner.
Worth knowing: Ensure all gear is secured to floor anchors to prevent movement during transit. The 2.6m height should be noted for clearance in restricted areas.
