| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Swift Charisma 470 | 4 | 1250 kg | 6.35 m | £5,000 to £12,000 |
| Sprite Alpine 4 | 4 | 1284 kg | 6.45 m | £8,500 to £24,995 |
| Swift Challenger 480 | 4 | 1300 kg | 6.50 m | £10,000 to £25,000 |
The Swift Charisma 470 sits as a compact alternative to models like the Sprite Alpine 4 and Swift Challenger 480. While the Charisma 470 is shorter at 6.35 metres compared to the 6.45 or 6.5 metre lengths of its counterparts, it offers a lighter MTPLM of 1250kg. This makes it a more accessible option for drivers with lower towing limits, whereas the Challenger 480 and Freestyle S4 FB provide higher weight capacities for those with larger vehicles. The choice between them typically rests on the balance between towing weight and the desire for additional internal floor length.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 200kg payload efficiently by distributing weight over the axle.
- Regularly check the seals on the 6.35 metre body to maintain the integrity of the Swift construction.
- Make use of the front lounge double bed conversion for maximum sleeping comfort.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Exceeding the 1250kg MTPLM by over-loading the front lounge storage areas.
- • Assuming all 470 models have identical washroom configurations.
Worth knowing: The 200kg payload must be managed carefully when adding optional extras like motor movers. Ensure the 2.6 metre height is considered when planning routes with low bridges.
