    Rear Transverse Bed over Garage Motorhomes

    Last updated: 20 August 2026Reviewed by RoamWorthy Editorial Team

    Is the Swift Kon Tiki 679 Black Edition the right luxury motorhome for you?

    The Swift Kon Tiki 679 Black Edition is a high-capacity, tag-axle motorhome designed for extended touring. It features a 5000kg MTPLM, providing a substantial 965kg payload, and is characterised by its transverse fixed bed layout over a large garage. With berths for 4 to 6 people and a length of 8.56m, it offers a spacious residential feel supported by premium Alde hydronic heating and a 150W solar panel.

    • Tag-axle AL-KO AMC chassis with a 5000kg MTPLM and 965kg payload capacity.
    • Rear transverse fixed double bed situated above a large garage.
    • Front L-shaped lounge and high-specification kitchen with 190-litre fridge-freezer.
    • Alde dual-fuel radiator central heating and 150W solar panel.
    • Black Edition metallic cab styling with Aralie Sen woodgrain interior.

    Worth knowing: The 5000kg MTPLM requires the driver to hold a C1 category driving licence. At 8.56m in length, this vehicle may face access restrictions on narrow roads or smaller pitches.

    Buying a Swift Kon Tiki 679 Black Edition

    Who it suits

    • • Long-distance tourers who require a large 965kg payload for extended trips.
    • • Families or groups needing up to 6 berths and a spacious L-shaped lounge.
    • • Owners with a C1 licence seeking the road stability of a tag-axle AL-KO chassis.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • The large rear garage provides exceptional storage for outdoor equipment and gear.
    • • The Black Edition specification includes premium aesthetics and a high-spec Dometic kitchen.
    • • Alde central heating ensures the vehicle is suitable for year-round use in various climates.

    What to check

    • • Verify the specific berth count for the individual unit, as these range from 4 to 6.
    • • Confirm the operation of the Alde heating system and the condition of the 150W solar panel.
    • • Inspect the garage dimensions to ensure compatibility with intended cargo like e-bikes.

    Worth knowing: Fuel consumption is typically higher on tag-axle configurations compared to single-axle alternatives. The 2.35m width and 8.56m length require careful route planning in rural areas.

    Compare the Swift Kon Tiki 679 Black Edition with similar models

    ModelBerthsMaximum weightLengthTypical price
    Swift Kon Tiki 679 Black Edition65000 kg8.56 m£65,000 to £115,000
    Auto-Trail Comanche HB65000 kg8.77 m£65,000 to £125,000
    Swift Kon-Tiki 874 180BHP Auto65000 kg8.22 m£85,000 to £135,000

    The Swift Kon Tiki 679 Black Edition sits in a price bracket of 65000 to 115000 and is defined by its 8.56m length and tag-axle stability. When compared to the Auto-Trail Comanche HB, it offers a slightly shorter footprint while maintaining the same 5000kg MTPLM. For those seeking a lighter alternative, the Bailey Autograph 79-6 offers 6 berths at 4250kg, though it lacks the heavy-duty payload capacity of the Kon Tiki. The choice between these models often depends on the specific requirement for garage space versus total vehicle length.

    Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

    Ownership and Maintenance Tips

    • Utilise the 965kg payload carefully to maintain the stability benefits of the AL-KO chassis.
    • Regularly check the seals around the panoramic Skyview sunroof.
    • Monitor the 150W solar panel output to ensure off-grid battery health.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • • Underestimating the turning circle required for an 8.56m tag-axle vehicle.
    • • Exceeding the 5000kg MTPLM by failing to account for the weight of heavy garage items.

    Worth knowing: Always confirm the exact specification of used models, as equipment can vary by year.
