Suzy Swift

Bigger and Better?

After four wonderful years spent with Daisy Duetto we sold her on in 2012. Her new owners seemed over the moon and I think they still have her to this day.

But 2012 saw us moving up the ladder and, in the land of motorhomes, this meant purchasing a coach built motorhome made by Swift. Suzy was much larger than Daisy but in some ways easier to drive - gone was the 2ft long gear stick, replaced with one on the dashboard. The seat was also much more adjustable and as I'm not even 5ft tall this was a massive bonus, I did, however, still struggle to reach the handbrake.

Suzy Swift:

Length - 6.1m (approx 20ft)

Width - 2.21m (approx 7.25ft)

Height - 3.07m (approx 10.07ft)

Unladen Weight - 2821 kgs





With her spacious shower room, overhead bed and large full size rear lounge camping had suddenly taken on a much more luxurious feel. 

Even Lottie, our little Border Terrier cross Jack Russel seemed well at home....

But the luxury came at a cost, not just the HP agreement we signed, but also the difficulty of leaving a campsite once we had pitched up.

It was also a very large vehicle to drive and the small country lanes were harder to negotiate, especially when you own a sat nav that seems to insist upon taking you down the smallest roads known to man.


We went away in Suzy but our trips involved us staying on campsites and not exploring unless we could get somewhere by foot. We missed the freedom of Daisy and after four years we decided to trade Suzy in to try something completely different.................

A CARAVAN!!
