Hi Floyd, can you put some directions on here? We would have looked there too had we known about them, one of our favourite hobbies is looking at caravans.

Just bought a new Swift Charisma 560 from Barrons in Cumbria, no problems so far but I am anxious to see what there after sales service will be like if we do have any problems.

As far as the vans being dirty on the forecourt they fully valet and check everything as part of there on the road package. You also get a full hour to go through the van with them and any problems can be fixed before you leave, they also offer a free two night stay for anyone travelling a distance so they can test the van before setting off home and are close by to solve any problems. As far as getting a wet or damp van I would just refuse to take it if it is not in prestige condition.

Thanks Floyd, will remember that for the future.

Jo, when did they start offering the free 2 night stay? We bought our van in 2003 and weren't offered it then. We stayed on a lovely site not far from a pub and a railway station, can't remember the name but now closed, we would use it as a stop over if still open. 2 pubs within staggering distance, one by the canal and one at the station.

Dont know when they started offering the free 2 night stay we just bought our van last week!!

We travelled from Surrey to Barrons in Coppul to buy our new van, a Swift Charisma about a year ago. We purchased the van after getting a good deal and a few extras and found them to be very good.

Not sure about their after sales service as we haven't had a problem.

That must have come in since 2003 then. Where did you stay?

We didn't take advantage of it,  we did the journey in one day, took about 4 hours to drive up and longer to drive home.

Wish we had because it was a long day and we were shattered.
