Hi All, so pleased to find this thread! We got our Basecamp Plus in June. Have used it quite a bit since then (Including taking it to Silverstone, I note someone else was there with theirs!).
We have similar niggles to some of the above posts, but nothing major and are generally thrilled. We have found that the juddering when towing goes once we hit about 40 mph!
When we go away there is me, my husband, 19 month old son and our dog. Husband and dog stay in the airbeam awning (Which we find ok to put up). I have seen updated brochures showing the clip in bedroom. I have called my dealer (Lowdhams) and Swift and neither had a clue! Does anyone know where I could purchase one from? Swift seemed to think I would need a whole new awning (No chance after just buying this one!) but I am 99% sure the 2018 model is exactly the same just with the clip in bedroom.
Happy basecamping!
Hi Chalky, same as you towing - 40mph and everything is sweet! Billy Basecamp has been very busy recently, two weekends at dog shows in Kent (apart from my Jeremy Clarkson impression going over Mrs Queen's bridge) and Essex then back to Norfolk for a week's dog training, so much practice in hitching, towing, etc etc. Slept like a log every night despite some very heavy rain - have invested in a single mattress topper from Poundstretcher (£14.99) and a sort of squidgy soft duvet type thingy from Amazon on top of that - makes a lovely bed diagonally!
Have been using my Khyam screenhouse as a sort of add on, it's 3m square so has plenty of room for a chair and table, dog cage etc. Only downside is that it obviously doesn't attach to the caravan and when I'm judging I have to rope in a few friends to walk it over to the ring 
My Basecamp awning will be for sale shortly as I really can't see myself ever using it

The next ex-caravan noob!
