Elddis Crusader tempest 2012
Is their any one out there,that has bought one of these,we have looked at loads of vans this last couple of weeks,we have narrowed it down to the swift 636 and this elddis,we like the configuration of the both,my partner especially likes the sunroof idea in the swift,the alde heating is not an issue for us we aren't bothered either way,we like the light an airyness of the elddis,are there any really good deals out there at the momment,we have got it down to £21,500 inc starter pack,should I snap it up if i went for the ELDDIS

Just had to google it, as I'm not really up on new vans mine are just somewhere to sleep, but they both look nice, I like the styling of the swift, but the elddis looks really nice.

I don't know how true this is, so don't hold me to my word, but when I was at the dealers last week, I was speaking to the dealer and said I liked the swifts with the panoramic roof, he said don't buy one, I said why, he said they leak!! Now as I said don't take my word for it, it's just what I was told.
I think the elddis looks roomier.

Have a look on Swift Talk some early ones of the new shape have damp problems by the wheel and the design was changed for this year so just check when it was built.The 2012 swift,s do seem pretty much sorted now

Hi Parkie,
I've got the 2011 Crusader Tempest,absolutely love it,fantastic layout with no ntable problems. I know someone who works for the firm that transports all the swift vans from the factory and he's said they've been really busy due to returning a lot to the factory due to the sunroofs leaking. In their defence this was last summer and the problems may now be sorted but personally wouldn't take the chance. There's no build quality issues with the Elddis that i'm aware of at all.

No,mine was the last before the Alde was fitted. I've yet to see anyone with it although online reviews look good. I use mine predominantly off hook up so didn't want the Alde pump using up my 12 volts.
