hi we downgraded to a swifft 470 last yr a 2 berth from a 4 . Its a 2006 thing is been away 3 times and the bathroom and end of van is so small its a nightmre cant get used to it at all :( although its a lovely van. We looked at caravan dealers today and seen a bailey senator vermont but we have to pay 2400 to change so will loose quite a bit . Thing is do we or dont we my thery is the longer we leave it the more we might loose and the van is a 2007 so its a a year younger just feel like we dropped a massive you know what buying the swift . The bailey has a big washroom and plenty of storage just feels more spacious .we now have a dog also so it feels better with more room . has anyone got a bailey senator and can give us any advice going for another look on tuesdat . The reason the swift feels small is the kitchen is a L shape comung across the van and the wardrobe is in the living area .Looked ok till we tried to live in it lol advice and any suggestions guys

Try selling it private first use preloved for free if no luck then eBay your get far more for it then the dealers will pay you, they really are a rip off sometimes. Good luck.

It took a month from beginning to end but we sold our caravan on Preloved and had quite a few enquiries. I think it took so long was because I didn't have any photos at first. Didn't get what we wanted but we wanted it sold quickly and got over 3k more than a dealer offered.
Good luck.
