We have just ordered a swift conqueror 480 a two Beth .
We have had enough of the Bailey it has been a nightmare . I have loved the beds and comfort but we couldn't stand it any longer . Just four years old and every year big problems .

It is stressful changing again and although I was looking for a coachman pastiche this van came up and seemed to fit our needs.
I know I will miss the beds but towing and hopefully no more big other problems.
I am so worried and just hope it will be right for us . Does anyone have this van .
Sadly though our porch awning is going to cross the window . I can't believe it we bought a Isabella magnum and thought this would last and fit any van now . We seem to always change awnings with vans so I am going to just cross the window . .... It .
Some one tell me we have done the right thing and swift conqueror s are good vans .

We love our Swift Conqueror 565 and it has just had its twelve month service and came through with flying colours. We have had a couple of little problems but these were sorted quickly.
It is our second Swift Conqueror and the first had no big problems either.
I'm sure you will be fine. Good choice.

We swapped from a Bailey bed version to a Conqueror 480. Lovely van but what a pain in the neck making the beds up every night.We really missed the made up beds. I would think twice!
However, no longer own a van as can't drive due to eye sight problems.

I'm not going to miss our Bailey but I know I will miss the beds the design and lay out . It was meant to be our last van .
However I have been thinking we used to make up the beds . And if I didn't want to I used to leave them made up . Make them look nice and cover with a throw . Plus put the back on so that it is comfortable . It was fine .
It's too late we have ordered it now . As long as it is a quality van not a load of cheap stuff put together badly .
It's such a shame what baileys do with their vans . I will never buy another one . And I told them
