Swift Basecamp Plus

Swift Basecamp is equipped with many outstanding practical, functional and convenient features as standard but that isn't to say, Basecamp cannot be enhanced further. 'Basecamp Plus' is an optional 'factory fitted' upgrade package that takes useability to a whole new level.

In addition to the standard exterior graphics scheme, there are 12 modern and colourful graphics packages to choose from. Basecamp Plus includes the following additional features:

1000W Solar panel
TV aerial
TV bracket with travel lock
External 230v mains point

2020 Basecamp Plus price is £18,785 excluding delivery.

An optional Vango Airbeam Awning with clip out bedroom is available at a hefty £925.00 however, we highly recommend the Kampa Rally AIR Pro 200, which in our opinion is a better product at £600.00.
