Great review. He just forgot to mention 3 items that I could see. The cupboard under the oven. The cupboard between the oven and fridge and the drawer above the fridge. That’s some useful extra storage.
This is a bargain it really is. The quality is up there. For two people or one this is more than enough and if youre willing to sacrifice the one bed on either side completely you have a livable space that is great for longer breaks. And the awning is a brilliant addition for the extra fee, add a gazebo style covering to the side and you've got all the space you could new inside and out.

Great caravan and well promoted. My concern with storing a bike in it whilst in transit would be the costly and inconvenient issue if the handlebar broke the side window!
Thank you for your positive feedback. Storage of a bicycle will depend on the size of your bike. We demonstrated here how to store the bicycle forward you can also store it in reverse. During transit, we recommend if the handlebar has to be positioned against the window to use something to support it. I hope this helps!
Use your noggin! Pad the bar (I'd be putting a blanket or cover around bike as a matter of course anyway), put bike in backwards, adjust handle bars for transit (not a difficult or unreasonable task)... you know, common sense...
Thank you for your comment. We would recommend putting any bedding or clothes in a small transparent storage box with a lid just underneath either of the two front seat benches or in the wardrobe opposite the kitchen shown here 3:54.
Hi Neil, thank you for your excellent comment. We would store any bedding in the tall wardrobe opposite the kitchen (visible here: 3:54) or underneath the seating area at the front.

Why don't they bring these to the United States? The fit, finish and utility thought behind this far outpaces American design and construction. The big boys in Indiana need to wake up and look at this.

Hi Steve, thank you for your question. It will depend on the year and engine type of the vehicle. The MTPLM of the Standard Swift Basecamp 2 is 1043kg (Fully laden weight). As long as the car's towing weight is over this, it'll be safe to tow! If you could let us know the Year, Engine size & fuel. Then, we'll certainly be able to get you an accurate answer. Or call 01457868011 and we'll be happy to assist.
Hi Andrew, Air Awnings are relatively easy to inflate. There are dual actions pumps available which can aid in inflating. I hope this helps, if you have any other enquiries please feel free to reply.
Hi, the user payload for the Basecamp 2 2021 is 111kg. However, there is an MTPLM upgrade which would increase this to 368kg. You can view our 2022 model here which has the same weight limits: www.glossopcaravans.co.uk/new-caravan-swift-basecamp-2-2022-cg523fdfe/

Great review!! Rare demo of the RVA1 awning thank you! ps Does anyone know how to get ANY info on the RVA2 Awning. Doesn't seem to be any info on it on the whole of the internet

If you wish to come and view one, we do have this model on display at this time, and one of our colleagues would be more than happy to explain this in greater detail.
@@glossopcaravans You have one on display!! That's amazing 👍👍 There's not even a single picture of the RVA2 on the entire Internet! Sadly, I'm so far away from you but many thanks for your reply ♥️

The owners manual should state the towing weight of your car. Then check on the Swift website. Mind you there's a difference between it being able to tow it and it towing it comfortably 👍
Cant be towed by any vehicle really, we had 2014 Honda Civic 1.8 petrol, 140hp we had to upgrade to a1.6 Diesel CRV ,the Civic would tow on the flat but on motorway inclines you were down to 3rd gear just could keep momentum going, hill starts were also a no go unless you like the smell of clutch and burning rubber from the spinning tyres you really need a diesel or a turbo petrol engine with lots of torque above 300 pound foot a car above 1.5 litres and it need to be relatively heavy as the basecamp it quite tall and suffers from wind buffeting badly when trucks passed you by, it was quite hairy even below 60mph, so no it cant be towed by any car. Nice caravan though with nice touches but heavier than you think.

Hello Leigh, thank you for your great question. You can in fact tow this caravn with certain models of the Fiat 500 range. It weighs just 932kg unladen. It is an incredible example of fantastic engineering in the Caravan industry and we love it!
Okay this is a WEEKEND camper instead of a TENT so everyone WONDERING WHERE do i put my clothes.bedding/ Well jeez if I HAVE TO ANSWER THAT MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET AN HOTEL . This would suit my weekend lifestyle Perfectly throw in my ebike THROW IN MY BEDDING [sleeping bag] A few cans of beans and GONE.
Went to have a look at the BaseCamp and was very disappointed, too heavy, too long and poor load weight allowance. Will stick with my ABI 4 berth adventurea even though it’s 20 years old it still serves me well.
Hi John, Sorry to here you're dissapointed in it, we can agree the Aventura is a reliable Caravan model and happy it still serves you well! However, did you know that there is a payload upgrade you can get for this Caravan increasing the weight limit from 111kg to 368kg! Hope this information helps you and thank you for your question.
@@glossopcaravans thanks for the info but when I bring the van home to load it needs to be off the road alongside the house. Sadly the length is critical. Also as we move to EV, GMW is critical and those extra KGs will effect range. No doubt we will see a resurgence of true lightweights that were around in the early 1970’s. I wonder if the old ‘Victor Mini’ might be in for an upgrade.
We’ve got a 2023 model . Nice and light , easy to tow, ergonomically well designed, but technically too complex and tendency to fault , and sad to say many components are straight out flimsy … it seems every time we take it out something breaks. The very first night one of the back reflectors dropped off into the grass!
@@hughandjanemuller14 that’s the problem, bells and whistles, in order to keep the weight down and profit margins up make them cheap. Considering the cost of new vans time to make a ‘basic van’
This is so much better than Swift's own promotional video. Eddie nailed it and the camera operator deserves an Oscar.
Hi,
It's fantastic to hear such excellent feedback. Thank you
I agree 100%, thanks for that lovely video, very well made!
Great review. He just forgot to mention 3 items that I could see. The cupboard under the oven. The cupboard between the oven and fridge and the drawer above the fridge. That’s some useful extra storage.
great little camper. Now show how to get the awning back in the bag
Bellissima, sono veramente stupito da come è stato sfruttato lo spazio di questa rulotte, bravi bravi bravi...
This is by far the best and most informative demonstration of the Basecamp 2 - thank you for such a superb video.
Hi Glenda, thank you so much we're really glad you like it.
We also have expert demonstrations of the Basecamp 4 and the newer Basecamp 6!
Easily the best video I’ve seen on u tube about the base camp, great job 👍🏻
You really get your money's worth with this one the layout is lovely and inviting
Brilliant video. At last one that shows the bed layout. I’m coming to Glossop to get one of these.
Excellent all round review, that awning is amazing, great idea to get the youngster to put it up. 😅Definitely will be purchasing one of these. 👍🏻

The best caravan i have ever seen

Hi and thank you for your comment.
It's always nice to hear great feedback.
We agree, it is an awesome Caravan!
It’s a very poor second to an ABI Adventurea
Love the look but sadly not the lack of under bench storage for bedding ☹️
Great caravan!🤺🇦🇺🦘
What a great caravan. Very interesting and informative video too.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for you feedback
One would think that at the price. It would come with a built-in air compressor for the rear awning. 😎
This inflatable tents are not flatable with compressor but in 5 minutes you can inflate i have 2 of decathlon since 8 years

Thank you for your positive feedback.
Storage of a bicycle will depend on the size of your bike. We demonstrated here how to store the bicycle forward you can also store it in reverse. During transit, we recommend if the handlebar has to be positioned against the window to use something to support it.
I hope this helps!
Why not try standing the bike upside down (resting on handlebars, like when you have a puncture repair)?
On lay it flat?
Use your noggin! Pad the bar (I'd be putting a blanket or cover around bike as a matter of course anyway), put bike in backwards, adjust handle bars for transit (not a difficult or unreasonable task)... you know, common sense...
Great video 👍, is it possible to fit air conditioning on the basecamp models? Especially the 2?
Great video, only thing is you can't tow this with a fiat 500 as stated in video 🤣
Plenty room for your bike but where’s the storage for bedding, clothes etc?
Thank you for your comment.
We would recommend putting any bedding or clothes in a small transparent storage box with a lid just underneath either of the two front seat benches or in the wardrobe opposite the kitchen shown here 3:54.
