• A Powrtouch Evolution motor mover fitted – pitch the caravan from the handset with no pushing.
• A solar panel with Victron SmartSolar charge controller – keeps the leisure battery topped up on pitches without hook-up.
• A genuine transverse island bed layout – retracts by day to widen the walkway to the washroom.
• The full-width end washroom – separate shower cubicle, swivel toilet and a heated towel rail.
• Alde wet central heating – even, radiator-style warmth with no fan noise.

Bedroom: A transverse island bed sits centrally and retracts a few inches during the day to widen the walkway through to the washroom, giving a genuinely flexible layout.

Washroom: The full-width end washroom includes a separate shower cubicle, a swivel Thetford toilet and a heated towel rail linked to the Alde heating system.

Lounge: The front lounge’s parallel bench seating sits beneath a panoramic sunroof and pulls out into a second double bed when needed.

Kitchen: A well-equipped central kitchen with a dual-fuel hob (three gas burners plus an electric hotplate), separate oven and grill, a microwave, and a Dometic fridge, plus a lift-up worktop extension for extra prep space.

Technology: A fitted Sony MEX-N7300BD DAB and Bluetooth stereo with Vibe coaxial speakers, an Alde wet central heating system, a solar panel with Victron SmartSolar MPPT 75/15 charge controller, and smoke and carbon monoxide alarms fitted as standard safety equipment.

The Challenger 580 tows on a single axle, with a Powrtouch Evolution motor mover fitted for effortless pitching. A solar panel and rear-mounted cycle carrier are also fitted, and the exterior includes a service locker for the cassette toilet and waste system, plus an external cabinet with 12V and mains sockets. Built using Swift’s SMART Plus construction, with a timberless body frame and a hail-resistant GRP roof to reduce the risk of rot.

This pre-owned 2016 example presents well throughout. Our full range of used caravans includes single-axle and twin-axle family layouts if you would like to compare, and Swift’s approach to caravan construction is explained further on the Swift Caravans website.

Q: Has the caravan been checked for damp?
A: Every used caravan we sell at Golden Castle is inspected before it goes on sale, particularly the floor and roof seals given this model’s age. Ask us for the details on this Challenger 580 when you enquire or visit.

Q: Does it have a motor mover fitted?
A: Yes – a Powrtouch Evolution motor mover is fitted, so pitching is done from the handset rather than by hand.

Q: Does it have solar power?
A: Yes – a solar panel fitted with a Victron SmartSolar charge controller keeps the leisure battery topped up on pitches without a mains hook-up.

Q: What car do I need to tow a caravan this size?
A: With an MTPLM around 1550kg you will want a substantial tow car – typically an SUV or 4×4 with a kerbweight around 1,825kg or more for a comfortable match using the 85% rule of thumb. We’ll confirm the exact figure once the weight plate is verified. Tell us what you drive and we will check it for you.

Q: Can I tow this on my driving licence?
A: Yes, this caravan’s weight is comfortably within the 3,500kg combined limit for drivers who passed their test after 1997, using a standard UK licence.

Q: How does the island bed layout work?
A: The transverse island bed retracts a few inches during the day to widen the walkway to the washroom, then pulls back out to full length for sleeping.

Q: Do you take part exchange?
A: Contact us with the details of your current caravan and we will be happy to discuss a part exchange valuation.

Q: Can I check the caravan’s history myself?
A: Absolutely. You can verify the caravan’s CRiS record independently on the CRiS website – we encourage every buyer to do so, and we’re happy to provide the VIN when you enquire.
