• Alde wet central heating keeps every corner of the caravan warm — radiators run through the furniture, so there are no cold spots even on frosty mornings
• Roof-mounted solar panel tops up the leisure battery on site, keeping the lights and USB chargers running without needing a hook-up for shorter stays
• The full-width rear washroom gives you a proper separate shower cubicle and a cassette toilet — no compromise, no shower curtain draped over the loo
• SMART Plus construction means no timber frame to absorb moisture — it’s one of the key reasons Swift caravans hold up so well in UK conditions
• AL-KO ATC trailer control is fitted as standard, giving you real peace of mind on motorways and in crosswinds

Bedroom
The front lounge converts into either a generous double bed or two full-length singles, depending on your preference. The seating is comfortable enough for long evenings, and Swift’s Galloway upholstery scheme keeps things feeling fresh and modern without dating quickly. Overhead lockers and under-seat storage give you plenty of room for bedding and personal gear.

Washroom
The full-width rear washroom is one of the real highlights of the 480 layout. You get a fully lined separate shower cubicle, a swivel-bowl Thetford cassette toilet, and a deep vanity basin with a mirror and storage beneath. There’s enough floor space to get changed comfortably — it doesn’t feel cramped, even for taller users.

Lounge
The parallel front lounge benefits from a panoramic sunroof that floods the space with natural light. The seating wraps around a freestanding table, and the padded wall panels give a clean, contemporary feel. In the evening, adjustable spotlights and ambient lighting make it a genuinely relaxing spot.

Kitchen
The central kitchen runs along the offside and includes a Thetford separate oven and grill, a dual-fuel four-burner hob, and a Dometic fridge/freezer. There’s a flatbed microwave tucked neatly into the cabinetry and a roof-mounted extractor fan above the hob. A dresser unit opposite provides additional worktop space and well-placed mains sockets.

Technology
A Vision Plus TV signal booster is fitted, ready for a flat-screen in the lounge area. The Alde heating system is controlled via a touchscreen panel, allowing you to programme temperatures and hot water schedules. USB charging points are dotted throughout, and the caravan is pre-wired for a full entertainment set-up.

Underneath, the AL-KO chassis provides a solid, proven platform with AKS stabiliser hitch and ATC (Auto Trailer Control) — the electronic anti-sway system that actively brakes individual wheels if the caravan begins to yaw. It’s one of the most effective towing safety systems available and comes fitted as standard on the Challenger SE.

Externally, the caravan is equipped with Truma-branded external 230v and 12v/TV sockets, making it easy to run a TV or appliances under the awning. Twin drinking-water fill points are fitted for convenient connection. Diamond-cut alloy wheels finish off the exterior smartly.

The 100W roof-mounted solar panel helps maintain the leisure battery charge during stops — particularly useful if you prefer sites without a hook-up or want to extend your time off-grid. A factory-fitted passive infrared alarm system provides security when you’re away from the caravan.

At 6.66m long and 2.28m wide, the 480 is compact enough to tow confidently and manoeuvre on tighter pitches, while still offering a surprisingly generous interior.

Has this caravan been damp-checked?
Yes — every used caravan at Golden Castle goes through a thorough damp inspection before it goes on sale. The Challenger 480 SE benefits from Swift’s SMART Plus timberless construction, which is specifically designed to resist moisture ingress, making it one of the most damp-resistant platforms on the market.

Can I tow this on a standard UK licence?
Absolutely. With an MTPLM of 1500kg, the Challenger 480 SE is well within the limits for a standard UK licence. It also sits comfortably under the 85% match-weight guideline for a wide range of popular family SUVs and estate cars.

Will my car tow it?
Most modern SUVs, estate cars, and larger family hatchbacks with a towing capacity of 1500kg or more will handle this caravan confidently. Models like the Škoda Kodiaq, Kia Sorento, Ford Kuga, and Volkswagen Tiguan are all well-matched. If you’re unsure, give us a call and we’ll help you check.

Can I check the history of this caravan?
Yes — you can verify the caravan’s history using its CRiS number (SGDST3HSWR0942285) directly on the CRiS website. This confirms the caravan’s identity, ownership history, and whether there’s any outstanding finance registered against it.

Do you accept part exchange?
Yes, we do. Whether you’re trading in a caravan or a motorhome, we’re happy to value your current vehicle against this one. Just get in touch and we’ll arrange it.

Can I come and view it?
Of course — the caravan is on-site at Golden Castle and ready to view. We’d recommend giving us a quick call ahead so we can make sure someone’s available to walk you through it.
