Used 2016 Swift Challenger Evolution 580 – 4 Berth Dealer Special with Island Bed, Alde Heating & Motor Mover
We're always pleased to see a high-specification dealer special come into stock, and this 2016 Swift Evolution 580 is a perfect example of why they are so sought-after. In our opinion, these models are a very smart buy. They are based on the popular, high-quality Swift Challenger but come with a host of valuable extras as standard. We think the 580 layout is one of the best available, offering the highly desirable transverse island bed and a full-width end washroom. As you would expect from us, this caravan has been through our workshop and has had a comprehensive inspection, including a full damp check, ensuring it's ready to go. With a motor mover fitted, Alde central heating, and an upgraded 150W solar panel, this is a fantastic, all-season touring package.

INTERIOR HIGHLIGHTS
- Lounge: The front lounge feels bright and luxurious, thanks to the panoramic sunroof and the exclusive ‘Evolution’ soft furnishings. The comfortable, sprung sofas are perfect for relaxing and can be converted into a large double bed for guests.
- Kitchen: You get a very well-equipped kitchen, ideal for preparing proper meals. It includes a separate oven and grill, a dual-fuel hob with electric hotplate, a built-in microwave, and a tall, slimline Dometic fridge/freezer.
- Bedroom: The rear bedroom is the star of the show, featuring the retractable transverse island bed. This layout is a customer favourite because it gives you the comfort of a fixed bed with access from both sides, and it slides back during the day to create more floor space.
- End Washroom: In our experience, having a full-width end washroom is a feature that really enhances comfort. This one is very spacious, providing a private dressing area with a separate lined shower cubicle, a heated towel rail (part of the Alde system), and a stylish vanity unit.
- Heating System: A major highlight is the standard fitment of the Alde wet central heating system. We think this is the best heating system available, providing a silent, even warmth – perfect for year-round use.
-
EXTERIOR HIGHLIGHTS
- Motor Mover: A motor mover is fitted (visible in photos), which we believe is essential for easy handling. It allows you to manoeuvre the caravan effortlessly with a simple remote control, taking all the stress out of positioning it on a pitch or driveway.
- Dealer Special Extras: The ‘Evolution’ pack includes valuable additions like unique graphics, an external BBQ point, an external 230v socket, and an alarm system.
- Construction & Safety: Built using Swift’s SMART HT construction, which is a modern, timberless frame that is highly resistant to moisture. For enhanced towing safety, it comes with an AL-KO chassis, stabiliser, and ATC Trailer Control as standard.
- Solar Panel: A roof-mounted 150W solar panel is included, which is a significant upgrade. This provides a powerful charge to your leisure battery, giving you fantastic freedom to go off-grid.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What checks are done on your used caravans? Every used caravan we offer undergoes a thorough pre-delivery inspection in our approved workshop. This includes checks on all appliances (gas, water, electrics), running gear (brakes, chassis, tyres), and crucially, a comprehensive damp check using professional moisture meters. This ensures you’re buying a caravan that’s safe and ready to use, addressing a key concern for used buyers.
2. Is Alde heating a significant advantage? Yes, in our experience, it’s a major upgrade. The Alde system uses radiators to provide silent, even heat throughout the caravan, much like home central heating. It’s more comfortable and generally preferred for all-season touring compared to standard blown-air systems.
3. What is the benefit of the transverse island bed layout? This is the most popular layout we sell. The island bed runs across the caravan, allowing you to walk down both sides easily. The fact it retracts during the day in this model is a clever design that creates more floor space for accessing the end washroom.
