We hate to rush you, but this is a critical heads-up. The window for getting your perfect new caravan ready for the next touring season (April 2026) is closing fast.

The issue isn’t just about waiting; it’s about securing your choice before manufacturers run out of production slots for specific models.

The Hard Truth: There’s a Limit to How Many Are Built

The idea that you can simply order a caravan later and wait is incomplete. Manufacturers like Coachman and Swift can only build a set number of units per model year. You are competing for a finite resource.

The True Cost of Delay: Losing Your Ideal Layout

When you delay ordering:

  1. You Miss the Touring Season: Our conversations with the Coachman team confirm that orders placed now are already securing April 2026 delivery slots. Waiting means your caravan might arrive in mid-summer.
  2. You Lose Your Ideal Model: The most popular layouts, like the specific Lusso or a certain Swift Challenger configuration, are allocated and sold first. By waiting, you aren’t just waiting longer; you are choosing from what’s left.

This is why the market is so busy right now—buyers know they have to secure their spot to guarantee the exact caravan they want.

Coachman & Swift: Why Demand is So High

Demand for quality remains strong, pushing production.

  • Top Models Go First: Aspirational models like the Coachman Lusso and the top-spec Swift Elegance Grande maintain incredibly high demand.
  • Confidence in Build: This is backed by manufacturer commitment to quality, such as Swift’s new flexible, bolted sunroof design in the 2026 range.

Your Strategic Window: Plan Now to Tour in April

This is your moment to be strategic. Ordering your 2026 caravan now ensures you get the layout and spec you desire, ready for touring in the spring.

If you want the stability of a new Coachman VIP or a reliable Swift ready for that first long bank holiday weekend, you must secure your order this month.
