This fixed-single-beds four-berth from Swift’s new Voyager range the company’s first based on a Ford Transit – impressed the judges in last year’s Practical Motorhome awards so much, it won the Best Low-Profile category. But that was based on looking over the vehicle for a very concentrated, but relatively short, amount of time.
To find out even more, we took it for a longer spin late last year, to see how well it fared after further in-depth scrutiny.
Exterior and cab
The Voyager comes with Ford’s grey metallic cab, but otherwise is a bit of a white box, except for grey metallic decals and some fetching embossed silver birds down the side.
There is a slight bulge to the roof, but it is nowhere near as pronounced as you would find with an overcab. The hump also produced no buffeting effect when we took the vehicle
