sleeps two more, however the tradeoff is that you lose the gorgeous
skylight. The double glazed skylight
floods the main living area and
also offers excellent ventilation.

Amazing boot space
Cupboards are plentiful but
perhaps not a deep or spacious
as other similar motorhomes. As
mentioned, you also lose the space
under the lounge and dinette
and while the main bed has gas
struts for easy access to storage
underneath, the space available
is not the full length of the bed.
That said, the Kontiki has a
huge boot space running the full
width of the van which is vastly
more practical. While it might be
completely possible to store your
skis, fishing rods, tables and chairs
under the bed in other motorhomes,
most would agree that fishy rods,
dirty chairs and snow gear are best

What the galley lacks in space,
it makes up for with style. The
Swift is beautifully presented with
a high quality fit and finish. The
sink and bench space feature a
LED-lit splash back that I would

with good “rattle free” spaces
to slide in cutlery and crockery.

lugs. The boot space also has wide
hatch doors on both ends so if you
wanted to, you could pop a washing
machine or slide out barbecue at
one end facing out and access
the storage from the other side.
Another nice touch is the
integrated LED strip lighting,
brightening up the space to help you
find exactly what you are looking for.
