2027 Swift Conqueror 565

New for 2027 the Swift Conqueror 565 is a single-axle, four-berth touring caravan measuring 25’4” long with an MTPLM of 1,700 kg. At 7'5" wide, it offers a layout that balances living space and sleeping comfort. The 565 features parallel bench seats at the front (converting to a double bed), a central kitchen, twin fixed single beds and an end washroom. The Conqueror range sits above the Challenger in Swift's line-up, featuring Alde radiator heating, premium interior finishes and an integrated alarm system.

Swift's SMART construction underpins the Conqueror, using a PURe polyurethane timber-less bodyshell frame with polystyrene insulation and GRP panels. Sidewalls are 25mm with balanced GRP inner and outer skins, the roof is 32mm with a hail-resistant bonded finish, and the 44mm sandwich floor combines GRP, plywood and Ravatherm insulation. The structure is EN1645 Grade 3 certified for thermal insulation.

The chassis is AL-KO galvanised steel with Euro-axle, fitted with 15-inch half diamond-cut 'Edge' alloy wheels, a steel spare, wheel lock and shock absorbers. A 120W roof-mounted solar panel, external BBQ and mains points, and a cold water shower point are all standard. The entrance door includes a magnetic stay, interior moulded liner, concealed hinges, built-in window with blind, and even a bin with dustpan and brush.

Inside, there is 1.95m (6'5") of headroom. The new 'Bolognia' soft furnishing scheme is paired with Sangallo Elm woodgrain and 'Grau' and 'Tora Tela' accent details. Upper locker doors feature 'Kasmere' with 'Glido' inlay and soft-close hinges. The Grey French Oak effect vinyl floor is scratch-resistant, and new higher pile sectioned removable carpets can be bleached for easy maintenance.

The Dometic panoramic front sunroof has an integrated curved blind system, recessed lighting and speakers brings light into the lounge. Luxury curtains on twin tracks dress the front windows, complemented by wall pads. New sprung seat bases and tri-foam backrests improve comfort for both sitting and sleeping.

The twin beds sit on an aluminium frame with a wooden bed base surround, full-height headboards and new exclusive Duvalay Duvalite Alto mattresses featuring a platinum support layer, reflex foam and memory fibre. A large external luggage door provides access to storage beneath the beds. All windows have pleated blinds and flyscreens.

The L-shaped kitchen offers generous worktop and storage space, topped with a solid-surface worktop and flush-fitting chopping board. Cooking equipment includes a Thetford thermostatic oven and grill, a three-burner gas hob with electric hotplate and electronic ignition, and a flatbed ventilated microwave. A dual-hinged Dometic Series 10 133-litre slimline fridge with 12-litre removable freezer provides cold storage.

There is a flush-fitting splashback with utensil hanging space and two pull-out wire baskets in the kitchen cupboard. The stainless steel sink has a chrome swivel-spout tap, and a removable drainer and food-grade nylon chopping board nest together in a dedicated storage location. An extractor fan, foldaway worktop extension, soft-close drawers and a freestanding table complete the kitchen.

The end washroom has been updated with a thick 'Levato' marble-effect work surface, vanity bowl, splashback and additional lighting. An Ecocamel Jetstorm showerhead with push-button on/off helps conserve water. The Thetford toilet has an electric flush and 18-litre wheeled waste tank. Handleless furniture gives a clean, modern look, and the 31mm washroom door has a domestic-style lock and handle. A storage shelf, towel ring and shower hanging rail are included.

The front chest has a soft-close drawer and slide-out extending top. Overhead lockers use positive catches with chrome handles, upper front corner lockers add extra space, and spaceframe seat bases open from the front for larger items.

The Conqueror uses Alde radiator central heating and hot water, programmable daily via an LCD touchscreen with 1kW, 2kW or 3kW output options. Perimeter radiators provide even warmth to under-bed, under-seat and washroom areas.

A 4-inch LCD colour touchscreen manages power, battery levels, lighting with soft-start dimming, and environmental monitoring (internal/external temperature and humidity). The electrical system includes a 25-amp switchmode charger/transformer, at least six 230V sockets with USB-A and USB-C points, a wireless phone charging pad, and a 25-metre mains hook-up cable.

LED lighting is comprehensive: lounge downlights, under-counter kitchen lighting, over-locker lighting, adjustable under-locker spotlights with USB points, illuminated pelmets above side windows, kitchen plinth downlights and strip lights above wardrobes. Entertainment includes an FM/DAB radio with USB and Bluetooth, a Status 570 directional TV/FM aerial with booster, and TV points with 230V, 12V and aerial connections.

The Conqueror comes with a passive infra-red alarm system with tilt sensor and key fob operation. AL-KO ATC electronic stability control and an AKS 3004 stabiliser manage towing safety. Security also includes one-key high-security locks, an entrance door deadlock, VIN CHIP identification, CRiS identity labels and an AL-KO Secure axle wheel lock. Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are standard.

Manufacturer-backed 6-year bodyshell and 3 year internal warranty (subject to servicing).
