All-Electric Swift Basecamp Evo Concept Caravan - EV Camping 

Love this Cameron! Great review and looking all professional with the mic!! Suits you! So stylish this one, love the black kitchen and the colour scheme generally, nice one! Keep it up!! Hugs xxx

Great to see a gas-free caravan and I welcome the compressor fridge plus air con unit.

Great review Cameron and really applaud Swift’s effort and the general concept. I love the blue colouring, very cool. Like you, I’m not quite there with giving up my gas although I generally use electric when camping.

it's very nice, they need to bring them to America

Looks great and remember an EV with V2L could charge the caravan battery.

I didn't have a wee flap to collect rain water. I had a leak into the front lounge area. It's a brilliant van but by God they need to look at the quality of the build. I had an original basecamp. I wasn't expecting anything to go wrong with it being brand new. But it did. One day we came back to find the sky light window hanging off. Used sightly broader screws and no more nails to reattach. I hope this van doesn't have any problems.

very nice, the collecting rain water for loo is genius, i like it but…. it’s missing a tv

Regardless of the ecological aspects to this concept, an all electric caravan is the perfect fit for an environment like Japan where getting any kind of gas bottle for your motorhome/caravan is nigh on impossible and boarding ferries with a gas bottle is forbidden. It is also good to see an aircon fitted and useable off of the battery. Our summers are extremely hot and very, very humid. An aircon is not a luxury, but a must have item. It wasn't mentioned in this concept, but caravan manufacturers (& motorhomes) are lacking in innovation is preparing their caravans for the use of portable electric units or 'solar generators' as they seem to be called these days. For goodness sake, where is the 'external hook-up' on the interior of these vehicles to connect a solar generator. It has to be on the inside to a) prevent theft and b) to keep the unit warm in colder weather to prevent battery loss. Worse than that, they need to find a space to put one. The only company that I know of thus far to have thought about this is Knaus on their new Yaseo lineup. There should also be a hook-up point for solar blankets that people are also likely to have if they have a solar generator. Well done Swift for developing this concept. It needs a bit of tweaking, but good so far. Just add a hook-up point to a solar generator so that owners can add to the battery capacity as I can guarantee you, that the batteries onboard are NOT enough to sustain the air conditioning for a weekend off-grid as well as heating hot water and using the cooker and keeping the fridge going.

Great well presented review Cameron. Truly exciting stuff from Swift. I’d pay extra for this kind of tech in a van.

this is exactly what I have been waiting for. Kudus Swift for doing this! I think I will be your costomer if you decide to release this :) Great presentation too !

I have an Eriba Troll and we rarely use gas so would be really interested in upgrading our Eriba to be electric only. Reckon there could be a market for full electric retrofits.

Great Cameron, 😊

Love it. Hope it comes to the USA soon.

Question: the leaves that are caught by the rainwater collection filter, can you remove them afterwards and use them as toilet paper? In my mind, that is the ultimate eco-friendly toilet setup.

I really like this

Fab review. Will be interested to see price and specs.

Its great product coneceptulaised by SWIFT........I would like to be first buyer from INDIA. All depends upon price and if price is affordable then it can change the Caravan Industry by becoming best selling product. Since we dont have Caravans in INDIA so if SWIFT plans to expand to Asia specially to INDIA then i would like to be partner to take lead..........

EVO seems to be to go to name for all electric. IIRC, EVO was the name Bailey chose for the all-electric Orion(?)

Why not include these eco designs in to your existing model ranges ie keep gas for heating and hot water if needed but incorporate solar and rain collection as standard 🤔

Some good innovative features, Cameron. However, I think the rain water flush system is a complete waste of time, money and weight. The weekend (I suppose two nights) off-grid capability is very vague and doesn´t say whether cooking, water heating for showers, washing up etc are included in the battery consumption. As a backup, a Campingaz Bistro 2 stove would be a good idea. Regarding the price, my guess is not far off 30K.

Suppose all electric it's less likely to blow up but they have lighter plastic bottles for LPG than the calor gas cannisters

Induction. Give over. Your lying

It's to small for anyone I wouldnt waste my money on this
