Difference between models Forums

pete4x4

I'm in the market for a new motorhome and am looking at the Swift group. Can anybody enlighten me on the difference between Ace, Bessacar and the Kon-tiki range as the equivalent model in each range share the same layout, same weight (almost) and look the same apart from upholstery.
I've probably generalised a bit but what are the differences, cost is almost the same. Is one more upmarket or is it literally a marketing scam to inflate the range or is one better than the other?

Hello Pete,

Ace is entry model
Swift/Bess next
Kontiki

All down to build quality and level of equipment.

Kontiki built on Alko Chassis as an example.

Not right as ace and swift are the same no price or spec between them, bessacar is little more, few extras and plusher trim etc.

they all come out the same factory, the reason is so they can have more dealers per area and in turn sell more vans.
