hi
We picked ours up march this year we are just back form a three week tour of Ireland have been away most weekends since we got it and have nothing but praise for it we liked the layout it suited our needs we had look about for 2 years then decided on this model looked at all 3 types 686 624 but 644 was the one for us.
We are considering buying one of these - anyone own one for their comments?
Hi
We have just ordered a Swift Escape 664 to be picked up in 10 days and really looking forward to it. The attraction was the design offered a short coach-built with a fixed-bed
This is after 4 very happy years of owning an Adria Van M which was great for us but, now we are BOTH retired, we are looking forward to the luxury of not making bed up every night on site
Asnoted above, we are delighted with our 686, which we selected to give us room to take the grandchildren away with us, and just as importantly, when we are by ourselves we have a U-shape lounge to relax.
Not the most luxurious of fittings, but at the price we have everything we could expect.
If you want a towbar, note that Swift recommend that you don't tow with the Escape models. Weird really as they only use the standard X/250 chasis and e.g. Elddis even supply a type-approved unit for their models.
Undoubtedly you can buy towbars (I've passed Escapes towing), but I guess if you're the type who worries there'd always be the nagging doubt of attitude of insurer should you have an accident towing with a vehicle that the manufacturer says shouldn't be used for such purposes.

We have the 686 and love it. The version we have has a light weight chassis, gives that extra payload, you need to change the rear overhang chassis or strenghten it, not sure which, and don't have the details here as we are in Portugal, to enable you to tow.
Happy with build quality and when fully loaded, bikes, solar panel etc had over 100K to spare when we weighed before catching the ferry

I have noted that the new Swift info list refers to:
- New Heavy duty chassis extension ready for optional homologated towbar
