Swift opens their factory doors to Basecamp owners and enthusiasts
Published:
Swift recently opened the doors of its East Yorkshire manufacturing site to a mix of proud Basecamp owners and prospective buyers for a unique behind-the-scenes experience.
More than 60 guests attended the exclusive event, including members of the Swift Basecamp Owners Group. Visitors were given an in-depth look at the craftsmanship behind our crossover camping vehicle, with guided factory tours offering rare insights into how each Basecamp is made.
Guests were welcomed into our on-site café, Hub 64, where they enjoyed a selection of refreshments before and after their tour. The space also provided the perfect setting for Basecampers to connect, share stories and become part of our growing Basecamp community.
While in the café, attendees had the opportunity to view exclusive concept designs for the Basecamp of the Future and provide direct feedback to our design team - playing a part in shaping the next generation of Basecamp.
Visitors also explored the latest Basecamp models, including the popular RVA2 optional awning, and spoke to members of our Customer Experience and Design teams, who were on hand to answer questions and hear thoughts first-hand.
Before heading home, guests received a Basecamp-themed goodie bag and were treated to a look at The Safari, one of our vintage caravans whose spirit most closely echoes today’s Basecamp - an unexpected highlight for many.
“Attended the Basecamp Fest 2025 today, very informative presentation, tour of the factory, had the opportunity to look at the 2025 models and provide feedback on the Basecamp of the future! Thank you to the Swift team who very welcoming, passionate about their product and very knowledgeable.”
