Top of the range Conqueror and Elite models upgraded
A new model and a further upgrade to the luxury specification lead the improvements to the top of the market Swift Conqueror and Sterling Elite models for the 2012 season.
Both ranges retain their distinctive silver metallic one piece sidewalls and also get AL-KO ATC trailer stability control systems fitted as standard, which combined with the shock absorbers and Hankook branded tyres make them some of the safest models to tow. The AL-KO AKS 3004 stabiliser is also updated with a new operating handle.
The Sterling Elites get a new interior treatment with Italian Ash woodgrain finish and new ‘Esterel’ laminate on the kitchen and table areas. In both ranges the Alde heating system gets a towel radiator fitted in the washroom of most models for extra warmth and drying capacity.
For added safety a carbon monoxide detector now comes as standard in addition to the smoke alarm.
Bed makeup is improved with a new system where the slats are retained in smooth running tracks and kitchen lighting gets an upgrade with LED downlighters set in a plinth over the kitchen locker.
Following customer feedback a new dual fuel Truma Ultrastore water heater now comes with two 230v settings – 850Watts or 1300Watts for rapid heat-up and the skylight in the washroom is clear to improve natural lighting levels. Front chest and cushion make up in the lounges has also been modified to increase lounging space by 70mm.
For added convenience external pump filling for the internal fresh water tank can now be turned on and off via the control panel inside the caravan.
The new model is the Conqueror 565 and Elite Opal which has an end washroom and fixed twin beds.
“Offering the choice of both single and twin axle layouts these two ranges offer the highest possible standards of style and living comfort at extremely competitive prices. They are designed for the couple or family that want to holiday all year round in total comfort no matter what the weather,” Nick Page, Commercial Director commented.
