The 2018 Swift Bessacarr E596 is a great choice if you’re after a motorhome that feels spacious, practical, and comfortable for both travel and nights away. Built on the Fiat Ducato with the 2.3- litre 130 bhp engine and a smooth 6- speed manual gearbox, it has enough power for relaxed motorway cruising while staying easy to handle on smaller roads.
You step inside into the forward lounge, which instantly gives the motorhome a welcoming, open feel. The Pullman dinette is a really versatile space: four fully belted travel seats make it ideal for family trips, and once you’re parked up it works beautifully as a dining or social area. In the evening, this same seating converts into a decent double bed. Above it is the drop-down double bed, which easily glides down once you press the release button.
The kitchen is well-designed and offers everything you need for proper cooking on the road. You get a three-burner hob plus an electric hot plate, a separate oven and grill, a circular sink with a mixer tap, a microwave, and even a fold-away extension to boost your worktop space. A large fridge with a freezer compartment ensures your food stays cool and fresh. It’s all laid out so you can actually enjoy preparing meals rather than feeling cramped.
Opposite the kitchen is the washroom, cleverly organized with a separate shower cubicle included.
At the rear, you’ll find the standout feature of this motorhome: the huge U- shaped lounge. It’s a brilliant relaxation space during the day, whether you’re reading, relaxing with the family, or enjoying the view out of the wrap- around windows. At night, it transforms quickly into a very large double bed, giving you a genuinely comfortable sleeping area separate from the front of the motorhome.
Extras like the reversing camera, awning, and a tow-bar make this model even more appealing, especially if you enjoy outdoor activities or need extra convenience on longer trips. Overall, the Bessacarr E596 offers loads of flexibility, great living space, and a smart layout that works beautifully for families or couples wanting room to spread out.
