Engineering innovative, world-leading fabrication methods
Next Generation from Swagman Motorhomes setting a new standard for excellence in engineering and fabrication
In 2004 Swagman Motorhomes was purchased by Steve Searle, who used his knowledge of composites and resins to take the company to the next level, in the process setting a new global standard for construction and fabrication within the industry.
Through an intense and productive Research and Development program and by establishing long-term strategic partnerships with key industry-leading suppliers, Swagman Motorhomes has produced the revolutionary Next Generation range of luxury motor homes, setting a new standard in engineering excellence.
ARMOUR-SHELL™ unique one-piece body construction
ARMOUR-SHELL™ is a fully-moulded and seamless body, incorporating the roof, sidewalls, and the rear and front headers of the vehicle.
Crafted from a strong yet lightweight Carbon fibre/Kevlar composite, this innovative process is adapted from the advanced technology and construction methods used to fabricate the high-strength hulls of performance racing boats.
Incredibly, the structural strength of the patented ARMOUR-SHELL™ body is 8 times greater than traditionally constructed motor home bodies.
The benefits for you are greatly improved strength, stability and safety and a dramatic reduction in weight, improving performance, handling and safety.
Swagman Euro Space Framethe foundation of your first class ride
Swagman has developed an exclusive, industry-leading chassis specifically designed for each of the models within the Next Generation range.
The Space Frame is a purpose-built, state-of-the-art custom motorhome chassis, specifically designed for the Next Generation series from Swagman. Some of its many advantages are:
- Lighter than a conventional chassis but with superior strength throughout
- The design of the space frame enables more storage throughout the sub floor area
- Superior transfer of load and structural stress
Unlike coventional truck-based designs, the advanced design and engineering of the Swagman Space Frame chassis evenly distributes weight and structural stress throughout the entire chassis, reducing the possibility of torque or twisting and increasing durability and reliability.
This provides the ultimate foundation for your Next Generation Swagman Motorhome, with the added benefit of increased pass-through storage for your convenience.
Built specifically for Swagman's ARMOUR-SHELL™ body and custom-designed for each different model within the range, the Space Frame maximises convenient storage space and structural strength, making the Next Generation range from Swagman Motorhomes a world-leader from top to bottom.
Allison Transmission smooth shifts, faster acceleration and greater response in all driving conditions
Allison fully automatic power shifting transmissions combine torque converter operation with "closed loop" adaptive controls to provide you with the smoothest possible ride.
Allison transmissions maintain constant power delivery to the wheels during gear changes, so acceleration is brisk and steady, even on steep grades and Automatic Traction Control (ATC) helps to eliminate wheel spin at the drive axle, improving control in slick conditions.
The electronically controlled output retarder in an Allison transmission allows smooth progressive stopping and the seamless transition between the retarder and service brakes ensures greater control at low speeds, while providing you with the additional braking you need on hills.
Allison transmissions are designed to operate as quietly as possible, minimising stress for the driver and maximising comfort for the passenger. The planetary gears are helical cut resulting in significantly reduced noise output both inside and outside. The transmissions modular structure has fewer moving parts and the lock-up clutch ensures no mechanical slip between the engine and transmission.
