Default Swift Kontiki 610
Hello, I'm such a newbie that I don't yet have a motorhome! I'm thinking about a Swift Kontiki 610, which is 3 years' old and has 7000 miles on the clock. Can anyone give me any information about this vehicel please?
thanks

We have a Swift Kontiki, albeit a 1989 2.5 TD. Although it is a little tired and weary. It is a brilliant vehicle. Just wish we could afford a younger one. But we already have 3 Motorhomes.

BTW. A BIG welcome to MotorhomeFun.

Hi Phinbo,

Welcome.

Before you part with any cash make sure you get a damp test done it.

They did not get the nick name of "Konliki" for nothing.

I have a 1987 Kon Tiki!
Its still earning its money and has more technology than most aircraft!
Top bus!
Its the caterpillar of European motorhomes!
ie: In twenty years time the others will be in the scrap yard while the Kon Tiki still chugs on!
