The Best Motorhomes in 2022 – Our Top Picks

Best Van Conversion Motorhome – Swift Monza

Kicking off our list as the best campervan in 2022 is the all-new Swift Monza. It may be one of only two campervans this year from the established British manufacturer Swift, however it ticks all the boxes for both new and experienced tourers.

A pop-top roof and double bed make up this four-bed camper, making it suitable for couples and families alike. Features include a two-burner gas hob, 42 litre drawer fridge, external BBQ point and optional Dometic mini grill.

The kitchen inside the Swift Monza is like no other campervan – the freestanding dining table is large enough for five people to dine at once, a considerable upgrade on the smaller fold-out tables we usually come to expect from van conversions.

The Monza sets itself apart from other campers with its floor rail-mounted rear bench that transforms the ratio of space between the living area and the back as and when required, offering more living and storage space than we’ve ever seen before in a compact leisure vehicle.

You can slide the seats forward during transport to fit plenty of belongings in the boot and slide them back when you pitch up at camp to create an abundance of space in the living area for the whole family to enjoy.

Perhaps one of the most unique features is the external water hook-up, including an outdoor shower/hose and portable toilet. Not only does it maximise space on the inside, but it ensures you can keep the interiors clean and travel to places without campsite amenities.
