Advice please, we are in the process of changing from motorhome to caravan, mainly because of my wife's mobility (or lack of it). We have enjoyed the motorhome (A Rapido) and have stayed on some lovely sites but have relied on public transport to get about.
Obviously with the towcar, this makes getting around and visiting the lovely places a lot easier. We have today looked at a few caravans and have been given a good part exchange price for the motorhome but I can not make my mind up between the caravans we
have seen. The models we looked at and liked were  1. Bailey Unicom 76, 2013 model   2.  Swift Corniche, 2009 model (nearly half the price of the above)  3. Swift 564 Challanger, this years model, this was at £18000.00, I do not know if this is a good price
or not.   So the questions are, Bailey or Swift,  is there anything I should look out for, how good are they for towing, has there been bad reviews on the models.  They are big vans, larger than I origionally wanted but they suited our requirements fine. 
I found myself at a total loss trying to decide which one, not helped by the fact that we called in to look at these caravans on our way back from 8 days in the motorhome in Wales and a 260 mile drive. I felt that it was posibly better to have the electronic
anti snake, but dose this really help.   So please help with a few tip and things to look out for
