Ray..I don't think the door problems can be said to be down to Swift. This Hartel door was fitted to many other makes of vans and the same mechanism is failing in them as well.

As everyone else I have just experienced the same breakage in the same place, luckily on our last day away in Norfolk. The quote I have for a replacement part is £269.17 inc vat which is disgusting given that this is a known problem. I also had the door replaced under warranty in 2009, and would strongly advise anyone against buying this make/model of van as the faults have been many and the warranty repairs frequent. We'd hoped that this pattern had been broken but allas no. It is a great pity to have these quality problems with what is a brilliant motorhome design which otherwise continues to give us many happy trips.

My van is at the dealers at the moment having the second door fitted in 2 months. The first door which was fitted under warranty had been repaired (badly) and Swift have 'no record' of it's repair. We waited 6 weeks for a new door to be told someone had cancelled the order, so they are fitting a door ordered for someone else. It's unbelievable! Rolling Eyes
