I seem to remember that Swift were at the Dusseldorf show aiming to enter the European market so surely they have researched the needs of this market?

I’m sure they will be able to help you if you give them a call.

Thanks everyone for your replies, apologies for not getting back in touch earlier.
My reply to Kath is that maybe Swift should increase the gas-door locker size to a minimum of 400mm x 500mm. What do all the owners do when on holiday abroad if their bottles run out? If they do not have re-fillable bottles it seems to me they are slightly 'up the creek'
To everyone else -this is our second English motorhome. We registered the first (a Ford Hillsider) 3 years ago. Yes, it was involved -visits to various departmental offices etc. but in the end everything went OK. The habitation door was not a problem, but we did have to have checks done on the gas fittings etc. No jubilee clips holding gas piping, and an extra vent in the habitation door at floor level. As this was a 1993 model it lacked many of the fittings as standadrd that our new van does.
Hoping for no major problems this time!
I changed the gas bottle door on the Ford myself. Able to use standard French bottles after that.
I didn't buy a left-hand drive van as the prices in France are far higher than in UK (second hand) I bought the Ford 3 years ago, and have just sold it to a French couple for the same price as I paid for it. My reasoning is -if you don't pay a lot you don't lose a lot......unlike some of the poor Ducatto owners who are experiencing huge problems at the moment with the juddering etc.
No disrespect meant to anyone.
