Please can anyone help me in identifying the function of a switch inside my Swift Kontiki 650 yr2005. I have owned my motorhome for 18 months and still can't fathom what this switch does! It's located on the side of the fridge next to the bathroom and shower light swithces (diag 1) and has a power light when in the "on" position. The fridge fan switch is clearly marked and situated in a cupboard next to the fridge(as in diag 2). Turning this switch on or off does not have any visible effect....Baffled

On our 615 (admittedly not the same but who knows?) it turns on the outside light!

I don't know but I am sure swift will and as they monitor the forum I feel certain Kath will soon be in touch.

We will look and see if we can identify what the switch is and come back to you, thanks

Hi
The switch in question is for the fridge fan and the fused spur (switch) in the cupboard is the 240v isolating switch for the fridge.

Hi Pwilmo,

The bank of switches adjacent to door are;
- Mid roof lights
- Front roof lights
- Awning light switch
- Step switch

The bank of switches on side of fridge unit (diag 1 & 2) are;
- Vanity light switch
- Shower light switch
- Fridge fan switch*


* The fridge fan switch controls the 12v supply to the fridge fan, but the fan will only operate when the temperature at the back of the fridge is high as the fan has a thermostat.

Thanks
Andy

Hi, I have found the release for the cold water pipe (safety/drain valve in cold-water intake - P44 Bessacarr owners manual) in the locker under the double floor cavity adjacent to the Truma heater cupboard but cannot locate the Truma Electrical safety/drain valve (referred to on P68 of the manual) - on my previous Hymers this electrical valve was bolted on the side of the combi-boiler and easy to see-access. but there is no sign of this on my boiler?

Hi jonnystrong2000

The electric valve is an Truma option not fitted to most British built vans. You have to remember to drain manually when the temperature drops below freezing.

Trevor: thanks for that - it was driving me nuts looking for the electrical switch! Unsure you will know this one - but I may have a draft answer - on my Sergent PSU there is a switch on the top for 'Heater' - is this a Swift alternative for the Truma EL (240v_ heater switch do you know?
