Peter, thanks for that have tried letting the water from behind by pricking them but then the water just finds another place to get behind them had them examined by a company who said they needed to be replaced but again thanks for the assistance.

The problem with vinyl decals, especially that large, they expand and contract with the heat and cold at different rates to the panel of the vehicle.
They may look good when initially applied, but soon get dark lines around the edges where they contract, fade badly, and start to peel, eventually cracking. The same happens with van signwriting in vinyl, but as the lettering is obviously smaller area's, they take longer to noticably deteriorate.
Have you considered removing them, and NOT replacing?
They should peel off without too much trouble using a hair dryer to warm them.
Maybe other decals could be put in their place, which are not so large, similar to other models/makes, if the MH looks to plain without anything. Just a thought!

I have to say that I am surprised that those decals have given you a problem.We had the Autocruise Mustang, it was two tone silver with decals of horses on the two sides. It was laquared over the entire body and there was never a sign of them having any lift or water damage.that was after 2 years.
Have any of the others had the same problem.Maybe the offer made by Swift was a good one, especially if they threw in a free fitting by a different main dealer near you.I can understand the dissapointment you feel but I suggest you contact Kath again and ask nicely.
But then again this is only my personal opinion.Dont let this spoil your ownership of a lovely van.

Now thats what i call common sense and a bit of good customer relations why is it you have had to suggest it. Thats all it would have taken.

Thank you for the compliment, however maybe you should contact Kath and ask if they would do that for you, rather than sit back and expect them to chase you after turning their offer down.Ask them very nicely as well.

Who knows, have made enough mistakes in this lifetime to be able to sit back sip tea and take stock of things.
I have three rules in life, dont be greedy as you can lose all ;always take what is offered, as it makes people feel good that they have helped;find the other side of the subject or problem.
I am really glad that Peter has come back to you, dont think any other dealer/manufacturer would have.
And NO i have no connection with Swift and I have a Fleurette.

I would, if you feel inclined consult a solicitor about this.
The dealer whome you had the van from has responsibility for the total van and all its components. Its unacceptable for them to say "well we didnt fit the decals" or "you must have done something"
if theres a products you should aviod they have a duty to tell you. i assume they didnt.
Remind them of the worm in the bottle of lemonade
