First of all, just like to say Hi to everyone, just joined the forum and it looks like a very imformative and friendly place.
Ok here's my story, we have just purchased (Privately) a 2006 Sundance 590PR, low mileage, great condition and for the price we paid much better than anything we had seen at the dealers, we have saved up for over 10 years for this as it's the one thing we both really wanted after hiring one back in 1999 we got the bug.
Anyway all fine and dandy until i googled the make & Model to see what came up and to our horror was a link on this forum regarding this rotten floor problem, so obviously i have been out to check and yes i have found some areas to be spongy to the touch, and near to the waste water pipe (Back Left Corner) i rubbed my finger underneath and the wood was totally rotten. My Wife is distraught as you can understand.
The thing is i don't know where we stand with Swift, obviously all our savings have gone on buying this, i presume the cost of repair would be quite high, and we don't know if it's safe to use?.
I have the vehicle booked in for a full engine and interior service on 9th June at South Yorkshire Caravans which are a swift dealer so i hope they could shed some light on this??
I hope Swift Read this and can point us in the right direction.
Just to say a big thanks for your replies, just spoke to AMY at swift, saying when it goes in for the service, for them to check it and for the dealer to put in a good will claim.
And in the meantime DazPash, may I offer a warm welcome to MotorhomeFacts. I hope your stay with us is a long and happy one.
You have already learned about some of the benefits of joining such a website... Things will only get better. Well done too on handing over the £10 subscription. You now have access to the full site and there is so much to learn.
You'll be pleased to know that 355 members have a Swift Sundance, of which 6, including you, have the 590PR.
As has been suggested, don't dwell on problems. Get out and enjoy your new motorhome and when the solution becomes clear, go for it.
Good luck.

Hi there
I read with interest this posting, as I am in the same situation.
I purchased my 2005 600s from Timberland Motorhomes in April 2009. It had a Timberland habitation check which states that there was no floor delamination/damp. 11 months and 3000 miles later it had another check done by another dealer, it now is reported as having 40% wet readings around the periphery of the floor, with rotten floor for 8/9 inches at the two leading edges near the step and under the water tank as well as severe damp around the entire floor pan to within 3/4 inches. Areas at the front of the floor are completely rotten.
This is the model type with black painted underside to the floor.
It appears to be another example of the 'known' fault with rotten floors on these Swift models.
Its a shame that the dealership didnt know about the problems before selling me the vehicle.
Currently speaking to Timberland and Swift to try and get a resolution.
Has anyone else had similar problems with rotten floors on these swift models?
I have a 2005 590RS which I have owned from new, I had similar problems with the floor especially around the step mountings. As the warranty had expired on the vehicle I was unsure of where I stood.
I contacted Swift directly and they were excellent, they repaired all damage at their expense and carried out the works at a time that was convenient to both parties.
