Fiat Ducato Swift Royale 610 2.5TDI
Message:
I am a fool! I do things the wrong way round! Today I bought a 1998 Fiat Ducato Swift Royale 610 2.5TDI motorhome. It has cost me a reasonable £16995 from a dealer. It looks really good. Only done 10000 miles - yes 10000. Interior - as new. I would really appreciate you guys who have one of these telling me the positives and negatives. As with most review sites you only tend to get the bad points - so a cross section of opinions would be good. I've got six months warrenty to get any gremlins sorted. The decals have faded badly - how do I get new ones? Tyre preesures? MPG? Is the judder in reverse a real problem?
Really anything you can give me in information would be most welcome. Please don't tell me it was a mistake! I have just traded in my trusty 1991 Talbot Highwayman!

I think a lot of people did what you did. I can't answer any of your questions (except the judder only affects new fiats) but someone will be along soon who can help. Looks like you got a good buy.
Above all - ENJOY! Well worth paying the tenner to join up on here; you'll get loads of free advice and good natured banter. just be aware when someone (who was it?) comes on here and mentions a guy called Peter who has a passing interest in Swift Motorhomes - Peter is chairman of Swift and an active and constructive participant on here. Don't forget however that your contract is with the dealer, not Swift themselves.
All the best

Hi Andy, happy new MH 
, You can buy the decals from fleabay or get your local print shop to copy them, or from Swift, im not sure they will stock them though!! tyre pressure, im not sure but as a guess its around 60psi, MPG should be between 20-25, reverse judder is only on the new Fiats . Im sure someone will be along to give you exact figures
