Can't really help you there I'm afraid as we took out a 5 year subscription so won't find out until next year whether we get a reminder or not.

Hi Sir Roger, We have the HAL Locate fitted since 2009 and have had no problems apart from the location of the aerial. Once this was positioned correctly it has worked fine (touch wood). We sometimes have to disarm the system a number of times due to poor signal reception, we usually find out...

Hi David, We realised the damp was from the rail not the window seals because the damp readings extended high up the side of the windows. This was confirmed when the caravan was assessed for the repair at the repairers.They put in the claim with Swift who to be fair approved the work almost...

Hi David, I am sorry to hear of your damp problem. Although we have an Ace Equerry not a Challenger we have suffered similar problems. Our caravan is a 2008 model and was found to have damp around the front windows and the rear bathroom offside wall (April 2010). We had to have a new front...

Update: Letter of rejection has been sent to Discover Leisure. No faith in this model of caravan anymore. Makes me wonder whether there is an inherent problem with this design, by all accounts it was a good seller yet was discontinued after I think only 3 years...mmmmm

Well it had to happen didn't it. Our Ace Jubilee Equerry has just gone in for its 2nd year service and damp has been found at both ends of the caravan . Not very good really for a 2 year old van. To make matters worse this is a replacement caravan for our original 2005 Jubilee that had leaking...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you at Swift. Thanks for your assistance during the year. Best Wishes from Andy Deb and Ella

Me too, They definitely say you need a French bank a/c.

Hi John, Thanks for your thoughts. I have had confirmation from Discover that they believe this is quite normal but they will check the worst offending areas closely during its service in April. In the meantime we just have to follow all the guidelines and monitor the situation over the winter...

I have got a stop over at Black Horse Farm in July, Dec 2010 at Chatsworth Park and New year at Chester FairOaks. We wanted Rowntree Park but 31st December was already fully booked. I had to get this booked via the phone as the web site seemed worse than last year. Rallying for the rest of the...

Hi John, It is because we do have good ventilation and still seem to be suffering from excessive condensation that I am worried. My 2005 Equerry suffered from bad condensation in the rear corner wardrobe and the wall board started to peel away (the 2008 version has the blown air pipe routed...

Hi Ash, Yes to all your questions. The condensation was that bad on Saturday morning that I thought the front windows had leaked again (long story). The water had run over the top of the seals and down the front wall board on to the sill (I have photos if you would like to see them). I even...

Hi Ash, Thanks for your quick response as usual. We already do all that you state including the blinds at night while away. The blinds are left open while in storage though and the curtains closed to reduce fabric fade. Also while we are away we try to leave a couple of windows on night vent...

Hi All, Sorry I'm sure this has been covered loads of times but here goes. We keep our 2008 Ace Jubilee Equerry in a storage site so access to mains electricity is not an option. During colder months we use dessicant packs throughout the van to help keep moisture down. The problem is we still...

Hi Tim, Thanks for your reply. I will be having a look at lunch time at your route. Cheers Andy
