    Challenger SE 480

    Well it seems I am more skilled than I gave myself credit for. Along with another post i put on this forum with regards the general state of the electrics, I have fully repaired both the electrics and the appliances myself (just awaiting sign off from a pro before we head off somewhere!)

    Challenger SE 480

    Thanks again for you replies. Damian, thanks for the research and providing the links, very useful, and i really do appreciate your efforts. I have resigned myself to the fact the Carver Cascade 2 is not economically repairable in its current state (missing control unit, power, and no history...

    Challenger SE 480

    Thanks Damian for your response, and taking the time. Having had some time this weekend to look much closer at the Parts schematic for the Carver Cascade 2 plus water heater in my old Challenger, its safe to say that the previous owner had ripped the poor unit to pieces, removing the control...

    Challenger SE 480

    Hi All New to the forum and new to caravanning (well I say new, only bought it today!). I have a question, or more of a request truthbetold. Purchased a Swift Challenger SE 480 1996 as a ''do'er'upper''. General condition of the exterior is sound, frame, floor all good with some minor signs of...
