Obviously, Swift should be your 1 st port of call. You never know they may have some in the back locker somewhere.
You have mentioned replacing them with those from a newer model, but the problem could be trying to get all the old ones off without ruining the paintwork. A professional with a good steamer may be the answer there. The next point is that if the new ones are not the same shape and size, you will probably see the outline of the old ones in the paintwork.
The last option I could suggest is to take pictures and maybe get new copies made by a printer.

I made a simiar enquiry to a signwriter two years ago. I was told that due to the complexity of the graphics, especially if they were mult-coloured, would work out quite exepensive.I wasn't quoted exact figures,but the signriter thought it would be a lot of work even when using a computer for the design.
Hi Adam,
There was someone regularly advertising sets of decals for a wide range of caravans on eBay (caravans for sale) but I've forgotten the name.
The decals came in different sizes so you had to know exactly what you needed. They could be bought in sets or individually - I bought one to replace the very faded ELDDIS on the front of my Hurricane.

you should never contact the manufacturer. when the graphics faded on our swift, swift quoted a stupidly high price. we had some re-made by a printer. these are quality grapics and were very cheap. most graphics just peel off, and if they don't, a tip i was told was to poor hot water on them and they come straight off.
I think you answered your own question when you mentioned the Company. The big boys do not really want to know about these sorts of things.
When my motorhome (Compass) required some repairs it was done at the factory. This was in the days when Compass were an independent Company based in Durham. My model was 4 years old and of course the decals on new models were different but Compass found some of the original decals in their back rooms and not only replaced the worn ones on my truck, but gave me some spares for free.
Unfortunately, in our age of bigger and bigger Companies the care factor gets lost along the way. However I would still ask as if they did have any, at least you know they would be the correct ones.
