Just a quick one ... Recently informed our forum about my new to me 2019 Swift Challenger 560. Most probably my last in my life caravan. ( there's a thought 
) ...
As expected was a dream to tow and so far a dream to own with all the new Swift tech that many other Swift owners have taken for granted.
Started off not so good once on my sea view pitch exposed to the elements. Van came with a new power cable so as you do water sorted , waste trolley all set up then plugged her in ... Nothing ! No power after fluffing about in panic and cursing the Dealership found out the cable had tripped the caravan main fuse . So used my own second cable which I had , reset fuse box and Bingo all systems go. Still to check the new cable it may have just been finger trouble.
My main concern and again new to me tech is one of those raise yourself manual omni tv aerials . Raise it , twist lock it then turn the angle with "yon wee handle" don't know what the technical term is . Anyway day 3 we are getting battered by 50 mph wind and rain and to my horror noticed that water was dripping down the " yon wee handle" probably coming from the omni internal pole. Not good.. ! To be fair a few drips but we all know where that can lead to. So will have to investigate and maybe a Warranty issue. Apart form that amazing and feel very lucky...
Van is going back down in a month to get put on a seasonal. With the price in fuel and living steadily increasing have worked it out it is cheaper to site that travel over this season plus I like it down there.....
