First off - does anyone have an owners manual for a Swift Silhoutte? Or where to get one?
Secondly, how does a hot water system work? Any links to easy to understand websites would be very helpful. I have the Caravan Manual but it only explains cold water electric pumps. I assume a hot water system will have this but also a heater some where.
I think the brakes may need adjusted on the caravan - the handbrake only holds very high. Would this be the same as on a car? When it holds on a high notch it needs adjusted or a new cable? Also, when use the brakes I could hear a sort of clanging thumping sound, and then I went to pull away again there was a dull metallic thud. Is the brakes engaging and disengaging? Or is there something else needing looked at? It's very hard to describe but it did conincide when slowing down and seemed to improve the longer I drove. The caravan had been sat for a little while so I did wonder if maybe some surface rust had developed in the drums and with use it had worn itself off.
I also need a new jockey wheel - is there anything technical about these I should know? The one on the caravan kept collapsing as we were manouevring it by hand and there are chunks missing out of the "tyre". It's one of those solid ones.
I think that's everything for now, but I will more than likely be back with further questions as I explore my new toy!
Thanks in advance for all your help.
