It's right. You learn something New every day.

Had my van plus fridge serviced on Friday, needed a roof strap repaired, otherwise everything OK.

Then----- Started to get van ready, hope to go away next week. then I realised that there was no 12v supply in the van, no cooker ignition, no fridge control circuits and no lighting, every thing dead. Checked every fuse I could find, all checked out. Then noticed top left hand corner of RCD box "Systems shutdown switch" never used it, never noticed it before.

After a quick change of clothing, everything settled now.

That's the point, I've had this van 6 years this month, and a Corniche 10 years before that, with similar electric systems, and never noticed it.

If you look in the owners manual for swift’s you will see guidance on that 12 volt press switch which on my 2012-13 had to be pressed in for towing. Says something about it setting up the electrical circuits specifically for towing,
