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,
