I have it on good authority that Swift don't carry stock (or very limited amounts - certainly not the items that are listed here).
Therefore, they make everything to order and being such 'bespoke' items, they tend to cost!!

I'm sure you are right and I'm positive that Swift don't see big profits in spares so the price is used as a deterrent.
A friend of mine has a boatyard on the Broads and specializes in renovating traditional wooden cruisers. He said that he could make the coffee table I mentioned earlier in proper wood for

hi all
maybe a search around the internet for caravan breakers might be in order
you never know your luck,you might think your van is fairly new and breakers will not have one like yours in...........but accidents do happen all the time and maybe one like yours may have just been damaged and scrapped
i know its not the same but i found a gearbox off a car that way,the guy i talked to said he had not seen my type of car in 2yrs and in the week i contacted him he had 2 in
anyway its worth a try,you might stike lucky

Not quite the same thing I know - but I have emailed Swift 3 times just to find out what the front panel of my Sterling van is made of. Not even an acknowledgement from them. I used to find the Swift Group helpful, but not any longer I fear.
