Maintenance
MODIFICATIONS - DIY WORK
Owners need to be aware that carrying out
DIY modifications to your caravan may in
certain instances, invalidate the warranty
cover and could also affect the safety and
structure of the caravan.
Before carrying out any DIY work within the
warranty period (3/5) years please check with
your nearest Swift Group dealer or contact
Supercare customer services on 01482
875740 for advice.
CARAVAN EXTERIOR
Aluminium Panels
The stove enamelled paintwork is very
durable and easy to clean owing to the high
gloss properties.
Plastic Panels (GRP/ABS)
These are used for front and rear panels and,
in some cases, for roof and side panels.
Cleaning
For both aluminium panels and plastic panels.
1. Wash the caravan regularly with mild
detergent. Rinse with cold water and
leather off.
2. For better protection a similar coloured
good quality car wax may be applied.
When cleaning Sikaflex sealed areas, use
Domestos/water.
WARNING: Under no circumstances use
any abrasive cleaning agents or solvents
on the exterior panels.
Care should be taken as the silicon in
some polishes can attack the rubber
used on the exterior for seals and
gaskets.
Mouldings
All mouldings are of anodised aluminium and
will retain their lustre for a long period if no
abrasive materials are used to clean them.
Acrylic Windows
Wash windows carefully, as you would with
the paintwork of your car, do not scrub
windows prior to removing surface dirt and
film with a hose pipe - trapped dirt could
cause scratching.
Wash with a solution of warm soapy water,
windows can then be dried off with a leather.
Small scratches can be removed, consult
your dealer.
Catches and stays do not require any special
attention or lubrication.
Condensation
As your caravan is double glazed you may
occasionally get condensation inside the
double glazing. This is particularly so in
severe weather change (usually spring and
autumn) and is easily cured in dry weather.
i) Remove the plastic plugs from interior
top of each window.
ii) Leave unplugged for approximately 1-4
hours until condensation has cleared.
WARNING: Do not wash your caravan
with a high pressure washer as these
can permanently damage the seals of
your caravan.
Changing Exterior Bulbs
ALWAYS REPLACE LIKE FOR LIKE
For individual replacement bulb
specification, refer to your Service
Handbook.
Generally road lighting bulbs can be easily
replaced by unscrewing and removing the
lens from the exterior of the caravan,
however once the high level brake lamp is
removed from its housing there are further
screws to undo at the back of the lamp to
gain access to the bulb housing.
CARAVAN INTERIOR
Follow these guidelines to ensure your
investment is receiving the very best
attention.
Side Walls, Roof Lining
A simple wipe over with a damp cloth and a
very mild detergent is all that is needed.
