I have a 2007 Kon Tiki 645 the bottom catch of the door does not fit properly and needs to be slammed to make it close, I have taken it to the dealer who says that this is NORMAL i cannot beleive that is the case, please could you advise.

Hi don`t be fobbed off by your dealer if you`r not satisfied with them get in touch with Swift . If the door on your motor home is the same type that was fitted to my voyager it will probably need replacement or at least checking .

Habitation Door
I received a letter from Swift on the 15th jan 2010 asking me to book my m/home into the local dealers to have a simple mod done(Removal of gas strut and the fitment of a door/stop retainer) droped of m/home on sat 6th feb and due to pick it up sat 13th feb this suits me.Low&Behold i get a second letter to day telling me to book my m/home in to have a mod done to the habitation door this time they state that my door requires the replacement of the fitted pressurised gas strut and replaced with a non pressurised strut also a lower door retainer i contacted the dealer to see if they are aware of this revised mod they are in the dark and have not rec the letter from Swift i scaned in the letter and e/mailed them i also contact Swift but just got the run around i know that sometimes Swift monitor this Forum and wonder if he can shed some light on this also i have the e765s model thedoor cant go back to the wall because of the 240 volt supply skt

I Also complined to your Tech dept about having to slam the door to shut even at that the door does not close properly i was told that this was not a problem and quote( the door was designed to be slamed )this door has been back on 3 ocassions to the dealer in order for them to secure the rods within the door as they are always coming loose i have sent 4 e/mails last week and yesterday to swift to try and get closure on this no respone what so ever from Swifts c/services when you think that you pay 57k for this model to get trated like this is ridiculous i realy admire your input to this forum at times it must be hard it is a pity there are not more like you within the Swift Group
Thanks
Bill

Hi Bill,
I can understand your frustration, and if you would like to send me an e-mail / PM with your details, I can ask our Customer Care team to investigate why you have not had a response to your e-mails.
I would add it does take a few days to respond, simply because of the volume of enquiries we receive.
Thanks,
Ash
