@MH 55 FUN the payload is a real issue. Half of that is gone just from passenger and dogs .. Based on the useful document you posted though I wonder if replating might be a pure paperwork exercise?
Maybe it is just a paper exercise, however you'll have potential issues selling it again to a limited market if uprated, & @3.5t it appears unfit for purpose as per @Mickey1's unpleasant Chausson escapade in the other thread.

I think to get what we want the likelihood is that 3.5t isn't enough anyway.. So whether we choose a different van or replate this one the outcome might be the same

And that's without some of the extras already fitted to the M/H, hopefully it's on maxi chassis, amazing how they can get away with it otherwiseIf this is correct, 265kg of payload makes it unfit for purpose i.m.o.

The awning is under the bed. No idea what it is but presume it is a driveawayWhat happened to the awning. Looks like the fitting rail has been left on. As above Swift are not very well put together. We had 2012 one and that had all sorts of bits falling off. They give the customer what they want. Loads of BLING and a Microwave. Just be really good if they could actually screw one together that doesn't start falling apart as soon as you drive it away from the Dealer.

Seems to be the 'going' price at a dealershipMay be im old fashioned or tight seems a lot of money for a 2004 van , plus the problems previous posts have highlighted .

Of course the Kontiki is a much longer van than the Bessie e710 you OP'd with - presumably the driving, parking, weight or storage has been considered?We went to highbridge at the weekend and after looking in at least 100 vans came away in love with a swift kontiki 660

Now of course we know this is to all intents the same van as the bessacarr 760 we found online. Does anybody know if there really is a difference?
How bad is the swift problem? Are we safe enough if we buy from a reputable dealer?
I had an Ace [Swift] Modena 2004 with a very similar layout to that Besscarr e710 and have to say the layout suited me well.
