I run a Swift Esprit and am very pleased with it. It's my fourth Swift so either I am crazy (totally possible) or they can't be that bad.

I find it funny reading the posts about leaky Kontiki and Watertrails from posters who believe that a vehicle with headlights that explode, at £1500 a time are high quality.:whistle:

Not everyone can afford, or wants a Continental motorhome. Those who are running fifteen year old British, or Continental vans, are having as much fun as the rest of us, for less money. So who is right?

The idea is to have FUN, not whinge.

Can I ask if they looked at individual axle wts or just the overall total?

Dick

They weighed both axles separately and just totalled them. They were not interested in axle weights, just the gross.

You are right, it doesn't matter if you have spent a lot or a little as long as you got use and enjoyment from what you have.

We hear more about them probably because there are more of them in UK. A lot of the digs are tongue in cheek, though

Yes.

So was my comment.:)

I like the banter on here and I don't take offence easily. Probably just as well bearing in mind my life experiences!:rolleyes:

Well that`s our 13th year & still loving it.
We can all learn a lesson. Don't buy from a company that is willing to attempt to use threatening behaviour .

It would be a very brave or foolish company that with the amount of complaints you read about their products just on this website would hire a lawyer to silence a voiced opinion.
