I have a 2016 Swift Kontiki 649 purchased new and as with most not used it over the last 18 months. First time used last month first found that the Alde water central heating stopped working. Found that the small circulation pump stopped working at a replacement over £200. The Motorhome is kept warm inside all winter with a fan heater , I perhaps should have used the MH heating system to keep it working. After sorting that we planned our first outing only to find that the Dometic Fridge stopped working. All systems, 12v 240v and gas systems all work ok but it does not get cold, in fact it gets warmer. We were advised to remove it and turn it upside and to give it a good shake. After all this no difference so I am now looking to replace the fridge even though it has only worked for around 60 days in total from new. The fridge is a Dometic RMS8555 a wheel arch version which I now find is discontinued. These MH fridges normally cost around £1500 which I think is daylight robbery when you compare with a domestic home fridge that last for years at 24 hours a day for a fraction of the cost. However does anyone know where I can get another fridge to fit the hole where the RMS8555 fitted, and I will pay the asking price, perhaps.
