Swift kontiki wind noise

[Stupot]

Hi we have a 2007 swift kontiki 669, on our last outing to France last year our two kids were complaining of a whistling noise coming From behind them around the fridge area, (Thetford fridge), has anybody experienced this or similar,? Is there a cure?

Seems to be inbuilt.

The ’van generates a lot of on-road habitation noise, particularly in the kitchen area, even though we removed the pans and noise-dampened the hob’s glass lid.

Whistling around the fridge area could be slipstream coming in through fridge vent, if fridge is on, dont block it !

Probably poor seals around the back of the fridge as usual.

Thanks Peter, do you think putting a strip on sealer down the fridge cabinet from overhead lockers to the floor would help?

You might be better off to try and take the vent cover off and have a look inside, you may find the foam rubber seal has either deteriorated or fallen off, if in doubt give Ian a call on 01-580-881288 option 3 and speak to him.

You know, I think you have just answered a question I have never managed to get an answer to up till know..

About 3 years ago we was at Lincoln show.
There was a Swift there that had what was to me, a REALLY odd mod.. At least I reckoned it was a mod but it all looked sort of original

You know the gutter ( poor description .. it aint a gutter, more a wee thing moulding to stop water getting in the top of the door.. seen them with and without lights fitted in them ) that goes over the hab door on many models.. well there was two fitted on the side of the van, just forward of the fridge vents..
I reckon that had been done to cure the wind issue !

I bought the fiamma door gutter going to try it see what happens,
Cheers Stu

Not that it is of much help, we have the same model and year, never noticed any noise from that area.
