The vehicle battery is probably in the cab, under a floor plate, between the front seats. It might feel softer than the surrounding cab floor as you step on it.
We will have to wait for a Swift owner to come along to help you further.

I’m not very technical, but the solar panel should wired to a device called a battery master. This device (if fitted) will balance the charge from the solar panel to both the habitation battery and the vehicle battery. They are not always fitted though, and so it could just be charging your habitation battery.

It’s a good idea to try and determine the charge in your batteries but if they are being charged either by your solar, or by plugging your van into the mains (on EHU), then the actual state of them shown on your control panel will just reflect the charge going in.
Have a hunt around in your cupboards and under the beds and in the garage etc and post photos of anything you don’t understand.
While you are hunting around, you might find your habitation battery, it would normally be near the fuse box.

Hi Look under your drivers seat for the leisure battery which lays on its side and secured by straps.
That's where mine lives
