    I forgot to mention that you can avoid grounding out your vehicle if you have air suspension fitted(albeit very expensive)…you can raise it higher whilst driving or when stationery to avoid situations like that. John & tash (life beyond brick’s) have the same suspension fitted. It’s also excellent for levelling the van as long as it’s not ridiculously sloped

    Hope you don't regret the swop from that 3ltr !! I did the same 2013 Autotrail Comanche to a 2021 Warwick XL I did 9000k in 12 months and have sold it.Every 100 miles 1ltr of add blue I had the superb 9 speed auto box(no complaints there) but those new Fiat engines they can keep them.Once the amber warning light comes on depending on your driving style or load you get 350 miles then it goes red. Apparently you have about 20 miles left before it wont restart,not a nice feeling.I was told 10,000 miles before amber light came on. I got 1350 miles and sometimes a lot less. Good luck guys 👍keep the channel going PS Ive bought older again LOL🤣

  • @charliegould5865
    @charliegould5865 2 года назад +4

    Why Swift decided to fit the drain valve there I just can’t understand. It in a really badly designed position right in the middle of the wheelbase so when you go over the slightest hump it’s hits the ground. Our van is an 8 metre Bessacarr so like yours it’s got quite a long wheel base, consequently once the wheels at one end go over any undulation in the ground the belly of the van is very low down, and the water valve is the lowest point. I’ve knocked ours of twice, and both times it was going over a very small hump. Rob and Lyn on tour have knocked theirs off as well.
    To stop me knocking it off again I’ve moved the valve, it’s now temporarily fixed to the chassis as far back as I could get it (limited by the length of available wire) I got some 28mm pipe and some elbow fittings, so now the drain comes out of the tank goes to the off side as before but now turns 90deg runs down the inside of the chassis to the valve. From the valve it continues down the inside of the chassis towards the waste drain pipe then turns through 90deg and comes out next to the waste pipe. At the moment everything is held on by cable ties, I’ve yet to make a couple of proper brackets and get the pipe runs levelled out a bit better to drain the water fully. What I might do is extend the cable for the valve and position it next to the waste water valve behind the rear wheel so then there’s no way it can ground out.

    If a new RV van , wheels spin out . There a bigger problem. 1 you may have to much weight in the van. 2 you have the wrong tires on for the van. Many RV sellers will out the cheapest tires on when you buy. Because they know you'll be back.
    3. You have packed the van wrong. To much weight not balanced. 4. Your trying to carry to much water with you. If you drain the tanks to just what you might need. You'll save of fuel, and the van will be lighter. Fill the water back up when you hook up.

    Hi Guys. Top video as usual thank you. SCRAPS! You triggered a memory there. When I was a lad back in early seventies I used to keep my dinner money for 'other things' than a healthy dinner, and get '2p' bag of scraps from the local chippie in Lowestoft! Yummy. The question is, am I a Northerner or a Southerner? My Mum came from Keithley in Yorkshire, my Dad from London, and I grew up in Lowestoft, Suffolk. Take care, and enjoy.

    We have just had the exact same think happen on our new Kontiki 794. This is clearly a design fault as the bracket is far too long. Water it now gushing out and we can’t fill it up. Did you find a fix for yours?

      Hi Philip. We are working with Swift to try and get a fix for this. In the meantime I have just temporarily bunged ours up so it will hold water

      @@RoamingRadfords Lowdhams have fixed the water leaking and secured the bracket, however I still think the bracket is too long and the problem will soon return the next time we go over a small hump back bridge; please let me know if you work out a long term solution with Swift. Other than this small issue the MH is lovely and we agree with you, the cab is wonderful.

      Hi Phillip, I believe they are planning to amend where this is fitted on some models going forward. We still just have ours bunged up but are hoping to get it sorted soon even if we have to do it ourselves

      @@RoamingRadfords Thanks Steve. We panic at every humped back bridge sign, I’d happily pay for a fix. I know you have strongly backed Swift but I’m afraid to say, it’s shocking that they haven’t sorted this.

    Good to see you out and about using the new van. Steve if it’s any consolation in all my years of owning a motorhome the only place I’ve struggled with the roads was Yorkshire about two months ago heading to the Will o nats pub some narrow lanes and steep inclines round that way. I fitted rear air to give an extra bit off lift been invaluable the extra lift comes in handy especially for getting on and off ferries. And I’m with young George you canny beat building dens.👍
