Hi i've recently purchased my first caravan, a 1991 Swift Challenger 510/4, unfortunately the caravan came without a manual. Does anyone know how I can get hold of a manual as being new to the game some of the systems within the van look a like daunting. Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi Andy

Having had a couple of vans made by Swift Group, I would say that there wouldn't have been one single manual for your van.

Its more likely that there was a collection of manuals - e.g. one for any heater, fridge, water filter, oven, toilet etc, depending on what your van has fitted.  There would also have been an owners manual too, but that is likely to have been very general - care and warranty details. 

You may have some luck by looking for the model names and numbers on your fitted appliances etc, and then Googling for those.  You could also get some help from the manufacturers themselves, although be aware that the maker's names have changed.  e.g. Crystal Water Filters would be Truma nowadays.

You might find a Carver (heater) manual for your van here

Swift Group do have some manuals/handbooks on their website - but only going back to 2000 - I don't suppose they had electronic versions before that!

Enjoy your van and good luck.
