I am new to caravans and just purchased a swift corniche 14 2 cheap for a starter van. It is missing the zig unit, what I would like to know is what is the purpose of the zig unit and what does it do. The only electrics I have in the van are the sockets when plugged into the mains there is no leisure battery connected. If I need a zig unit, where can I get one from and how do I wire it up all the wires seem to be there. Can it be bypassed to operate the lights, fridge, fire etc. Cheers Les
I had a look at the website but I would like to buy a secondhand zig control panel. Where would I find a wiring diagram for the swift corniche 14/2 serial no U847112,
This is the picture where the zig control panel is fitted it is 280m ( about 11in ) long and 80m ( about 3 1/4 in ) deep. It as got 3 green wires and 3 white wires on the left hand side and on the right there is a white mains cable from a fused switch, 2 red wires, 3 green wires, 1 white wire and a black cable fitted with a black plug with three pins.
As anybody got an idea what model number zig control panel should be fitted to this swift corniche 14 2 it is the one with the storage box that sits on the towing frame. I am not sure of the age of the van.
ring round caravan breakers or seek them out on ebay for a replacement unit , it would appear that someone has bypassed the unit and has wired it just for ehu . without the need for a leisure battery , if that suits you i would get the wiring checked for safetys sake , if you need to find the exact unit used , google the maker and model , if its not in the manual for the van ,there will be a forum group on that particular caravan somewhere ,,
heres a zig type unit out of a swift , may be worth asking the advertiser if its out of the same one as yours , or if he knows anything about them ,,

With those sizes I'd say you are looking for the zig 2000

They did however suffer from melting fuse holders
