I feel for you & know exactly how you feel. I decided that its not worth the grief, sold my previous van on (declaring the faults) & gone back to tenting. Easier all round imo

Don't be too disheartened! Damp can be resolved if caught early enough - have a look at the fix it club members directory (posted by Pipa Pip) under the caravan/repairs forum and you can see that even some of the most frightening cases of damp can be resolved.
I assumed you had an older van. I would be absolutely livid if i had a van suffering damp within 3years of towing off the forecourt. I wish you luck sorting it

we only bought it in feb
and what they didnt tell us was that it had missed its first service so the 6 year ( i think ) ingress warranty is invalid grr
That can be challenged regardless as to whether or not it was serviced, that would not in any way affect it getting damp. If this becomes an issue let me know as I can offer you some very good advice from experience that may help your situation, but it will need to be done off forum. I am sure that admin will be happy to pass on email addresses if required.

I don't think Swift monitor this forum but they certainly do with Caravan Talk. Ask on the Swift Forum there and you will get a reply by return. You can PM them direct. I, and others, have fantastic service from them.
Sorry mention another forum here but it will help the above problem.
