Hi - our 2018 Swift Challenger 560 has been great so far - bar a few minor hicups.

However with the state of our roads we are now finding the shower screen jumps out of the rail whilst traveling and is very difficult to get back. We have wedged blocks of sponge above the wheels in the track but to no avail. Any ideas before I ditch it and try putting a curtain up instead ?

Break a wooden clothes peg in half which will then give you two small wedges which you may be able to jam the wheels with.

Failing that avoid potholes and don't bounce over the kerbs on the corners

The easy way to get it back on the rail is to screw the handle off and then the door will recess right back allowing you to simply slide the wheels back on.

Thanks - will try wedges and/or pegs (I have wooden ones in the caravan) - on the other issue avoiding pot holes is not easy - this latest lousy road surface was on the A49/A44 going down to Leominster - not a road I would recomend
