As anyone any knowledge of the reported issues with some 2011 caravans made by Swift group being made with the wrong size floor to side tolerances at the rear?

we have a 2011 model that  has had damp in bedroom repaired twice and is still present.

Swift refer to it as "the scare".

    Not heard of that and if it was a problem I am sure it would have been on all the forums.

    A number of 2011 vans certainly suffered damp problems and dealers are well aware, and which caused many, including mine, to be returned to the factory for rectification. Searches will reveal references to this. It appears that the side skirts have to be
    replaced, plus rectification of any damage behind them

    I have a 2011 Sterling Solitaire and on its first service I was told a damp problem was present in the rear of the van I must admit I could not believe it as nothing was apparent to me, and the van is always stored undercover, however they supposedly repaired
    it and so far no further problems.
