hi 

please see attached photos of my bed is there anything i can do

steve

Looks like the plastic corner joints are broken

It appears from the photos that the back rail has been twisted, item(s) had been trapped between the moving part and the fixed under frame while the upper frame has been lowered. This has also damaged the plastic corner pieces. This may be repaired by replacing the plastic corners, how you do this you need to contact the dealer or Swift direct.

In addition the upper frame seems to be distorted to the left.  As the  frame is flexible it can be pushed to the right when closing. We had the same problem and to overcome it I fixed a small bracket to the righthand side of the lower frame to prevent movement.

so update contacted my local swift dealer they have said the brackets are no longer made but maybe some from a hymer MAY fit and at £12 each i am not wanting to take the chance that they MAY fit. so i am currently in the process of having some brackets made at work and will cut the corner brackets and install them will be stronger than std maybe a bit overkill but it wont brake will update once complete

cheers

well managed to fix this issue with some new brackets yes its a bit crude but it has worked a treat the top frame now sits nice on the lower frame i am chuffed to its as there will be no rolling into the middle of the bed and the wife is also happy its fixed 

the plastic corners weren't broken they are profiled to the inside of the extruded aluminium and they had twisted inside and had bent over hence why they looked broken

roll on the next trip in march

Well done, does the job and out of sight.

Very good that you got it fixed!

Our Fixed Bed rises when Towing.

Is Straps the best solution?
