Swift Caravan/ scratch on wood inside

Have you scratched the door or was it like it when you picked it up? If the latter get it replaced under warranty.  Sorry can't help with touch up but rubbing 'proper' wood with a walnut will disguise scratches. 

There is a product called "Rustins scratch cover" which comes in ,dark ,medium and light , that may cover up the scratch ,most good hardware shops sell it , (we do)

If you accept there will be a cost (no idea how much) abd if the door is 'real wood' and not MFC (melamine faced chipboard) try a french polisher 

I don’t think that you’ll find any chipboard in current caravans, it’s far too heavy. Most panels are created with an ‘egg box’ type core for lightness. The plastic skins tend to be wood free too, which gives an excellent look but intrinsic frailties. Real wood tends to be restricted to edge mouldings and frames.

try these from amazon.

Jenny, in our 2014 Affinity all of the furniture cacassing is made from generally 12mm chipboard which can be manufactured to various densities and so different weights.

With the lockers doors, I can only make the observation that based on having all of them replaced when the van was new, where the hinge holes have been drilled the area is indeed chipboard. also made from chipboard tho the toilet door is as you say made of 'egg box' constructed panels.

That’s an amazing claim when the vast majority of caravan internal doors and cupboard doors are made in the same factory in Italy. Furthermore, many manufacturers are claiming wood free construction as a benefit because of its resistance to moisture. For well over a decade, ultra light plywood was used for panels. Typically today panels are framed in lightweight softwood, to cope with hinge screws with egg box infills. Chipboard is enormously heavy as you’ll find if you ever try lifting a sheet - but it’s cheap and is extensively used in static caravans, which cost little more than their much smaller cousins, touring caravans, for the very good reason that they are cheap to construct. While I recognise your understanding, it’s very much at odds with current technology and industry efforts to maximise volume with a low weight penalty.

In terms of strength the pecking order for sheet construction materials is, chipboard = weekest, MDF = better, plywood = good, and to many people’s surprise OSB = best.

Trini, I’ve just looked this up, so I’ll leave you to consider what’s being said.
