Old guy brand new to camping in motorhomer - help

By the way, Morley is in West Yorkshire!

Which model is it? 

Try a google search.  I came across a couple of u tube clips but can’t play them so no idea what they contain

Colin, if you don't have a manual, you can get one from:

https://www.swiftgroup.co.uk/owners/handbooks

I think the earliest they do is 2000 but it will have some useful basic information such as how the water system works.

If you can't find anyone to help you, then you could buy this book:

https://www.vicarious-shop.com/products/haynes-motorcaravan-manual-3rd-edition

It was the 'go to' book by an eminent author when I started. Sign up to at least one forum - Motorhome Fun is the biggest; I think you have to pay a subscription. Motorhome Matters is free and is linked to the magazine MMM and comes under the "Out & AboutLive' banner. Both these web sites have some guidance for new motorhomers. There is also a Swift Owners Club.

If you go away to a site, you will probably find some kind motorhomer who will talk you through the basics. Just ask politely!

OP, I watched 4mins of it, it was a guy waxing lyrical about how good it was & trying to sell it, or so it seems, no rust, one careful owner, waxoyled throughout. . .yadayadayada. Not much help tbh😕. Youtube is a good source of info mind👍🏻

Usually fresh (clean) & grey (dirty) tanks are underneath the living area of the M’home.  Agree with Rocky 2 buckets googling questions & watching  utube videos will probably help you find info.  Generally if it is to stand unused for any significant  length of time especially in winter it is considered best to empty/drain down all water and then leave all taps open. Also means any heater & loo water.  Personally I feel it is good to take M’home out for a run now and again to keep the batteries/tyres/engine etc up together if not spending time away in it over winter.  Good luck & enjoy.  This may be of interest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpR3IhF3g88

 

There is a lot of information in the advice section at the top of this page, click on the "Advice and Training" title. You'll have to wade through various bits, some for caravans and some for motorhomes plus some that applies to both. In that area there is also a technical help phone line run by the club, the number is available to all. Good luck.
