Hi,
I’ve just got a new Swift Voyager and I’m somewhat confused. In the gas locker 2 bottles can be secured in place, for each bottle there are 3 hard plastic ‘L’ shaped tabs placed 120 degrees apart for the base of the bottle to sit within and therefore stop the bottle from sliding around (at least that’s my opinion). The tabs from each bottle are sited to allow for a small and larger size bottle diameter. The dealer I bought from supplied a small bottle (6 or 7kg size) and sat it in the location for the small size and yet it didn’t fit within the tabs; however, he strapped it in a way that it sat on top of the tabs. I questioned this as it seemed illogical. The bottle had a tendency to rock a little and the paint of the new bottle was being ground off by rounded screw heads that protruded from the base of each tab. I have now moved the bottle to the larger bottle space and it sits fine within the available space (although there’s a gap between the outside edge of the bottle and each tab).
There’s no way a bottle of 6kg size will fit within the space of the smaller bottle location. Does anyone have an answer as to why Swift might have done this? Are the bottles really meant to sit on top of the tabs where they can grind against the screw heads?
I’m wondering if I should just unscrew the tabs myself and reseat them to accommodate the gas bottle’s diameter, however, I’m cautious of doing this without seeking advice first…
Thank you for any help you may have…
Pete.
