**SWIFT 500 SERIES COOKER RECALL UPDATE**

Please see below updated Recall Notice from the ACCC & also updated letters from the Swift Appliance Group Website.

Cookers with the affected model numbers in the recall notice between 1 January 2019 & 31 May 2020 (inclusive) have been recalled - follow instructions under action required below in the recall notice. Please note only the model numbers listed in the notice are affected cookers so if your cooker model number isn't on the list or not in the time frame you are not part of the recall. Option RV have gone through our records and only 6 vans with the affected model numbers in the time frame are affected. These customers have already been contacted via phone and email and I will contact them again to make sure they follow the instructions for the action required. We do ask that customer double check their cookers model number and manufacture date to make sure we haven't missed anyone. Please note that all affected cookers have a electrical element.

Cookers Manufactured before 1 January 2019 are not subject to the recall - consumers can continue to use these cookers as per the instructions for use provided with the appliance. (You can now reinstall the front left burner control k**b and enjoy unrestricted use)

Cookers Manufactured after 1 June 2020 are not subject to the recall - consumers can continue to use these cookers as per the instructions for use provided with the appliance.

Thank you for your patience with us on this matter. Please make sure that your cookers are serviced every 2-3 years as advised by Swift Appliance Group in your owners manuals.

*Option RV Owners Group meet 2022 Lightning Ridge*

After being cancelled in 2020 & 2021 due to Covid The Option RV Owners Group meet finally went ahead in 2022 at Lightning Ridge.

A huge thank you to the Option RV Owners Group page Admin and our Leader Judy for organising this whole event. No words can describe how grateful we are to have you. Judy runs the owners group page and has organised all 4 of the Option RV Owners Group events. Without Judy none of the events would have been possible. She is truly amazing and we can’t thank her enough. We love you Judy! Also a big thank you to Dave and everyone else who helped Judy make this such an amazing and memorable event.

Well what can we say about Lightning Ridge, what an amazing experience and a beautiful place. From the chambers of the black hand mine tour, to the John Murray art gallery, car door tours, hot springs, lawn bowls and our favourite the pubs in the scrub it’s fair to say this town has so much to offer and see!

It was great to see old faces as well as a lot of new faces enjoying this event and making new friends and memories. Overall there were over 100 Option RV Caravans at the Ridge and gee do our owners know how to have a good time, Hawaiian night was spectacular and everyone looked nice and bright in their Hawaiian outfits. A big thank you to Mel & Susie for entertaining us all, they were amazing and had us all in stitches. Trivia night was a huge hit as always, a big thank you to Dave for organising such a fun night for all ages.

To sum up, the 2022 Option RV Owners Group Meet was a huge success and without fail we brought the rain with us once again. They don’t call us the Rainmakers for nothing. And of course out came the Option RV drink the good old 43 shots! What’s an Option RV owners meet without the 43. Thank you to everyone who attended and we hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as we did!

Once again a huge thank you to our group leader and organiser Judy for the countless hours organising this event, it hasn’t gone unnoticed and we are forever grateful. Also it is our 15th year in business manufacturing caravans this year and we want to thank our wonderful owners for the amazing cake, card and plaque that was organised and given to us at the event.

Cheers 🍻 can’t wait to see you all again next year!
