Can anyone recommend someone to service a folding camper in Nottingham?

I would like to get the trailer brakes etc checked out before the start of the new season.

Many thanks,

Can I suggest that you do it yourself, only a basic tool kit is required, it is simple to do and you will save yourself some money.

We have tried JR at Lambley. Unfortunately they only do servicing in Leicester.

We will try local garages, but I was hoping for someone with trailer experience.

Thanks,

Try CR&S in Derby. They serviced our caravan and are fantactic. Extremely helpful and professional. They also collected and dropped off the van. I'm sure they would do an FC if you asked.

I called in at south yorkshire caravans in bawtry and they qouted £160 for a service on a pennine pathfinder, is that the going rate? Thats a lot of money to me so I think I will buy a haynes book on how to service and do it my self.

Well, I can now report back on our experience with the trailerdoctor.

Shaun is a really nice bloke and has done us proud. He has serviced the trailer, given it a thourough inspection, replaced a cracked light lense, worn breakway cable and a leaky corroded plug on our FC. It was a hassle free experience and a reasonable prices.

Great service too, i dropped it off this morning and we have just picked it back up.

In fact we are in such a good mood now, that we are going away for the night in it !

I can highly recommend that if you have a TT,FC, Caravan, or any type of trailer, Shaun is your man !!!
