Further to my brake problems can anyone recommend a mobile caravan engineer near to St Helens Merseyside. The only one in the phone book cannot come out before next Thursday. We were just about to leave for holidays.
Thanks I did see that website but I was a little suspicious of a site that claims to train caravan technicians in 5 days. I have now been put in touch with a guy who works for a local dealers and he is coming to have a look Monday evening. Fortunately we can reschedule holiday for later - all being well.
"As a suggestion, rather than tracking down a caravan mechanic, is there an organisation that sells/maintains trailers local to you? An ALKO chassis is an ALKO chassis whether it is has a trailer or a caravan on it. So, trailer or caravan, it is the same to them."
I have been put, via another caravan website, with a caravan technician who works for a local company and he is coming out to sort out the problem on Monday evening.
We are fortunate in being able to reschedule our hols with a later start and later return.
Five days? it took me five years!!, I told my lad whose a sparky about this and he said I know... we call them 'boil in the bag' merchants!! LOL
Truth is it depends on their background, a decent car mechanic will get bored in five days as he'll pick things up very quickly, someone with no previous experience won't have a chance of learning anything worthwhile in such a short time.
As always recommendation is the key, anyone thats any good will have plenty of satisfied customers
