Hi all, how do you know your caravan you have just bought has been serviced before you collect it? Both myself & my friend bought a 2010 caravan from the same dealer. I bought mine in 2012 & my friend in 2014. Mine had a sticker on the draw bar "serviced
2012 & the name of the dealer." I had a fault with the fridge & the hob. Took it back & a guy from the repair shop said" that new socket in the wash room & the one under the van for external use is illegal. Hard wired". I said I have just bought it from you.
Oh when you bring it for a service we will rewire them with flexible cable. Needless to say I got it serviced by someone else. When he serviced it he told me that the large nuts holding the brake drums on had never been replaced(they should be replaced every
service). My friends fridge wasn't getting cold, he called a local mobile repairer who checked it out & a bodged repair & the wrong part had been fitted. My friend asked him to look at the fire as it squeeked as you walked past it! He took the front off the
fire & there where numerous sweet rappers inside the fire! So my conclusion is that this particular dealer is not doing the services before you buy. Neither I or my friend will not be buying from this outlet again.
