Hi,

I have a TEC Tour caravan and have called a couple of servicing companies but unfortunately they don't do German makes.

Does anyone have any idea if there are any such dealers/service workshops in Hampshire, Berkshire or even Surrey ?

Cheers
Belfast

It seems a bit odd, servicing German caravans is no different from servicing UK built 'vans. The Chassis & interior equipment are all the same makes. You would probably be better using a mobile service person with the added advantage that you can watch them at work to ensure they do a proper job.

Might be easier to suggest someone if you tell us who you have tried already.

At this time of yr many caravan workshops are booked solid for 2mnths or more so it might be just an excuse to put you off if they don't want to take any more bookings. If the 'van is running ok it might be an idea to leave servicing to later in year.

Alternatively try a trailer workshop. They will be able to service running gear which is what you want for reliable tow & cost is much less than full service by caravan workshop. Many owners do this anyway. Pay for a chassis service & check interior themselves on an ongoing basis.

i have been recommended by two clients to try mobile technician "Boris" on 07981 525 886 of Hampshire County Caravans, to service my Hymer.
So far I personally have not tried him having done my own servicing for decades, but my age is now working against me!
Please tell us how you get on and performance rating. Those recommending him to me were both very impressed.
