I need to get my little sunseeker's breaks sorted out, and bearings looked at. Being new to this, do I take the 'van to a normal car mechanic?

I think it would be better to take it to a caravan dealer with a service centre. Caravan brakes are a bit different to car brakes.

 I would say if you know a cheap car mechanic that would be OK unless parts are needed. Caravan dealer would know more of where to get parts from
