Arrrrrrrggggggggg!!!!!!!!!

Thats how I'm feeeling tonight have phoned 4 different mobile caravan service companies over the past two days and not one of them has got back to me. Its so frustrating we feel like we are in limbo with our van as we cant settle up with the previous owner until we've had a quote on what it will cost to put right the little bit of damp we've spotted at the back of one of the top lockers.

So if anyone knows of a RELIABLE company near to Notts that are mobile I'd be glad to hear from them!

What about your local caravan dealer?  Have you phoned them to see if they could fit yours in for a quote?  Guess the mobile servicer's are well busy if they aren't getting back to you :o

Good Luck on finding someone

I got mine serviced on Saturday but he was so busy that it was 5pm before he got to me and 7pm before he finished and headed home.

Still, I'm pleased it is done as we are heading off for a long weekend on Friday.

We use this guy, he is from Staffordshire but may well be worth a phone call to see if he would cover/travel to your area.

Why a mobile engineer?How are they going to repair a damp van outside your house?

Its a caravan on wheels,take to a company who can inspect it and give you an estimate.

You cannot expect a mobile engineer to start pulling cupboards etc out to find how far the damp has gone.

Robinsons of Chesterfield are good but not mobile, within easy reach of Nottingham shire just off junction 29 of the M1.

I agree that damp repairs are not normally in the demain of the Mobile guys unless there cause is obvious, such as a leaking pipe or roof vent. they make most of their money on servicing and emergancy call outs to sites.

There was a good Boston based guy we used recently who may travel to Nottingham at a cost, but hes not cheap, I think hes called AB Caravan repairs, and hes on the approved list link posted earlier on this thread.

They should at least get back to you out of courtesy and basic manners!

Thanks for all the replies.

I know its a busy time of year but agree with Micky that a basic call back is manners.

Andy- Not being funny but why can I not expect a mobile guy to pull out cupboards and stuff at my house? I'm not saying it might not need to go to a workshop for the actual work but I dont see why the inspection can not be done at home.

And to all those who suggested I take it somewhere. Yes I know it has wheels but this inspection is to agree a final price with the sellers (its a bit complicated) and I dont want to take responsibility of towing it anywhere until its mine.

Anyway we're sorted now, a guy from Rutland Caravans is coming out tomorrow

Oh and

Ubuntu1 I would noway expect a mobile person to come out for free to inspect and quote I'm more than happy to pay a call out fee as I can imagine a lot of people would misuse the free quote service if they gave one as a way of selling their van!!
