When I took my six year old caravan in for service, last December, I mentioned that there was a problem with "shunting" and asked them to check the horizontal damper and brakes. The invoice for the service shows this, and that the brakes were adjusted. Since then we have had a short trip of around fifty miles and a longer one of around 1,600 miles. on the last day of the second trip the "shunting" started to happen again.
I booked the caravan in with the same dealer and took it there today. They found that the brake pads had worn to the extent that the drums were scored resulting in an expensive (£750) repair.
Should the dealer have replaced the brake pads at the service?
