Posted on 26/10/2020 11:47 by lornalou1So if i'm not mistaken you bought a 2016 caravan and had it serviced in February 2016 and not serviced since. Was you not aware of the warranty rules with caravans.

Agreed not a hanging offence but sounds as though the OP has not had his caravan serviced since purchase nearly 5 yrs ago. He maybe a competent mechanic but it really should be given a good service by a qualified engineer. Any damp warranty has now gone at the least.

Hence the last sentence of my post - "prepared and able".
Incidentally, any competent mechanic will be capable of servicing and repairing a caravan. It's not rocket science and the term 'qualified engineer' in respect of caravan servicing is laughed at by many.
You do obviously take your chances with damp by following the no servicing route.

I had an Eldis some years ago. The break linings came unglued from the brake shoes resulting in a hefty clump in the back under heavy braking. It also resulted in the caravan freewheeling down my drive and hitting the garage doors when I unhitched. When did they stop riveting brake linings on?
