The price includes a few other minor chips on the rear panel not shown in the photo. And includes a small crack on the front too where I motor moved the caravan into a wall. again low down and not causing any problems. Happy with the outcome and I know the two guys working on it as they have...

I agree. The worse Damage is at the bottom where it is causing no problems. The panel is all good otherwise and I am not kean for the panel to be removed and replaced. Some new panels don’t even have the window cut out.. Repairer can patch and resin the cracked section from the back out of...

Made it clearer. Both are for a replacement rear panel. They have only seen photo's as not easy taking the van all over northwest for quotes Quote 1 from one dealer; £4,1k based on photo's Quote 2 from another dealer; £4.4k Not cheap. I am just interested to know if a replacement panel is...

The quotes are for replacing with a new panel.

I have had two separate quotes both for a rear panel replacement and include VAT Quote 1 for £4,1k based on photo's Quote 2 is £4.4k

Hi All Just about to book the caravan in for a new rear panel. which isn't cheap. Before I do, I want to be sure this the right choice and would appreciate any help on two questions:- 1) Can this be repaired instead of a full panel replacement? 2) Is it GRP or ABS? Thanks

I have a feeling this may be the case for me. luckily, I can still use the caravan

Spoke to my insurers who said that there should be no problem accepting the cheque as the third party insurers have admitted liability and are therefore responsible for the full repair. They also said if additional work is discovered then a new quote would be required and the third party...

So my options are 1) accept the cheque from the third party insurers and trust the caravan garage does not deviate from their quote. I could chat to them about it beforehand. 2) push third party insurance to deal direct with my caravan dealer, but this looks unlikely 3) ask my caravan...

This was the reply to me asking them to deal direct with the dealer rather than send the cheque to me. To fair the third insurance company has been very good. Maybe they are calling my bluff as they rather it settled with me accepting the cheque. But as you point out that has risk for me...

This would be a lot easier. And saves me the worry if the final bill is more than the quote. I have emailed the insurers to say I prefer them to authorise the dealer direct rather than send me a cheque. Lets see what they say. I feel they just want it closed.

The third party driver's insurance company called me yesterday and said their client has claimed liability so once they have the quote they can approve and send me the payment. Nice to see this all being hassle free.

I had a car hit the back of the caravan and crack the rear panel. There are about 10 cracks in total if you include the hairline stress cracks. see photo's. It is a 2016 Swift Challenger My dealer has quoted for a new rear panel at c£4k Couple of things I could do with advice/views:- Can...

Thanks for the tips. Next time I hook up I will check the panel in idle and when revved.

Does this help. With the car engine running the LED's are as below.
