caravan mechanic requirments

[jerry_5094884]

i am made on caravanning and have recently completed extensive damp repair to my own van. Having enjoyed the project and completed it very successfully i was wondering what kind of requirment were required to become a qualified caravan technician. (p.s am already a qualified vehicle mechanic so am quite adept at pulling things apart and repairing them) also quite a good DIYer.

I don't think you need anything other than Gas fiiting and vehicle wireing skils , are you planning to set up in busines if so there are college cources to get a bit of paper that says you can.

Now Jerry, you sound has so you have a good head on you. With a few personal experiences and the tales on here about how dealers treat van problems.

If you are good with your hands and are also undrstanding and fair, I guess loads of Caravanners would want you doing work for them but I'm not sure if you would fit in with dealer requirements in a lot of cases ;-)

Good luck if though>

One thing I would say Jerry. these jobs are very satisfying on your own 'van. They're not so much fun when it's someone else's headache.
