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.

Thank you for your reply
 
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>
 
Jerry ,If you are realy interested in becoming a caravan mechanic go to caravan talk and ask Mr Sheens .He is a fully qualified caravan mechanic and a nice helpfull guy . Good luck

In the westmids there are many Tech Colleges, but nodout there will be some near where you live.

Let me know how you get on, there is a good market for srevicing, The guy that dose mine went mobile eight years ago and is never out of work.

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.
