As a reasonably competent mechanic, I am planning on servicing the mechanical parts of our caravan (brakes, towing mech, steadies etc. myself, and getting a mobile mech. to complete the habitation checks. Do other people do this? On the face of it, it would save a lot of money and our local dealer also pointed out he was "always very busy", and expensive, A lot of the checks are very basic ie. tyre pressures, so why pay somebody to do this? Items like the fridge, toilet, heater etc. seem to be common user items and again relatively straightforward. Am I missing something apart from a very expensive stamp in a book? Thx Simon.
