Hi,
Very rookie caravanner! We bought second hand Bailey Scorpio Avergne 1993 last weekend, problem with left indicator but assumed bulb so bought it anyway.
We were hitched up and ready to go today for a weekend away and no towing lights at all... Local caravan repair looked at it and 12v fuses in board had melted, problem with connections to towing lights, tyres 14 yrs old... No, we diidn't think of checking any of these!
It is going in for a full service, all fuses needs replacing, work out why the lights aren't working, and get everything sorted. It looks like the van hasn't ever been serviced... Thinking about what the previous owners said they have overloaded everything 12 v wise with an inverter which might have caused the electrical issues... Also what about chassis issues?
Just trying to get an idea on cost to sort this out from anyone who has these sort of problems...
And no we didn't think of any of this as I said total rookies, but grateful for any advic e
