Caravan Servicing in Kent
Evening All,
I'm new to this caravanning lark (but enjoying it!) and wondered if anyone's got a mobile caravan servicing chap that they would recommend to service my twin axle Bailey in Kent? Now onto my second D3, alongside my fourth FFRR - I don't learn!

Is your van still in warranty? Be advised, up here our local dealers will service ANY van according to manufacturers spec BUT they will only carry out warranty work on vans they have sold!
I found this out after paying £220 for my TA Bailey to be serviced by a main dealer who told me the Heki roof light struts needed replaced but as I hadn't bought the van from them they wouldn't do the work!
As it is I just replaced them myself as I had bought the van from a dealer down south.
I then went on a rant to Bailey as it would appear the warranty wasn't worth much - to be fair they directed me to a 'close' authorised independent who will carry out a service and warranty work so alls well now
