I'll be honest - we have never had one. We bought out 2001 VW Calypso Compass nearlytwo years ago with just 18000 miles on the clock and with little use. We took it to Portugal just 18 months ago and had no real bother.
We are abot to embark ona 6-8 month trip to France/Spain/Portugal/Italy etc so thought that a check over wouldbe a good idea. I popped intour local place and they want £165 for a 'habitation' service' !! Am I wrong or os that a lot on money ??
We just wnat someone to check over the fridge/cooker/water heater/electrics - I'm not interested in someone telling me that the seals around the windows are 'fine' and likewise the rooflight and similar 'doesnt leak'
Have any of you any recommendations for something more reasonable??

I used CLS last year and was very pleased with them.Mark is a member on here and has a good reputation and I will be using him again this year.
They are based in the W. Midlands but are a mobile service,he may travel to you if there is a couple of jobs in the same area,a full habitation service is £95 +vat with a written report.

When Warrington(Woolston) Caravans in Sankey packed up we were delighted when their ace fitter Anthony went independent and mobile. He recently did a quick repair on a water leak from the fresh water storage system for me on our drive - excellent service.
Anthony's mobile is: 07709 818382
Incidentally he does all base vehicle and habitation bodywork stuff too, including 'damp' repairs, and is a fully qualified mechanic so he can do base vehicle services and repairs too. He will be doing both vehicle and habitation services for me in a couple of months plus MOT and changing front disc pads (I hope thats all!)
I use a guy from the Wirral, cost me £69 last year, very thorough, he trades as 'Mobile Caravan Services', name Dave Turner, mobile number 07523 355773. I know he covers North Wales, and parts of Cheshire.
A1 Mobile Caravan Services, Warrington (also called Anthony different mobile number to above 07811732367) Office 01925 451513 are NCC etc approved and use by a few people on here. He has a website
www.a1mobilecaravanservices.com which details some of the bodywork he has done, also electrics and the usual fitting stuff like panels and bike racks.
Did our habitation service yesterday
ps: morning Paul
