Q: Why should I use a member of the Approved Workshop Scheme (AWS)?

A: If you have a caravan or motorhome that is still covered by the manufacturer's warranty to comply with most manufacturer's warranty conditions you must use either a member of the Approved Workshop Scheme (AWS) or a company Approved by the Manufacturer's warranty. Do not just assume you will be OK, always ask whether this is the case when booking.

Q: Will you be able to carry out warranty work?

A: Yes, we can carry out any warranty work on Bailey caravans. Also we can carry out warranty work on other makes of caravans provided that you have an agreement with your supplying dealer. We are also Dometic, Thetford, Truma, Alde & Whale approved for warranty work.

Q: How can I get hot water on my Alde system without having the heating on?

A: Set the desired temperature to well below the ambient on the digital control panel. Since the Alde 3010 Compact is a combi boiler, it heats both central heating fluid and hot water simultaneously. If the desired temperature is set 5 °C below the ambient on the digital control panel, the central heating will cut out— the heating fluid will not be circulated to the convectors and the living space will not be warmed. Hot water is still readily available and the central heating will still cut in if the ambient temperature drops below that desired.

Q: Why is there a charge for callout for warranty work?

Q: Can you service my caravan when I have an awning up?

A: We can service your caravan when you have an awning up except on odd occasions e.g. when there is decking also around the caravan.

Q: What preparation do I need to make before you service my caravan?

A: We do need reasonable access around the outside of your caravan (about 3 feet clearance all around the outside of the caravan) and we will also need the caravan to be on fairly level and solid ground. We do need a reasonable amount of space inside your caravan but you do not need to empty it out. We also need certain items to complete your service (water, water pump or inlet hose, 230v hook-up where possible, and service hand book). If your caravan is on a caravan site or in a storage area it is important that you inform the owners or wardens that you have arranged for us to service or repair your caravan.

A: We can replace windows, fridges, taps, basins, shower walls, add additional electrical sockets, replace the heat transfer fluid in Alde systems and do general repairs. If in doubt give us a call.

Q: Do you do any work on motorhomes?

A: We only cover the habitation part of a motorhome for both servicing and repairs.
