Well the guy eventually arrived a little late with a big beaming smile on his face & a personality to match.
He was mega impressed with the build quality of the Skarosser & only found a couple of minor details for the moment.
Firstly, he advised me to replace the burner jet for the dometic fridge. As it is starting to rust a little & would only be a matter of time before it needs to be done.
Second, he has advised me to replace the Swedish gas regulator & immediate pipework with a UK approved Truma system. Although there's nothing wrong with the Swedish setup, he said that if it ever failed while we were away, then it would be a nightmare to repair / replace.
I quizzed him about Solar power, to which he said that a 100watt system would easily be enough for wilding & would come in at approx £500 including installation & vat.
The Alde heating system is working a treat & he couldn't believe how quick the camper can become cosy warm !!!
This initial visit was for him to carry out the basic checks for any gas leaks & the emissions from the heating & the fridge.
Now that he's happy "I'd let my kids sleep in here anytime". We're now going to proceed with a full habitation inspection.
He's taken photos of all the important parts / serial number that may need to be changed at any given moment ( normally the 2nd day of a trip far away
).
And he's going to start a file with all my details, photos etc etc.
He's not asked for any money yet, due to a return trip being required. He didn't want to carry out all the work on this visit, as he's seen some dubious demountables in the past & didn't want to put his name to something in a dire condition.
So.......so far, so good, touch wood & all that !!!
