camper repairs

[tony]

i contacted 3 different people who do work on campers to get a job done.
one is booked up completely for the next 12 months.
the other two are to busy with complete conversions to do anything else.
this must be to do with the extra campers on the road due to the pandemic.

That sounds like a job for Trevor, he keeps telling us how good he is. It’s not like he’s working.

He lives a long way from me, tony and I was talking about not being able to get any tradesmen these days and those who can do are up to their necks in work, if I were young again I think I could make a killing on jobs.

Motorhoming is turning into a DIY hobby. If you cannot fix it yourself you just have to put up with it. It's going to get worse as more and mor people want jobs doing. On the Bailey forum they are complaining about screws missing and having to go back to the Dealers.

When you think about it if a Dealer can fit an air on unit it cannot be to difficult to remove.

Just looking around on Google, it would appear that there are air con units which require a 400x400mm aperture. If this is the case with yours it would probably be an easy(ish) job to remove the air con unit and 400x400mm skylights are readily available as well as other sizes.

It may turn out that half of the work has already been done for you.

A boat hatch rob would be good, seen a few nice tinted ones in my day, handy as you could fit an ejector seat under it for the misses when they say I do need to go shopping.

Not flimsy either Trev, as you know some are built to walk on.

400x 400. I don't think so

I can get through the 400x400 skylight over the bed okay, just need one arm through first

 

[rugbyken]

with a fire tickling my toes i could probably make it through a skylight be like molly my setter going through the daughters cat flap

Unless it's a PVC I doubt you would need a roof hatch on your average coach built in a on its side situation....

I can still remember an accident with the driver just sat in the drivers seat surrounded my match wood and devastation.
