What do other F/timers do? (1 Viewer)

[Fletton]

Hi peeps...

I will have to take Moho back to dealership (Portsmouth) sometime in April for its annual damp check and some warranty work... so i'm expecting they will want van for more than one day...

No doubt the dealer will be expecting me to rock up and just leave the vehicle in a state suitable for them to work on etc...

As any immediate family live in Nth East Lincs.. I will be on my own down south - so to speak.

As I currently reside F/T and carry my life around with me...

I was wondering what other F/T folk do if having to have work done etc.. regarding:

Alt Accommodation..
Personsal stuff...
Other Junk in Moho cupboards, lockers and garage...
Fridge contents etc...

Any tips.. or advice

when we full timed our dealer - Don Amott- allowed us to reclaim the van each night, and stay in their overnight yard. Have you asked?

Is there an authorised service agent for your moho brand near to your family? - if so, they could undertake the work, it doesn't have to be your dealer.

Not asked as yet... and I obviously will.. as I did a similar overnighter at Autoglass when i had a new screen fitted in Leeds...

But just thought I'd ask you lot aswell

If it was just for the "check-up" from the "neck-up"... I'd consider that perhaps... that said... my plan was to then hop over the channel after... so being Sth isn't the issue...

I have never paid for alternative accommodation while work is done on the van.

I take personal stuff such as cash and iPad with me, rest stays in the van.

It would depend on what warranty work needed doing as to whether a locker or garage needed emptying for access. Other than that I wouldn't empty them.

I ask for the van to be kept on hook-up so that the fridge keeps running on electric. This has never been a problem.

I have also parked overnight on garage forecourts.

Depending on the warranty work so long as its not extensive there's no reason it couldn't be done in one day.

A couple of locker doors and decals, passenger seat cover and dinnette seat cover... and a few other odd bits i think!

Unlikely to do most of it on first visit as they will have to order the parts.

As you are going across the channel will be a lot cheaper to get the damp check done in Germany. Also would get a quicker turn around on parts if needed.

Our dealer gave us a car, and we went back in the evening and sleep in the van,
The only thing we found when went full time was they no longer give you credit and pop the bill in the post. You have to pay before you get your keys back.
So much for being a loyal customer. Bob.

They should be in-stock.. as the lockers where ID'd on my first annual viz.. and when I chased them later in the year - said they would fit at nxt annual... if I was ok with that...

I've since emailed pics of seats etc and have had confirmation email reply that they'd order ready for viz...

I will chase them in the next few weeks to confirm that stuff is (or will) be there on my arrival

as you have a Knaus (avatar) i guess its Southdowns youre visiting...
so, park up the night before just outside the sales showroom (leccy available) and then trundle the half mile round to the workshop at 8:00 and let them get on with it...
a nice stroll down to the sea front, brunch at one of the beach front cafes and theyll be ringing you to come back and collect....
hopefully all goes smoothly for you...
