Expensive repairs? (1 Viewer)

[Simon Meadwell]

Do these prices seem excessive? We think so.

We are not confident to do ourselves.

Supply and fit turbo vent. £450
Supply and fit 150w solar panel. £750
Supply and fit thermocouple to gas hob £70


Thanks

Get a breakdown of parts and labour, difficult to say, we used Johns Cross Motorhome service centre in the past, might pay to get a quote from them.

 

[Jaws]

Thermo couple is about £7 if you shop around... So they are quoting almost £70 for about 40 minutes work

Solar panel with decent regulator and all the fittings £300 absolute max ( search around and almost halve that ) so charging a minimum of £400 for two or three hours labour ( again that is a max time )

No idea about the turbo vent but looking at the other quotes proly WAY WAY OTT as well

Last week someone recommended a northern repair guy, I made sure @movan got the name so ask her or do a bit of searching.

[Stealaway]

Two hours to fit? £100? = £230 absolute max.

It might be worth trying Dave Newell. Sure to be a better price and Funster discount to boot.

Hi have tried to look for rhinoinstalls but no luck, any help please?

 

[Lenny HB]

I agree with @Jaws, the Turbo vent depends what model you are having fitted but if a Fiamma should only be a 2-3 hours labour so probably around £300 would be reasonable.

More midlands than north. Also while he carries out the work you can spend the day going round Blists Hill it's well worth a visit as well the other visitor attractions nearby.

Given that Eddie will fit a panel, controller and a battery master for under £500 [with funster discount], I'd say very pricey


Might be a distance - but you could combine it with a trip/holiday.
He'd probably do the turbo vent, not sure about the thermo couple.

This guy pops up a lot and gets some recommendations, Lancashire based.

and someone wanted Phil at Rhino..

As mentioned you have Dave Newall in Telford..

Prices quoted seem way over the top..

 

[garjanco]

yip deffo extortionate prices , get them quotes in.

 

[Charlie]

Dave Newel or Eddie at Vanbitz. Both very very highly recommended by everyone who has used them. Why go anywhere else ?

 

[GWAYGWAY]

I fitted my own 140 watt panel for £120 and a Schaude genuine plug in unit regulator for £60 so that is a fair saving. The thermocouple is about a tenner and easy to fit.
The fan unit is a bit of a bugger to get the wiring to unless they fitted the wiring standard in the factory.
