What are the qualifications required to be a Motorhome engineer etc.
I remember Jim was going to contact someone to find out...
I for one am confused, "The Approved Workshop Scheme is a joint enterprise between the National Caravan Council, The Caravan Club and The Camping and Caravan Club. It is the benchmark for motorhome and touring caravan servicing."
What training have they gone through, it all sound good, but in reality what is it?
I know Tofo was a fully trained Gas engineer, you dont get that from spending an afternoon in a classroom. PapaJohn is a fully trained electrical engineer, again, that's not something you get from a 1/2 day course in Hull.
Chris is a fully qualified solicitor, you do get that from spending large amount of time and money in pubs..
Seriously, we the punters are placing our lives in the hands of someone who may not really be qualified to change a bulb, but as always we trust them. I for one would like to know how well trained and qualified they are or are the 'qualifications' just pieces of usless junk they have bee given by some manufacturer for attending a course.
I wish i knew the answer, the moral is, anyone can and has set themselves up as a Motorhome Engineer, they may be very good and well meaning amateurs, they may we fully trained and professional, or they may well be a disaster waiting to happen, either destroy your van or worse still KILL YOU...
I suspect its time to change..
