I could post Jim, but I suspect I may get a ban.
There are cowboys out there and they know they are cowboys and that's the problem, they simply play the smoke and mirrors and snake oil bullshit, what they don't realise is that one day their actions will kill someone.
They would NOT be allowed to undertake ANY work on your home, so why the hell we allow them near our motorhomes is beyond me, they are a walking taking time bomb, and the sooner we expose them the better. It may even save a life.

Perhaps!!!
And it is just Perhaps!! any tradesman? Kitchen fitter, Wardrobe fitter, Roofer, Chippy, Painter, Painter Decorator, Dry liner, Plumber ,Macnic WHATEVER!!! needs to be licenced?
In Aus, NSW, EVERY TRADDIE IS LICENCED BY THE STATE, I used to pay A$150 for mine per year, my mate a Roofer paid A$800 for his, as it covered Slate, Lead, tile, and Tin, SO? Why not here?
And Yes there were provisions to catch AND heavily fine those working on the Black, up to A$20,000
And think about the revenue for the Gov:thumb:
I disagree.
Controlled Area Network Bus Systems , or CAN bus ( there are many other data bus systems with differering protocols) simplify both the wiring harness AND diagnostics.
Here's a typical diagnostic process-
Fault- Box A won't talk to Box B.
Is the wiring broken? No, go to next stage. Yes, repair the wiring.
Does Box A talk to Box C? No, replace Box A. Yes, replace Box B.
Simples!:thumb:
Sure beats measuring countless analogue inputs and outputs!

Its more about safety, these Muppets go out and do this work and I doubt if they have the full training. They may talk the talk, but you cant go from carpet fitter to Motorhome engineer after a 6 hr training course.
I bet Tofo never managed to go and work on people gas boilers after [HI]4 hours training, [/HI]but we allow these UNQUALIFIED individuals to. It should be made illegal..
I think the HSE Excec approved ACOPS Gas course is a full week. Should it be longer?

I think the HSE Exec approved ACOPS Gas course is run over a full week. Should it be longer?

I have no idea, the best person to answer that one would be Tofo... He is the expert on gas,.

Going back to electrickery, when I was at work there was a team of qualified electricians whos sole purpose in life was to go round the site testing plugs and sockets. They had a device that they (for example) would plug into a socket and it would let them know if a fault was present.
Could this not be done as part of a hab check?
Meanwhile, If there are companies or individuals out there who are so incompetent that they are dangerous, then let's have the reviews of their shoddy work on the review site. If the companies are not already listed, just shout, we'll get them added. Keeping people guessing about these companies or individuals while implying they are or might be Funsters casts a shadow over fitters who maybe more than competent

Should have someone coming back to me today with the criteria for obtaining NCC approved Worksop Status:thumb:
Over the last two I have suffered some water creeping into the van, the place I have it services could not find the source.
I have also suffered from a failure of my fridge, well partially, the ignition light failed to go out, so I assumed that the fridge was not working when it was.
Suddenly my hot water and heater failed and upon investigation it was discovered the following ‘meltdown’ on my distribution board.
Not a new issue I hear you shout, indeed not, but having said that, the company who sold me the motorhome, a mobile engineer and a fully fledged dealer all failed to spot the issue. What was the issue I hear a lone voice from the back?
Well the issue was a simple one, the EHU hook-up connector was faulty, the heat from the said EHU connector then transferred the heat to the distribution board and that then caused the casing to melt. There was a lack of ANY protection on the 240v supply.
I suggest that as Funsters you check very carefully as to your electricity, as 240v running through the metallic frame of your bed is not an ideas that I would recommend.
Whilst on recommendations, I suggest that you chose who you allow to work on your pride and joy with great care. One week a self employed carpet fitter, next week a fully qualified Caravan and Motorhome certified engineer with suitable qualifications from some unknown organisation for Hull or Honduras.
In the motorhome industry I doubt if John Wayne came across as many cowboys, so be aware. My current problem could have easily fried ShiftZZ, so tale care out there.
With thanks to MB.
