We bought our first M/Home recently from a dealer 60 miles away. We had no knowledge of where we could get work done locally,so,after two weekends away we asked the dealers to quote for a 2nd leisure battery and a 120watt solar panel to be fitted when we took the M/H in to have a few minor things sorted.Their quote was £930 which I felt was a touch 'salty'-but then, looking around online, seemed to be in the same ball park as many others.
Any way,I was going to our local bike shop the other day and saw a M/H being driven into a very small unit on the same estate-I went over and discovered Caravanmaster South Wales Ltd, I chatted to Byron the owner and got a quote of £500 for fitting 2 x 80 watt solar panels and he said I wouldn't need a 2nd leisure battery a saving of £430.
I've just come from there, where I was surprised to see that the controller was indicating a charge whilst indoors on a grey day with only a skylight in the roof above th M/H
(No,I didn't put a meter on it,so I don't know how much of a charge !!)
Byron is now fitting an external gas point for our Cadac and doing a quote for a Gaslow conversion for us-we may end up with a chassis mounted tank,thus freeing up the gas locker which will take the Cadac and a few other things.
It's a nice feeling to know that there is someone only 10 mins away who can do everything we'll ever need-only drawback is that he finishes early on Fridays to go to rallies
