Hi All

Well where do I start I took my vehicle to Mick at SAP due to having such an appalling job done by another company when I had my E&P self levelling system fitted and I wanted it checking out.

Mick said he had never seen such a poor job Mick refitted the system correctly and I now have all thepipes running outide the vehicle where as before I had about 8 ft of hydraulic lines running under my bed operating at nearly 200 bar and which had joins in them so imagine the mess if I had had a leak.

The detail SAP went to was superb all my levelling jacks are now fully under sealed where before they were just left painted so after time would have started to rust, all the hydraulic lines are now correctly insulated around the exhaust and engine areas where heat could cause a problem.

I went to Mick after reading great reviews on here from his customers and I am so glad I did as I now feel everything is correct and as it should be.

If you are thinking of having any work done on your MH give them a call they do all sorts of work and whilst they had my vehicle in I had a 150w solar panel installed on the roof and a sog system fitted to my toilet again the work is faultless.

Thanks to all at SAP

Cheers LB

I'm contemplating E&P plus Full VB air, for my benefit as well as others in a similar situation, could you please name the original fitters?

To fit e&p you have to show competence by the maker's, which if your fitters didnt, head office needs to be advised.

I had mine done by SAP and would have been one of the many rave reviews you might have read.

I am intrigued about where you stand on the cost of the refit, hopefully the original fitters will be to forced to pay the extra by E & P when they find out.

Bad service stinks, shoddy work should be criminalised , really glad to see you we sorted now

Had a similar Problem with an exhaust System fitted by another garage. Took it back, they just fiddled.
Took it to ELITE MOTORS, Druids Lane Pool , they found the wrong downpipe was fitted, only 1 clamp was fitted between the downpipe and manifold instead of 2. The Exhaust underneath had burnt a hole in the waste water tank. The hole thing had to be dissembled and refitted, and the Exhaust sealing ring (manifold/downpipe) was the wrong one. Also had a full service, and a couple of things checked, £515
It was a totally different van I drove home, really pleased with it now.

Dont want to keep going down the road of who fitted it YES it was Conrad Anderson there is a thread on here about the poor job

This thread is to let others know that if you use SAP as I was advised to do by many on here after I had originally had it fitted then you will have a top class job done by professionals

I did speak to E & P head office and they were not interested in the slightest and told me to take it up with the individual franchise that fitted it, what a joke I am just glad it is all sorted now and I can enjoy my MH as I want to.

Not exactly a glowing recommendation of E&P as a company then if that was their attitude when you approached them!

I was originally going to get mine fitted by Conrad Anderson but decided against it purely on the recommendations on here, so glad i did as i have had a few niggles one being at the weekend just gone where the remote just died. Quick call to Mick on Sat morning and all sorted with a new remote being sent out asap. Top class service and i for one will be going back if i need anything else fitted even though they are a good 5 hours away from me. :) recommended.

I agree but too be honest I went to a E&P authorised agent so expected a top class job from them and I had not heard any bad re views about them.

I forgot to update this thread a while ago so will do it now.

I spoke to the head man of E&P at he nec show 2018 and he knew nothing about my situation. He was absolutely brilliant and took all the details of what had happened and said he would look I to it. A few weeks later I had a phone call of Conrad Anderson asking me what the cost to me was for Mick at SAP to correct the job I told them and they becs paid me the full amount the next day so after all I was not out of pocket.

This was all down to the head chap at E&P getting involved and sorting it all out for me which put my mind at rest about the commitment of E&P as a company

I think Mick at SAP ends up sorting a lot of other installers crap efforts out. E&P always used him for the more complicated jobs, but now E&P is Alco owned, Ive no idea.

I drove 300 miles to them to have mine fitted, and stayed there overnight going to York and Doncaster by the local train in the day.
