Hi everyone,

Has anyone had experience of water ingress tests need to benefit from the additional five year warranty for dampness on my new Troll? My dealer charges £150 for each test in addition to a £400 service. To benefit from the warranty, I have to pay out a total of £750 for the five years plus about £250 travel costs. In addition most places charge around £200 for a service which includes a dampness test. I am thinking that it is better to risk an expensive repair as there is a lowish probability on Eribas. If say there is 5% chance of a repair over £1000, that is a risk I am happy to accept.

many thanks

Stewart

Replying to Stewart’s post earlier (for some reason the reply button locks me out), I hand a full service including a habitation check, including under-sealing of the van, carried out by Knowepark Caravans near Falkirk in Scotland in March this year. It cost £246. Knowepark are Eriba dealers so the warranty on the van is preserved.

I use ALV at Tebay for a service & Damp check on our £2016 Troll and this year it cost us £250.

At the end of warranty but decided to have them do it again. I asked them to look at a couple of little things extra which was included in the price.

Will probably use them again next year as we combine it with a stay at Kendal C & C C site or C & M C Meathop Fell. We usually shoot over to the Cumbrian coast for the day whilst it is being serviced.

It works for us for now
