Colin, this is useful to know as I paid £360 to Lowdhams lasy year for my warranty service inc Hymer water ingress. I didn't buy it from Lowdhams though so I'll ask them if they'll do the same deal on my 542 for me?

Colin (Eriba 542)

The other Lowdham's branch is 'Uddersfield Colin, not Sheffield. A bit further north in West, rather than South Yarkshire.

The last two annual services on my white wobbly have cost £160 each using an Approved Workshop mobile guy. That fulfilled the Bailey Warranty conditions and the guy earned his crust in really freezing weather.

Hi, I've just set up a service plan with Lowdhams, Notts, thank you Colin. I had my 542 serviced by Lowdhams last year and was shocked @ the £315 cost, so this saving is well appreciated.

Good post.

Colin

For those of us with older vans or no contract what sort of price should we be paying for an annual service from a non specialist (bit to far to travel to the various Eriba dealerships).

Thanks Pepe, I didn’t realise you could have a chassis only service, like you I reckon I could deal with the other stuff. I was quoted £220 for a full service, sans parts, by caravan “garage” who is more used to WWBs so I’ll follow the links as you suggest.

Thanks Colin, your reply came aaas. I was typing!

When I had the Trolls I had them serviced by an AWS mobile guy and he charged £130/£140 over 20010 to 2013.

I had the Bailey serviced by an AWS guy last November and he charged £160. Despite them looking so different, to an AWS guy virtually everything on an Eriba is the same as a WWB.

I had local mobile engineer complete a full service on my Troll last year and it included replacing the brake pads (which I already had) He was working on van for about 6 hours (including lunch) and it cost £147. Not bad methinks

I had my Triton 430 serviced at AL last week with an external power socket also fitted. The total (incl VAT) was £427. They have done a very good job fitting the external socket but I have to take their word for what they carried out service wise. The invoice just says "Full service". When using other service providers I have received a comprehensive list of all checks carried with boxes duly ticked and comments on tyre and brake pad wear as well as other observations/advice.

I have no reason to doubt the quality of AL's service but I do think they should be providing more than a simple invoice. A friend who also had his 540 serviced last week received the same as me. The servicing manager was off last week but I will send an email this week and see what their response is.

like Colin I have a service plan with Lowdhams Huddersfield, the plan fixes the price for the predetermined time span with an extra discount for taking out the long term plan.

My payments are £19.99 a month until 2021. £238.95p a year.

Plus I can bail out at any time and recoup any outstanding monies.
