Professionally fitted awning ?

03/06/2026

Camper van Jones booked in for an awning. Turned out to be an awning supply & install, fit replacement alloys & a health check on the 12v as the leisure battery didn't appear to be holding its charge.
Battery tested & replaced, charging well again. Got the van up on the ramp & fitted its smart new treads, then got stuck into the new awning which fitted into the already fitted multi rail.
A nice little job to get stuck into, an absolutely stunning & well cared for van thats owned by an equally nice fella.
Thank-you for trusting us with your pride & joy Paul.

Reach First Aid called in this morning, the passenger door was catching the front of the awning cassette. On inspection, it was found that a reputable conversion company had fitted what looked like a home made mounting kit. The weight of the awning wasn't spread across enough surface area & as a result the brackets have pulled through the roof & split the steel. What should have been a simple install is now an involved repair involving, welding, painting & the correct fitting kit.
We'll get it right for you Roger Pickering

Another chilled day off today. Campervan Yoggy popped in for a health check. We fitted his electrics last year but after Clare Schafer plugged in a kettle the size of a bungalow 🤣, they've lost use of the 240v socket. Little bit of testing & it was found that all is well apart from the actual socket had failed. I've never seen this before, but we replaced it & now they're ready for their summer adventures. Once we'd sorted that we needed to give one of own vans a little TLC, bottom ball joints & drop links replaced (thank-you UK potholes) then a quick internal valet & an exterior bath, ready for another busy week.

I thought I was having a day off, Roger from Reach First Aid called this morning, the van was making a grinding noise. Opened up for him, got it on the ramp & found the drivers side front wheel bearing had collapsed. New bearing sourced, stripped, replaced & back on the road the same day. Ready to hit the road again delivering invaluable first aid training across the UK.
A pleasure deal with as always, thank-you Roger.

Campervan Dolly popped in yesterday after feeling a little low on vitamin D.
Her solar panel had taken the knock & we couldn't get a replacement before her weekend away.
We've disconnected the failed panel, installed a set of extension leads & let her borrow one of our spare panels. She's feeling much better now with a little sunshine back in her life.
See you when you're new panel arrives Jayne Ann Moore

Day off today!
Travelled down to Faversham, Kent to keep Mark Wakefield company on a wheel shopping trip. Then returned home to another thoughtful gift from wifey Alex Bancroft.
