Description
What is really inside a brand-new British caravan, and what happens when water finds its way in? Caravan mechanic Ciaran Doyle takes a modern tourer apart layer by layer, using the makers' cutaway drawings, National Caravan Council inspections and Financial Ombudsman decisions.
In this video: how Bailey's Alu-Tech, Swift's SMART and Elddis SoLiD bodies are built, why a "timberless" caravan still has plywood in the floor, the window, rooflight and roof strap seals, and the caravan written off over one front window.
Then the service windows that keep a 10-year water warranty alive, why some "10-year" warranties are really six, and the detail that got one owner his whole caravan refunded.
When did your caravan last have its service?
