Camper repair

Firstly can’t do diy!! Anyone recommend someone in cork good at camper repairs? Thanks

Anybody had work done recently by mitchelstown campers? Seems to have been taken over a few months ago??

Folks at camper world just installed my roof rack, they did a good job.

Only down side was putting up with their personalities, I think in my case because they're not fans of the Rollerteam vans and the old man spent a good 10' telling me how shite my van was. The other guy that seems to be in charge now he eventually realized that I wasn't too impressed with their tune so eventually he focused on the task at hand and again, he did a good job with a quick turn around.

My wife wanted to walk away, I'm a bit more thick skinned and there's unfortunately no other options around, but if I had other options I most likely woy have walked away.

So yeah, hopefully you don't have a rollerteam van and have one that they like better or willing to put up with their attitude...

How in hell do these guys manage to get customers with that attitude????????......Incredible

I got some solar and other stuff done in Oct there by leisure tech, no messing, no talking for hours, professional, job done, drive away that’s it simple

Rami, for every person dispousing your Roller team van , you will find another extolling it’s virtues. Had that have been me; I would have said, I’m asking you to fit a roof rack, not a running commentary as to why you find them too difficult for your capabilities to work upon.

Yes, they will call a spade a spade but apart from that, they have a reputation for doing quality work which you can have confidence in.
They also seem to know the reputations of the various marques and models and will speak honestly. It is unfortunate if you happen to be the owner of a mh which might not have the best reputation for build quality.
A good friend of mine avoided spending €35k on a mh he and his wife thought ticked all the boxes which after a check over by one of the staff in Camping World was found to have bad water ingress issues, issues which the particular model was known for.
My personal experience is good in that they identified and sorted a serious problem on my mh which was missed by a more 'polished' operation.

Ah right... yeah, that's definitely not an option for me then, I thought it was a spot in Cork.



Well... camper world is definitely a "polished" operation

In my case, after talking all that shite not only about the brand but about my van and how much problems it was going to give me, the feedback after the work was done was that my MH was in fantastic shape so, why spend 20' before that talking sh*t about my van in the first place when you don't know it.

It would have been more understandable if I was asking them for advice to buy or fair enough if you don't want to work on certain brands, but to put my pride and joy down (without even really looking at it) just because, I don't see the point.



100% agreed.

Like mine, there are probably some that won't have the same issues. Perhaps different construction runs or different assembly lines or teams.
I do feel your pain having your pride and joy falsely accused but isn't it good that it got a clean bill of health by a sceptic.

I brought my motorhome to Camper World in Midleton with damp issues September last year. He had a good look and pointed out another damp spot that I hadn't seen. He gave me a price range and hoped it would come somewhere near the middle but it would not exceed the maximum price he had given me. I left the van with him the following week and checked in by phone now and then. I went down to visit once because as he said it's easier to show me rather than trying to explain over the phone. As it turned out the damage was a lot more extensive than he had estimated and involved a lot more work. To make matters worse my Hobby 600 was put together never to be taken apart, it took them the best part of a day just to get the back bumper off. They cut out all the damp timber and replaced it and finished off with a nice stainless "skirting board" in the garage. The work they did was excellent and I'd have no hesitation bringing my pride and joy back to them for further work if necessary, but he did say that after working on mine he wouldn't take in another Hobby. The only minor downside was that I did all the phone contacting, it would have been nice to get the odd progress report from him. He said that he should have taken more time to examine the damage when I first brought it in but that was his mistake and not mine. He was therefore sticking to the maximum price he had given me even though they had spent a lot more time on it.

LOL

Maybe someone should let him know what if all vehicles were perfect with no issues, he wouldn't have a job, right?

Again, I'll clarify that the old man was the worst... he seems to own the place but the other guy is the one that actually manages it and does the work and he wasn't as bad. Still, not the best customer focus approach.
