Guest   #1 Posted August 27, 2007 hiya,  on the way to a wedding on saturday we got lost, hubby got stressed and reversed into a wall:rant:  the rear left hand door is dinted and the bumper is buggered.  Obviously being on maternity leave and having a little one means that cash is rather tight so I need to get the repairs done as cheeply as possible but not a botched job either;)  can anyone recommend a garage / person who could do this for us????  Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
TheRedWizard   10 #2 Posted August 27, 2007 Depends on what campervan it is and who it's made by. If it's a full coachbuilt and the damage is serious you'll have to head back to the manufacturer or dealershhip.  However, if it's a conversion and/or just superficial damage to standard parts that just head to a standard bodyshop, of which I'm guessing there are probably a few recommended on here. I'll go and have a look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Guest   #4 Posted August 27, 2007 its a fiat ducato van conversion about the size of a transit van. the parts (i presume) would be standard to that type of vehicle irrespective of whether its a campervan or not. Its just that the vehicle is heavier than a standard van (max gross weight is 3 tonnes) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
TheRedWizard   10 #5 Posted August 27, 2007 In which case you should be fine with a normal bodyshop. What model is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest   #6 Posted August 27, 2007 All I know is its a fiat ducato 2.3 jtb diesel - trigano tribute campervan.  here's a pic of it before it got damaged (when we rescued it from the sheffield floods) http://hitched.photobox.co.uk/album/4730457 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

BinStaff   10 #10 Posted August 28, 2007 hi I bought my camper from Wellhouse Motors in Huddersfield (they used to be next door to the deepcar place but they've now moved). They have a mechanic on site and may be able to help. Ask for David Elliot.  d.elliot@btinternet.com  x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
