Hi all -

We are down near Limerick. I've decided that the clunk on my front end is probably a ball joint & so I should not be driving much more on it.

Can someone suggest a mechanic around Limerick?

Thank you!
Matt

Hi fellas -

We'll give Cara a ring Monday. Thanks for that. No urgent need as we found a lovely spot off the craic map @ askeaton. Woke up and surrounded by cars for a swim Gala. Nobody seems bothered by us here. I did the best I could do and spotted to help others park around us. We won't be able to leave here for the day... no problems it's a great spot!

Thanks for the offer on a spot to stay Jetty.

Cheers-
Matt

I recently used Anchor point motorhomes in Birdhill for a problem with my awning (which has been scrapped unfortunately due to the damage caused to the bus as all 5 meters of it came flying off :whistle: ) I didn't post about the experience here at the time because I was absolutely blown away by the final bill which ran into multiples of thousands of euros. Now, I gave the guy a very loose rope and having not that long ago bought the RV I basically asked him to give it a once over in all areas and sort out my TV 's with some kind of Irish reception. There was no specific job list. There was a sour enough taste in my mouth at the time of collection. Over the next few days in the bus I realised just where his 30 hours at €52 an hour had gone and frankly how many things him and his team had actually fixed and sorted out - some of which may have been catastrophic in time.

Anyway, in a long winded way and after a long period of time taken to digest both the work and the bill, I couldn't recommend Anchorpoint more highly for service, quality of work & mechanical expertise ( on an odd ball yoke ). One thing I would suggest is that you specify the work you want done & keep the lines of communication very open while he has your machine! :up:

Well I met a mechanic in town and together we figured out the top of the strut was a bit loose. Tightened that up and everything seemed good today driving!

No sooner though did I cross an item off the camper to do list, a new item has appeared!

A visit to Cara for a might as well water ingress check found that there is indeed a leak in one of the front comers. A seam reseal for the alcove along the wall and roof joint is what is needed. So a new project or I just pay for it to be done.

Well it's a sunny day today at least, parked up along the start to the Shannon valley.

Thanks all for the help.

Matt
