⚡ WHEN FREE POWER ISN'T QUITE SO SIMPLE! ⚡

🔧 Another electrical challenge solved by Lakes Leisure Vehicle Services!

We've recently been working on a motorhome fitted with a Sargent EC500 electrical system and VTOMAN portable power stations.

The idea was simple – use the portable power stations to provide additional power and keep the motorhome's electrical system running.

Unfortunately, the Sargent system wasn't quite so keen on the idea! 😂

The electrical setup was experiencing issues, particularly when trying to use the power stations to recharge the system.

⚡ That's where our electrical fault-finding experience came in!

After investigating the installation, tracing the wiring and working through the electrical faults, we've now successfully rectified the issues and got everything operating as intended.

✅ Electrical faults investigated and rectified

✅ Power supply configuration addressed

✅ Sargent electrical system back in operation

✅ A practical solution for the customer's power requirements

Just because something provides 230V power doesn't mean every motorhome electrical system will automatically work with it!

Modern leisure vehicle electrics can be complicated, especially when combining existing onboard systems with portable power stations.

At Lakes Leisure Vehicle Services, we don't just replace parts and hope for the best. We investigate, diagnose and find solutions.

🔥 Is your Alde heating system due a fluid change?

The heating fluid in your caravan or motorhome doesn’t last forever. Over time, it can lose its protective properties, which is why changing it at the correct interval is an important part of looking after your Alde system.

A fresh fluid change helps to:
✓ Protect against internal corrosion
✓ Maintain efficient heating performance
✓ Protect expensive components
✓ Reduce the risk of unexpected problems
✓ Keep your heating system properly maintained

🔧 Alde Fluid Change Service — £286

Keep your heating system protected and ready for those colder adventures. 🚐✨

A fresh finish without the need for major bodywork. 🚐

This motorhome came into the workshop with a few noticeable marks and imperfections on the exterior panel.

Using our SMART paint repair process, we repaired and refinished the affected area, restoring a clean, smooth finish while keeping the repair localised.

We carry out SMART paint repairs on motorhomes and caravans, ideal for scuffs, scratches, minor damage and cosmetic imperfections.

I’m carrying this Rough Ashlar throughout Su***de Prevention Month to represent the weight that people can carry every day without anybody else knowing.

I’m doing it in memory of my brother Rob, who took his own, and because of my own personal experiences.

I’ll be chained to it for a full month, wherever I go, to get people talking about su***de and mental health.

Because sometimes simply asking someone “Are you really OK?” could save a life.

Its good to talk
