Repair manual for motor caravans and caravans

The manual titled Reparaturhandbuch für Caravans und Reisemobile (Repair manual for motor caravans and caravans), which was first published two decades ago, provides information and advice concerning leisure vehicle mechanical and body repair work, as well as price estimates and expert reports in respect to such repairs. This manual, which is used by experts, insurance companies, auto garages and body shops, is updated annually and has been available on CD ROM since 2005. Car garages and body shops benefit from the descriptions (provided in text and graphic form) concerning body repair techniques, information regarding electrical equipment and liquid gas systems, and labor time guidelines for various types of repairs. The extensive list of spare parts costs and labor time/costs are particularly useful for experts and insurance companies. The manual also provides a wealth of information concerning damage sustained by leisure vehicles, which are subject to different expert report and damage assessment procedures than for cars due to the completely different materials used in leisure vehicles.
