Pre Purchase inspection

[Mustang]

Today I took Vincent to a caravan repair yard for a pre purchase inspection for a potential client. (The yard their choice)
All Ok but the front power point was reported as faulty & the fridge would not light on gas?

At home the fridge started immediately on gas & the power board ran a high wattage grinder, go figure?
Would the RCD immediately cut out with a 240v fault? one would think so.

I sent the potential client a phone video, but have not heard from him.

Some of the workers asked if I just towed it out from a barn find?

I would not go to this repairer for a repair!!!!!!!!!!!!

G'day Brent,

I gather the repairer didn't offer any more info about how they determined the power point was faulty? Did you install new ppts in the resto?

The fridge on gas is a mystery, hey?

Agree that it can be frustrating when you independently test the supposed faulty items and they work first go.

Hopefully you haven't lost a potential sale.

cheers,

Al.

Hi Al,
Any faulty appliance we have had (kettle toaster etc) in a van, the RCD throws the power off in a mili second.
The point/board is new & installed professionally, both my daughter & son in law are electricians.
Funny you mention a lost sale, that feeling crept over me immediately,you can see the client... HMMM faulty 240v & Gas.... I hope my video heals the doubt.
Cheers.
