Easy access and very helpful tester. Gave loads of advice. The printout for the brake tests also showed the axle weight, very useful.

Contact your local council. They will test the biggest of RV's at thier yard and are usually VERY fair as because they are not allowed to do repair work for the public (only MOT test) they have no axe to grind.
I used Manchester city Councils Depot at Gorton monastery for 10 years without any probs. Only thing is, they only test by prior appointment.
