Caravan and Motorhome Servicing Caravan & Motorhome Servicing

Regular servicing of your caravan or motorhome will pay off in the long run with greater reliability and improved resale value. But there are safety and legal issues too. Every vehicle or trailer is required by law to be in such a condition as not to cause danger to anyone. Some items you can easily check for yourself, such as tyres and lights, but the braking system and the electrical and gas items inside the habitation area are best left to experts if you are not to risk your safety or that of others.

Habitation Servicing Habitation servicing

Many people have never encountered the term "Motorhome Habitation Service" before, also called a habitation test.

Just think of a motorhome habitation service as being the motorhome equivalent of an MOT. We help check and maintain the functionality of all aspects of your motorhome that are used for living such as LPG, water and electricity. These items can be a safety issue if not checked periodically, and may also render your warranty invalid if not checked. Especially if the manufacturer has a list on the warranty which has a habitation service stipulated to be tested annually to ensure conditions are met.

The actual service isn't mandatory in a legal fashion (at the moment), but it would be foolhardy to drive around in a motorhome or campervan that doesn't have its annual habitation service, due to the number of issues that could arise if not inspected.

Electrical safety issues could arise which could prove dangerous, LPG leaks could occur that could prove dangerous (if not fatal), and water leaks could happen that could prove very expensive. So, you can see it's well worth the peace of mind if nothing else, to pay out annually for a check to detect or prevent any issues.

A common thought process is that I don't use my motorhome or caravan very often so, it's not worth paying for the test this isn't the case as the lack of use itself can cause issues too.
