A motorhome habitation service is a thorough check of the living area of a motorhome or caravan to ensure everything is safe, functional, and in good condition. Here’s what it includes:

1. Damp Check

• Moisture levels are checked to detect any potential water ingress, which can lead to costly repairs if untreated.

2. Gas System Inspection

• Gas appliances (like the stove, oven, and heater) are checked for safety and proper function.
• Gas hoses, connections, and ventilation are examined to ensure there are no leaks and the system is operating safely.

3. Electrical System Check

• Both 12V and 240V systems are inspected, including lights, sockets, and appliances.
• Battery condition and charging systems are tested to confirm they’re working well.

4. Water System Check

• The plumbing system, including the water pump, taps, shower, and waste pipes, is inspected for leaks and blockages.
• Water tanks are also checked to ensure they’re in good condition.

5. Appliance Functionality

• Key appliances like the fridge, cooker, and heating system are tested to make sure they’re functioning as they should.

6. Ventilation and Fire Safety

• Windows, skylights, and ventilation points are inspected to confirm they are in good condition and meet safety requirements.
• Fire safety equipment, such as smoke alarms and fire extinguishers, are checked to ensure they’re up to date and functional.

7. Bodywork and Seals Inspection

• The seals around windows, doors, and roof lights are checked for wear and tear, which helps to prevent water leaks.
• Exterior bodywork may be inspected for damage or signs of wear.

8. General Interior Condition

• The condition of furnishings, fixtures, and fittings inside the living area is assessed for any damage or needed maintenance.

A habitation service is generally recommended annually to maintain the safety and functionality of your motorhome or caravan and to keep the manufacturers warranty current
