Motorhome Habitation

A habitation report on a motorhome is carried out along the same lines as a caravan service however none of the base vehicle is checked as this is mostly covered under your MOT inspection or at the service. A motorhome habitation takes approximately 1.5 to 2.5hrs under normal circumstances and at the the end we will present you with a 4 page report and battery and gas test printouts.

A habitation covers all the major parts of the motorhome, briefly these are such things as: the 240v and 12v electrics (RCD, sockets, amp draw of the appliances etc), the gas system (leak and pressure tests, appliance flame failure, gas regulator and hose inspections etc), the water system (pumps, taps and pipes etc) and condition of inside and out (furniture, windows, roof lights, security of bonded items like solar panels etc). This isn’t the full list of things that are checked but it gives you a good indication of what we do on the day.

One thing I will urge all motorhome owners to do before we arrive, please put water in the system so we can check the pumps, pipes and taps. This is one of the things that we struggle with as we don’t always have water in the van.

Again what we can do inside the van depends on the amount of kit left inside, ideally we would still ask that the motorhome be emptied so we can do the damp report.
