hi and welcome to the fun from your reply you obviously would know what you are talking about however, a gas leak will result in a smell anyone could detect and an empty bottle. Providing the fridge and fire burn with a blue (not yellow) flame and both work then ok Emmisions are vented outside of the motorhome and the carbon monoxide detector inside would soon go off if emisions were bad and somehow leaking into the van. A damp detector is only a few quid off of ebay but your eyes and nose are probablly a better indicator. If you are unsure then by all means go for a check it will be around £100 for less than an hours work and some checks are more thorough than others. For an initial purchase of a secondhand van it could be a good idea to uncover and hidden problem whilst you have time and warrenty to get them fixed. There are a number of excellent engineers that are members of this forum, Dave Newell, Dave Evans, CLS (mobile), Ash (mobile) etc all of whom wiill carry out a full and proper inspection/service. They are all registered TRADE members.I am quite suprised when people say they can do it themselves. How do you pressure test the gas system to check for leaks without special equipment? likewise how can you check the gas emissions coming from say your fridge without the analiser?

Just recieved a letter from Lowdhams asking me to book a habitation check since it will be due one in March. Further down the page it quotes " We would ideally like the vehicle for 7 days to give us flexibility in our work schedule" They must be living in another world ! 7 days for a check that takes approx 1 hour I don't thinks so.
We had the first free check with Lowdhams, ever after we use a qualified mobile engineer who comes to us does the check, fixes anything we need doing, orders parts if needed and is cheaper than the the dealer, No contest.
We live in the Harrogate area but the engineer is from West Yorks...Mathew Bell,Don't suppose he lives near the York area??
