Habitation Service (1 Viewer)

How often does a Motorhome need a habitation service please? Thanks

Recommended annually by most makers

If it's a new van there may be compulsory times and people to use..
Example.. Autotrails, yearly to keep the 10 year water ingress guarantee and must be done by a NCC approved engineer.
Some German vans can only go to their UK agents.

If there is no gurantee in place or a used / older van then you can have one done for peace of mind or even do some checks yourself or none at all, your choice.

What's the point, they have a quick glance around the then laugh behind your back while the extract money from your wallet.
Picking up our third new van tomorrow never had one never had any problems with warranty work but do have the damp check done.
Although I do believe if you have a British built van they will try and stitch up saying you have to have one to keep the warranty valid.

Motorhome is Avantgarde, not new but in very good condition.
Webbs sent me a "reminder".
If I were to do a self check, what points/checks could I do? Thanks

Google search "Motorhome habitation check list"

There are lots of links to people who publish their check lists

This subject was discussed a couple of days ago, however, forget the Habitation Check it's a waste of time and worthless.

Do have the Damp Check done which at least gives value in the event you do find Damp within the MH, you then have recall for correction by the Manufacturer

I think with Hymer only a dampcheck HAS to be done, I looked at the NIC sample form and thought that is a laugh, I would be very surprise if half of that got done other that the ticking exercise and the charging of the money. I will be doing it all when the makers warranty is expired if I have done the same, by then. Base vehicle service is Mercedes Benz and that is an oil and filter change first the the same with a gearbox fluid and filter change for a lot more money. The MB warranty is only two years so I will be doing that too after then.
