Not long enough!
I've been there when customers have had their hab checks done, and book one for the following year ad they are so busy.
As for the cost of the hab check, depending what the dealer checks can affect the price. Some don't include gas or electrical, only damp.

They do get very busy for hab checks. We have a hymer and the damp service was only £125 and no pressure to have a hab check that is not needed for warranty.

It's not just hab checks. Their workshops for pretty much all work are booked out at least 6 months in advance.

Any random space they do get is reserved for genuine emergency work and with the best will in the world a hab check isn't that.

Now enjoying Greece.
If I had waited for a very expensive Hymer annual damp check at Highbridge
I would still be at home in the damp ,waiting.
In August I went to Campirama and they did the check without any delay for 70 euros.
I call that bad British service and lost future custom from Highbridge.

I only paid £125 for my Hymer damp check at Highbridge. Didn't think that was too bad for a UK dealer. Such a popular dealership you have to book well in advance.

I gave up on Hab checks after a leak appeared the DAY AFTER Hab check. I researched this a lot and do it myself now. The key thing is sealant around all the stuff on your roof. On mine the sealant had gone on Solar Panel fixings. These had not been checked as you need to take off the Solar Panel to see. When I did it was a 'nightmare' of grime, rotted sealant, and leaves. Cleaned the lot and used:
Sikaflex 221 Polyurethane Sealant
I now go over all sealant points every year with this stuff and all is well.
Hope this helps.
