Keeping Your Motorhome Moving What We Check

Small issues are much easier to deal with when they’re found early. That’s why our habitation checks look at the areas that matter most, including your motorhome’s safety systems, appliances and signs of damp or water ingress, helping keep your motorhome safe and ready for the road.

Safety Checks

We inspect the key safety elements of your motorhome, helping ensure everything is safe, secure and ready for your next trip.

Appliances & Everyday Systems

Damp & Water Ingress

We inspect your motorhome for signs of damp and water ingress, helping identify potential issues before they become more costly repairs.

Motorhome Damp Repairs Damp Doesn't Fix Itself

Damp is one of the biggest concerns for motorhome owners, and for good reason. What often starts as a small area of water ingress can quickly spread behind walls, floors and furniture, leading to much more extensive and expensive damage if left untreated.

That’s why checking for damp is such an important part of every motorhome habitation check. The earlier you catch it, the better. Identifying moisture early can help prevent more extensive damage and reduce the need for costly motorhome damp repairs.

If we identify damp, we’ll explain exactly what we’ve found, what it means and the best way to move forward.

Need to Know More? Let's Answer Your Questions

We’ve answered some of the most common questions about our motorhome habitation checks. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, our team is always happy to help.

How often should I have a motorhome habitation check?

We recommend having your motorhome habitation check carried out every year. Annual checks help identify potential issues before they become more serious and, for many manufacturers, are also required to maintain your manufacturer warranty.

Is a habitation check the same as a motorhome service?

No. A motorhome service focuses on the mechanical components of your vehicle, such as the engine, brakes and suspension. A habitation check looks at the living area, inspecting key systems including the gas, electrical and water systems, along with checks for damp and water ingress.

What does a motorhome habitation check include?

Our habitation checks cover the key systems and living areas of your motorhome, including the gas, electrical and water systems, seals, ventilation and checks for signs of damp or water ingress. If we identify any issues, we’ll explain our findings and recommend the most appropriate solution.

What happens if you identify damp during a habitation check?

If we identify signs of damp, we’ll explain exactly what we’ve found, what it means and the options available to you. If your motorhome is covered by a manufacturer warranty, we’ll also manage the warranty process on your behalf where applicable, making the experience as straightforward as possible.

Do you carry out habitation checks for caravans?

Yes. Alongside motorhome habitation checks, we also provide habitation checks for caravans and campervans, inspecting the same key systems and living areas to help keep your caravan safe and in good condition.

How long does a habitation check take?

Most habitation checks take around three to four hours, although this can vary depending on the make, model and any issues we uncover during the inspection.

Why is checking for motorhome damp so important?

Damp is one of the most common and costly problems affecting motorhomes. Left untreated, even a small area of water ingress can spread and lead to much more extensive repairs. That’s why damp inspections are one of the most important parts of every motorhome habitation check.

Can you help maintain my manufacturer warranty?

Yes. Many manufacturers require an annual habitation check to keep their warranty valid. As an approved habitation check provider for Chausson, Pilote, Autotrail and motorhomes, we can carry out annual inspections in line with manufacturer requirements. If we identify a warranty-related issue, we’ll manage the warranty process on your behalf.
