A habitation check is a full health check of everything that makes your caravan or motorhome a safe and comfortable place to live. Where an MOT looks at the vehicle side, a habitation service focuses on the living area, such as the gas, electrics, water, ventilation and structure you and your family rely on when you’re away.
At our NCC Approved Workshop in Ringwood, our qualified technicians carry out thorough annual habitation checks for caravans, motorhomes and campervans, giving you a clear picture of your vehicle’s condition and flagging anything that needs attention before it becomes a problem.
What’s Included in a Habitation Check?
- Gas safety check, including a full gas pressure test
- Electrical system check across 12V and 230V circuits
- Water system check — pressure, leaks and trapped water
- Ventilation check — windows and roof lights
- Fire safety check — including smoke and alarm tests
- Inspection of bodywork, chassis and running gear, plus wheels and tyres
- Damp inspection to catch water ingress early
Why Have an Annual Habitation Check?
An annual habitation check is usually required to keep your manufacturer’s warranty valid, so it’s well worth staying on top of. Beyond that, it gives you genuine peace of mind that your vehicle is safe and ready for the season ahead — and a full, up-to-date service history is a real selling point if you ever come to move your caravan or motorhome on.
