Caravan servicing is a comprehensive annual inspection that focuses on the safety, roadworthiness, and internal systems of your caravan. It goes beyond basic checks, covering critical areas such as brakes, tyres, hitch, running gear, gas systems, electrics, heating, and water systems. Regular servicing helps identify wear, faults, or safety concerns early - before they become costly or dangerous.
Annual caravan servicing is strongly recommended for both safety and peace of mind. Faulty gas systems, electrical issues, brake wear, or water ingress can all pose serious risks if left unchecked. Regular servicing helps:
With thousands of caravan-related incidents reported each year in the UK, keeping your caravan properly serviced is an essential part of responsible ownership.
A caravan habitation check focuses on the living area of your caravan and is a vital part of the servicing process. This inspection ensures that everything inside your caravan is safe, functional, and comfortable to use.
Our habitation checks include:
Habitation checks are particularly important for caravans, as undetected damp or gas issues can quickly lead to expensive repairs.
A full caravan service includes both mechanical and habitation elements. Key areas inspected include:
Any issues found will be clearly explained, with no obligation to proceed with repairs.
We recommend annual caravan servicing, ideally every 12 months. Even if your caravan is lightly used or stored for long periods, components such as brakes, seals, and gas systems can deteriorate over time.

As your service date approaches, a member of our team will contact you around one week in advance to confirm arrangements. We ask that caravans are dropped off the day before the service and collected the day after, although same-day drop-off and collection may be possible by prior arrangement.
On the day of your caravan service, we’ll keep you informed of progress. If any issues are identified, we’ll discuss them with you before carrying out any additional work. Once complete, you’ll receive a detailed service report by email from one of our in-house engineers.
