Habitation Service for Caravans & Motorhomes

A habitation service focuses on the living areas of your caravan, checking all internal systems for safety, operation and general condition. This includes gas, electrics, water, appliances, bodywork and a full damp inspection. It’s ideal for caravans kept on seasonal pitches, or for customers who don’t require a chassis service.
