What is a habitation check?

A thorough inspection of the living area of your van.

Habitation checks are the best way to ensure your campervan is in a safe, roadworthy condition. Our specialist engineers follow a full inspection procedure covering gas, electrics, water, ventilation, fire safety and the underside of the vehicle.

You’ll receive full safety certification, and the option to have us fix anything we identify — so you can travel with total peace of mind.
