Motorhome Habitation Service
Peace of mind for the safety of yourself and your family
Annual motorhome habitation servicing is essential for your motorhome to provide peace of mind for the safety of yourself and your family.
We are a member of the AWS/NCC approved mobile workshop scheme. This means that we can carry out your motorhome habitation servicing whilst maintaining your manufacturer’s warranty. All motorhomes with manufacturer’s warranty will need a motorhome habitation service annually (in line with the original purchase date) in order to maintain the full warranty status. For Swift and Elddis owners, we will upload all paperwork to the manufacturers directly. For all other manufacturers, it is the customer’s responsibility to maintain all servicing documentation. The AWS/NCC scheme is supported by these motorhome manufacturers.
All motorhome habitation servicing is carried out by fully trained staff and our company has public liability insurance. Our service van is equipped to carry out motorhome habitation servicing at a place to suit you, whether it be at home, on site or in storage. No longer will you have the inconvenience and expense of taking your motorhome to the main dealers.
