Campervan Habitation Check - Ewhurst, Gatwick & Cranleigh

A habitation check is one of the most important services a campervan owner can arrange, and often one of the most commonly overlooked. Unlike a standard vehicle service or MOT, a habitation check focuses on the living area of the vehicle: the systems and components that make a campervan habitable, safe, and comfortable to use.

Most manufacturers recommend an annual habitation check, and it’s a condition of many extended warranties. Even if neither applies to your vehicle, it’s a sensible thing to do – particularly before a long trip or after a period of storage.

What a habitation check covers

  • Gas system inspection – pipework, connections, appliances, and ventilation
  • 240V mains electrical system – sockets, consumer unit, hookup equipment
  • 12V leisure battery and electrical system
  • Water system – pump, pipework, and tank condition
  • Heating system inspection and function check
  • Ventilation and damp check throughout the habitation area
  • Smoke, carbon monoxide, and gas alarm testing
  • Seals, windows, and roof lights checked for water ingress
  • Bodywork inspection for signs of damp penetration

Why it matters

Damp is the campervan owner’s biggest long-term enemy, and a habitation check is the best way to catch it early.

Gas and electrical faults in a confined living space carry serious risks, and these are systems that don’t get checked during a routine service or MOT.
