Stay Safe and Road-Ready
Keeping your campervan in top condition is essential for ensuring safety, comfort, and reliability on the road. A yearly habitation check is a comprehensive inspection that helps maintain the functionality of your vehicle, preventing small issues from turning into costly repairs. Whether you’re a weekend explorer or a full-time traveller, regular checks ensure your home-on-wheels remains in peak condition. At Colebrook CSC Transporters, we provide professional habitation checks designed to give you peace of mind, ensuring your campervan is safe, secure, and ready for your next adventure.
What’s Included in a Campervan Habitation Check?
Gas System Check
- Gas Appliances: We inspect your stove, oven, fridge, and heater to ensure they are operating correctly.
- Gas Leak Test: A thorough pressure test checks for leaks in gas pipes and connections, preventing potential hazards.
- Ventilation: We make sure all appliances have sufficient airflow to function safely.
PLEASE NOTE: If you require a gas test certificate, this is available at an additional cost.
Electrical System Check
- 12V and 240V Systems: We test wiring, fuses, sockets, and appliances for safety and functionality.

Water System Check
