Not a mechanical service
We check how the living space works, not the engine.
A habitation check focuses on the living accommodation: water systems, taps, waste, doors, windows, lockers, ventilation and general wear. It is a complement to regular mechanical servicing, not a replacement for it.
Appointments usually take one to two hours depending on size and layout. Work is carried out at Unit 13 in Paignton by Complete Campers Service Centre.

Before you book.
Is a habitation check the same as a full service?
No. It focuses on the living area and its systems rather than the base vehicle. Keep mechanical servicing up to date as well.
Will I get a written summary?
Yes. We can provide a simple written overview of what we have checked, any observations and anything that needs attention.
Do I need to empty the vehicle first?
You do not need to strip everything out, but access to lockers, under-seat areas and key cupboards helps the check go more smoothly.
Can you fix things you find?
Some items can be adjusted quickly. Others may need separate work. We will explain what is sensible before any extra work starts.
