With Happy Camper’s expertly documented and insurer-recognised service, you’ll have everything you need to prove your caravan is safe, well-maintained, and ready for the road, wherever your next adventure takes you.

Why Book an Annual Caravan Habitation Check?

An annual habitation check is the best way to maintain your caravan’s safety, comfort, and market value. Many manufacturers require proof of a yearly habitation inspection to keep warranties valid, and insurance companies often prefer documented checks for claim approvals. Most holiday parks and campsites in Lancashire, Cumbria, Cheshire, Merseyside, North Wales, and further afield, demand a recent habitation certificate to allow you onsite.

Neglecting this check can result in hidden faults, dangerous gas or electrical problems, undetected damp, and expensive repairs. Worse, you could face invalidated warranties and ruin your holiday plans if you arrive at a site without a current certificate.

Key Areas Checked During a Habitation Inspection:

• Damp Test & Water Ingress Check - We use professional moisture meters to check for hidden damp in walls, floors, ceilings, and all vulnerable joints. Early detection helps prevent costly, widespread water damage.

• Gas System Inspection - All caravan gas systems, appliances, hoses, and regulators are tested for leaks, correct operation, and safe installation, reducing risks of carbon monoxide and fire hazards.

• 230V Mains Electrical System & 12V System Check - We inspect sockets, RCDs, lights, fuses, and all wiring, including the leisure battery and charging circuits, ensuring all electrics are safe, compliant, and fully functional.

• Water System - Checks include fresh and waste water tanks, pipes, pumps, taps, shower, and toilet function for leaks and hygiene.

• Heating, Ventilation & Appliance Safety - We verify that all heating, fridge, oven, and ventilation systems work safely and efficiently.

• Bodywork & Seals - Inspection of exterior panels, doors, windows, rooflights, and awning rails for signs of leaks, damage, or failing seals.

• Tyre & Towing Safety - Assessment of tyre condition and pressure, as well as the safety and operation of towing electrics, brackets, and couplings.

• Fire & Safety Equipment - We check smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, fire extinguishers, and emergency exits for your complete protection.
