Why Leisure Vehicle Owners Choose Specialist Servicing:
Most garages lack the training and equipment to properly service motorhomes, campervans, touring caravans, horsebox trailers and general towing trailers. They focus on engines while skipping critical leisure-specific systems like habitation gas checks, trailer braking balance, chassis corrosion, bearing preload and suspension geometry. You might drive away feeling "serviced," but critical risks remain hidden – uneven brakes that fail when towing, wheel bearings ready to collapse on motorways, or gas leaks missed entirely. Every journey carries doubt instead of confidence.
The Hidden Risks of Under-Servicing:
Leisure vehicles endure unique stresses: heavy towing loads, constant vibration, damp storage conditions, and salty North West roads accelerating chassis rust. Standard car servicing misses 70% of these issues. Owners often discover problems too late – £2,000+ brake repairs, MOT failures from unchecked chassis corrosion, or dangerous gas system faults. Regular "visual checks" on trailers and caravans don't measure bearing play, brake drum wear, or coupling security – leaving you vulnerable when it matters most.
What True Leisure Vehicle Servicing Delivers:
Happy Camper's specialist leisure vehicle engineers – trained specifically for motorhomes, campervans, touring caravans, horsebox trailers and general trailers – perform comprehensive 75-point inspections covering road safety, mechanical reliability, chassis integrity, running gear, gas safety (where fitted), electrical systems and habitation compliance. We use professional equipment including brake provers, corner weight scales, ultrasonic chassis testers and calibrated gas analysers to identify issues others miss. Mobile servicing comes directly to your home, storage yard or site across Liverpool, Manchester, Preston, Chester and North Wales including Towyn, Rhyl, Prestatyn, Abergele, Anglesey and Gwynedd.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How often should my motorhome, campervan, or caravan be serviced?
A: We recommend at least once a year, or before any long trip. Vehicles that are stored for long periods or tow heavy loads should be checked more frequently for safety.
Q: Is leisure vehicle servicing different from a normal car service?
A: Yes. Leisure vehicles and trailers have additional safety-critical systems such as chassis, running gear, brakes, towing components, and habitation systems that most garages do not check properly.
Q: Do you service touring caravans even if they are not self-powered?
A: Yes. Touring caravans require regular inspection of brakes, bearings, suspension, chassis, coupling, and safety components to ensure safe towing and legal compliance.
Q: Can you service trailers, horseboxes, and wagons?
A: Yes. We service general trailers, horsebox trailers, and wagons, including brake systems, wheel bearings, axles, lighting, and structural safety checks.
Q: Do you offer mobile servicing or is it workshop only?
A: We offer both. Servicing can be carried out at your location where suitable, or in our dedicated workshop if more in-depth inspection or equipment is required.
Q: Will you check safety items like brakes and wheel bearings?
A: Absolutely. Brakes, wheel bearings, running gear, suspension, and coupling systems are a core part of our servicing process and are fully inspected, not just visually checked.
Q: Will I be told if something needs repair straight away?
A: Yes. We provide clear, honest feedback after the service. You will know what is safe, what needs attention soon, and what can wait, with no pressure.
Q: Do you service motorhomes and campervans of all makes and ages?
A: Yes. We service all makes, models, and ages of motorhomes and campervans, including older vehicles that require extra care and experience.
Q: Is servicing important even if my vehicle has not been used much?
A: Yes. Vehicles that sit unused can develop issues such as seized brakes, perished components, corrosion, and bearing failure. Regular servicing prevents costly surprises.
Q: Why should I choose The Happy Camper Store over a standard garage?
A: We specialise in leisure vehicles and trailers. Our engineers understand the systems, safety requirements, and real-world use of these vehicles, giving you confidence that nothing critical is missed.
