Here are some key things to consider when carrying out a touring caravan habitation check
-
Gas system - Check the gas system for leaks, damaged pipes, or loose fittings. Ensure that all gas appliances are working correctly and have been serviced within the last 12 months. Always turn off the gas supply before driving or when you're not using the caravan.
-
Electrical system - Check the electrical system for any loose wires or damaged sockets. Make sure that the battery is fully charged and in good condition. Check all the lights, including brake lights and indicators, and ensure that they're working correctly.
-
Water system - Check the water system for leaks or damage to pipes or fittings. Check that the water pump is working correctly, and the water tank is clean and free from any debris. Drain down the water system if you're not going to use the caravan for an extended period.
-
Bodywork - Inspect the caravan's exterior for any signs of damage or wear and tear, including dents, scratches, or rust. Check the condition of the tires and ensure that they're inflated to the correct pressure. Check the brakes and bearings, and replace any damaged parts.
-
Windows and doors - Check all windows and doors for any signs of damage or wear and tear. Ensure that all locks and hinges are in good condition and working correctly.
It's recommended to carry out a habitation check at least once a year or before each long journey. If you're not confident in carrying out a habitation check yourself, you can always seek the services of a professional caravan servicing company that can carry out the inspection for you.
In conclusion, regular habitation checks on your touring caravan are essential for ensuring your safety and comfort while on the road. Identifying and fixing any potential problems early is essential to prevent them from becoming major issues down the line.
