Cam belt change required?

[Toady]

I own a Hymer B704 PL 2017 and it has nearly 17K on the clock.

The MH is now 6 years old and it has not had a cam belt change yet.

Fiat state cam belt change at 5 year or 100K miles (or maybe 100K Km)

I have joined Nationwide Flex Plus for the breakdown cover after being covered by Driver Guardian for the last year.

I personally don’t think it is necessary to have the cam belt changed yet due to the low mileage but a check of the T&Cs on breakdown cover changed my mind.

The MH is booked in with Adams Morley for a cam belt change before we catch the ferry in January.

And quite importantly a belt is lighter. While chains are less likely to snap, they are not without problems especially if not lubricated properly.

If your timing chain isn't getting lubricated inside the timing cover, you've probably got bigger issues.

Sorry, was thinking more about low/no oil, water in oil, blocked oil lines etc.
