Habitation Check

[Old Barrian]

The warranty period on my motorhome has now come to an end so it doesn't need to go back to the dealer (which is some considerable distance away) for its annual inspection so now I'm casting around for alternatives in North Yorkshire. I've come across an outfit called Habcheck which looks like a franchise operation who could do the check at the storage site where I keep the vehicle.

Does anyone have any experience of using this company (or any others in the area)?

TIA

Yes, it is a franchise so no guarantee how good the operative is. My son is a motorhome technician who wasn’t impressed by the work of a Habcheck engineer.

He is a member of another organisation - MCEA - so maybe worth checking them out too.

I advise you to proceed with more than a little caution. The one I had done a while back wasn't worth the paper it was written on. The attitude of habcheck when I complained wasn't great. They took no responsibility and passed the whole buck back on to the engineer. I would have been better spending the money on a decent damp meter and doing the job myself. I was forced to use them as they were the only one available at short notice, wonder why that was. The engineer cut corners, didn't fill in half the sheet, didn't test some of the items. The habitation door was in disrepair and wasn't noted on the hab checksheet. The report had no value. Now, I'm sure they have some great engineers that do a great job but I wouldn't go near them again.

They are very very clever as they can check that gas heating, gas hot water, fridge on gas and gas cooker all operate properly and safely without the van having a gas bottle or them bringing gas with them.
Personally I wouldn't touch them with someone else's barge pole.

Why do you need a habitation check now your warranty has expired?

On our 4th new van never had a hab check on any of them just the damp check to keep the water ingress warranty
