Motorhome Habitation Checks

A motorhome habitation check should be carried out annually on the habitation area or ‘home’ element of your motorhome. It is designed to check that the gas, electric, water systems and appliances are running safely, efficiently and smoothly. In the unlikely event of damp entering your motorhome it is detected as soon as possible.

At Motorhome Kings we aim to offer the very best in motorhome servicing. Our highly experienced engineers will look after your motorhome and ensure all of our work is to the highest standards.

As an AWS Approved workshop we are able to work on your motorhome under the manufacturers warranty conditions. This also means we are one of only a few in Newcastle upon Tyne. To find out more about the AWS (approved workshop scheme) please see their website here.
