Maintenance & Servicing Tips

Buying your Motor home is just the start. Here’s how to keep it in top shape:

Annual Habitation Check: Ensures the electrical, gas, water, and bodywork systems are safe

Engine Servicing: Just like your car — oil, filters, brakes, etc.

Damp Checks: Prevent moisture damage early

Tyers & Tracking: Crucial for fuel economy and safety

Winter Storage: Drain water tanks, disconnect battery, and protect from frost

Our in-house service center is always here to help with scheduled maintenance or urgent repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What license do I need to drive a motorhome?

If the motorhome is under 3,500kg, a standard UK Category B license is fine. Over 3,500kg may require C1.

Q: Can I park a motorhome at home?

Usually yes but check the local council rules and your driveway size.

Q: Are Motorhomes usable in winter?

Absolutely — especially those with insulated walls and heating systems like Trauma or Alde.

Q: Can I take my Motorhome abroad?

Yes! Most motorhomes are fully equipped for European travel — just add insurance and a few legal essentials (GB sticker, hi-vis, etc.)
