Touring Caravan Service

A well-maintained caravan makes every trip a little easier, a little safer, and a lot more enjoyable. A full habitation and safety service checks the parts of your caravan you rely on most — from the running gear to the electrics. Everything is inspected carefully, and you’ll know exactly what condition your caravan is in before you head off on your next adventure.

Our prices include genuine one-shot hub nuts and manufacturer-recommended lubricants. Hub nuts are single-use and should never be reused, so they’re replaced as part of the service. If any additional work or parts are needed, you’ll receive a quote before anything is carried out.

A full service typically takes around four hours. When the work is complete, you’ll receive a detailed report covering observations, recommended repairs, and any parts that may need attention. A separate damp report is also included.
