Colin Leake Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Probably not but we always have a habby service done after the first year to cover and find any warranty issues. After that we have the mechanical service done buy a very through independent garage and don't bother with the habby service. I know this invalidates the warranty but we only keep our motorhomes for five or six years and so far any warranty issues have all revealed themselves in the first year.

lennyhb Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 We have the annual damp check done never had a habitation service and never had any problems with warranty issues in fact our dealer told us a habitation service wasn't necessary until 5 years old. Did get them to check the gas system last year & they didn't charge. Engine service have done by an independent every 18 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Brown Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hi Maybe the full hab service is not necessary but I would always have the gas system checked out and a damp check - each year. Damp speaks for itself but gas is a strange animal. Last year I had work done on the system to make it safer. This year I started to smell gas so asked my service people to find the leak. They did, it was a gaslow cylinder which had not leaked previously. Job sorted. Just to finish, I contacted Gaslow and explained the problem. They arranged to have a new cylinder delivered to my nearest participant at whose premises I exchanged the leaking cylinder for a new one. Cant fault the service - call on the Monday and exchange on the Wednesday of the same week. With habitation forget about the warranty if you wish but be safe!!!
