Full service are just habitation service

[Elliott34]

Just wondering We are on a seasonal pitch do we need a full service or just a habitation check

If your caravan is still within its warranty period then I think you need a full service to comply with the conditions.
If out of warranty, and on a seasonal, and it doesnt ever go onto the road then you could get away with just a hab check (and a damp check of course) BUT if/when you come to sell it that lack of a service record might affect its desirability to a purchaser.

Dealer or Manufacturers Warranty?
If the former do you have to use them or is an AWS ok!

Ask them to do the full service but exclude the Brake hub removal, AlKo do not require it every year. BUT, you do need to rotate your wheels, if it was myself I would raise the caravan off the wheels, and also leave the handbrake, OFF.
Your site rules might include the caravan can be moved in an emergency.

Go for the AWS as long as it doesn’t prejudice your Dealer Warranty😉.I always prefer to use a local . They get to know you and your caravan and obviously as a seasonal much easier for them to come to you..
Hope you are enjoying the seasonal experience👍

I think BB's caravan is second hand so after 6 months, he would need to prove fault existed at time of purchase if the dealer gives him uphill about a repair.

Good idea to use AWS as cheaper and no need to have caravan taken back to dealership for servicing as an annual service record looks good when selling on the caravan. After the first 3 years, we had the AWS service which included the damp test, but skipped the habitation check as it seemed pointless as they only do checks and no repairs or servicing.
