IMHO I think the present 3 year ruling should become mandatory for Gas Safe and Electrical certified inspections on touring caravans . In my view it would catch the D.I.Y'er that is not up to the latest regulation standards thus greatly improve heath and safety in one fell swoop . Surely it was also give a touring caravan owner more comfort in the knowledge their unit is in order aswell as a prospective buyer confidence that the caravan is well maintained and worthy of purchase. If its good for the static holiday caravan safety then maybe it could be good for our lifestyle hobby .
I understand what Colin means , where does it stop , but every long journey starts with the first step .
This may well be taken out of the tourers owners hands anyway soon if our insurance companies insist we have these tests done to satisfy their policies !
May I just add one thing , just because something works it does NOT mean its safe , I'm sure plenty of have seen some electric circuits installed by D.I.Y.ers in caravans !!!
