Servicing a motorhome is a common responsibility for owners. They regularly schedule servicing for both mechanical upkeep and habitation maintenance.


Habitation servicing primarily focuses on the interior aspects of a motorhome, encompassing plumbing, electrical systems, climate control, and more. On the flip side, mechanical servicing addresses crucial components vital for the motorhome's performance, such as the engine and transmission.


Conducting a habitation check is pivotal to ensuring the comfort, safety, and durability of any motorhome.

Comprehensive Survey

      At Thurton Auto Centre, our comprehensive habitation checks are designed to ensure the safety and comfort of your motorhome. Here's what our thorough examination entails:

    🚰 Water & Plumbing

    We meticulously inspect all water and plumbing systems for leaks, conducting a detailed examination if any damage is suspected. Our technicians scrutinize water taps, wastewater discharges, toilets, seals, and wet heating systems

    ⚡Electrics

    Our habitation check includes a thorough inspection of all electrical systems and components, both internal and external. We examine lights, sockets, circuit breakers, and electrical appliances like refrigerators to ensure everything is in optimal condition

    ♨️ Gas Systems

    Just as crucial as water and electrics, we meticulously examine your motorhome's gas systems for leaks. Our technicians inspect ventilation, safety features, and all gas-fueled appliances, including water heaters, to guarantee safety and efficiency

    🔥 Fire and CO Detectors

    Safety is paramount, which is why we meticulously test fire and CO detectors to confirm their functionality. If your motorhome is equipped with fire extinguishers, we'll also examine them, ensuring they're ready for action.

    💧 Damp Check

    Every comprehensive habitation check includes a thorough damp check to detect any moisture inside your motorhome. We assess ventilation to prevent moisture buildup, addressing any dampness promptly to prevent damage.
