SERVICE DETAILS
RECOMMENDED ANNUAL
SERVICE CHECK FOR MOTOR
CARAVAN BODIES AND
CONVERSIONS
It is recommended that the annual service is
carried out by an approved motorhome
service centre.
Introduction
This entire section offers guidelines for the
checking of a motorhome’s habitation area
and to ensure continual compliance with
EN1646-1.
It does not cover any part of the base vehicle,
although there may be minor overlapping
(such as tyre pressures, cab seats, internal
lights, battery and windows) in a van
conversion. The base vehicle must be
serviced in accordance with the chassis
manufacturer’s instructions.
Reference should also be made to:
• Any owner’s manual or equivalent
supplied with the vehicle by the
motorhome converter.
• Appliance manufacturer’s instructions.
• Driver’s handbook or equivalent supplied
by the chassis manufacturer.
• A vehicle is accepted for service at the
dealer’s discretion.
• Any defects, repairs, adjustments,
cleaning or lubrication required will be
noted on the checklist. The customer’s
approval will be obtained before any work
is done.
Not all of the equipment mentioned in this
manual is fitted as standard to every
motorhome.
This guide is published as an aide memoire
for dealers. Any work carried out following the
check, and the sufficiency of the work in the
check itself, is subject to the contract
between the customer and the dealer.
SECTION 1 - BODY MOUNTING
Body to Chassis
Examine all fixings retaining the body to the
chassis - this may be direct or through a sub-
frame. Where practical, all fittings should be
checked to ensure they are all present and
correctly secured.
Body to Cab
Examine joint between body and cab for
signs of movement and soundness of sealing
media.
Body Retention (dismountables)
Check serviceability and tightness of body
retaining gear.
Check serviceability of body support struts
and mountings. (Note: whether it will be
necessary to demount the body to check the
body supports must be agreed between
dealer and customer).
SECTION 2 - WINDOWS
Windows
Check window glazing rubber or sealing for
cracks and general condition. Check for
satisfactory operation and closing.
Check fixing of top hinge rail on top hung
windows.
Check for good weather seal when window is
closed and latched.

operation.
SECTION 3 - DOORS

door in the open position is satisfactory.
