SERVICE DETAILS
AUTO-SLEEPERS SERVICE
CENTRE ANNUAL HABITATION
CHECK
Introduction
It is recommended that every 12 months the
habitation side of your motorhome is
inspected by qualified technicians. Attached
to this brief, is a list of all the points that are
checked.
A few customers are of the belief that this
check includes rectification of faults. It is
stressed that this is not the case, the annual
service is a check only of the habitation
aspect of the motorhome.
If faults are found, the technician will advise
you, the customer, of the fault and the
recommended course of action to resolve
this.
Servicing is not included in this check.
All facilities are run and tested through their
operational envelope. For example, the flame
propagation on the refrigerator and other
main gas appliances (where visible) is
checked. If the flame is burning a wrong
colour or burning too far from the jet, we
again advise you, the customer, as to how
this should be rectified.
We also recommend and are only too happy
to arrange for the refrigerator of your Auto-
Sleeper to be checked here at the Service
Centre by a qualified Dometic engineer. In
this instance we call upon Leisure Appliances
and Repairs of Hereford who come, by
appointment, to carry out the necessary
work.
The only component that is changed during
the course of the annual check is the flexible
gas hose, the hose that leads from the
bulkhead fitting in the gas compartment to
the gas regulator.
A further aspect of the test is a gas pressure
test.
You will see also that we check that key
components are serviceable (fire
extinguishers etc) and furthermore that
where appropriate, items are lubricated and
checked for serviceability.
