TOURING CARAVANS - ANNUAL SERVICE RECORD
In order to ensure your warranty remains valid an annual service must be carried out in
accordance with the requirements of this handbook. You are responsible for any charges
incurred for the service of your vehicle. If the annual service is performed by an authorised
Buccaneer Approved Retailer / Service Centre or NCC Approved Workshop then The Explorer
Group Ltd deems that the service has been performed correctly.
You may choose to have your annual service performed by an unauthorised repairer / service
centre and if you do it will be your responsibility to ensure that the service meets our
requirements.
We will ask you to provide a copy of the following documentation:
• Damp report
• Annual Habitation Service check list (to the minimum standard set out in this handbook)
• Invoice / dated service stamp
If the Annual Service has not been performed in accordance with the requirements in this

rights as a customer.
