  • What is a Habitation Check? | Watch Our Van Being Checked
    In this video Jamie (a fellow Brummie) of JB Caravan & Trailer Services returns to do the 2nd habitation check on our 2 year old van. Did Jamie find any issues? Are habitation checks worth it? Will anybody understand 2 Brummies on video?

    Don't know why I said Advanced glass mat, it's absorbed glass mat for AGM batteries. Don't know where that came from

      It is because a fellow Brummie was talking to you and a camera was on… happens to everyone. Even award winning folk 😁

    Quite funny chap. Hope I don't get any backlash from my comments about Weston 😁

      Brummies are born funny… nothing wrong with Weston (or Brean). Was the only seaside in the UK as far as I was concerned when I was a child 😂

    I got a habitation service done on our van a couple of weeks ago as the previous owner only had one done in four years of ownership! The Truma heating had stopped working and he sorted it out immediately, also advised on other things I'd didn't spot like our Heki roof light gas struts didn't work and we didn't have a fire blanket. Our guy was mobile and about £90 less than the dealer, also went direct to the storage place so saved me wasting a day off. I think he was really good value for the knowledge and advice and will get it done every year

      I agree. As I said in the video, we live and sleep in our vans and they have electric, gas, batteries, many things that can go wrong. Peace of mind for not a lot of money relatively. Thanks for watching and your comment.

      We watch all your videos and follow your advice, I think we've got most of the essential items on your list now! Invested in mifi now, bought the EE 4gee from Argos and a Chromecast so we can watch BT sports and sky, as well as streaming your videos on UA-cam! £90 for the mifi from Argos

    Didn’t realise the amount you gotta sort owning a motor home it’s like having another home but on wheels just started sorting a decent tracker system I believe it has one but no one is allowed to know where it is from what I believe but presuming I will have to have new tracker fitted??? And recommendations??? Really want to get one fitted as my motor home is on my drive way have fitted a steering lock and wheel clamp too snd it’s blocked in with wife’s car and my minibus next to it so there’s not really anyway of it being stolen but am on edge with it especially silly with how much they cost thanks Jeff 👍🏽👍🏽

    • @LiveforTravel
      @LiveforTravel  Рік тому +1

      Yes there are always going to be those who want to take. The only thing to do is to slow them down and hope they choose another van. Terrible but…

    Another comprehensive and helpful presentation, thank you!
    Two question if I may.
    What was the cost of the mobile service compared with the main agent?
    How and where do you send the copy of the report to Roller Team?
    We are collecting our new T590 next month. They have made some changes to the van this year and I could send you some details by email if this is of interest to you.

    • @LiveforTravel

      Thanks. The mobile service was approximately £100 less. I don’t tend to quote prices on the video because a) the video will be watched over many years and b) prices might vary dependant on other factors (of which only Jamie would know) so I always recommend contacting them directly. However, if you like to send me an email I am happy to confirm the cost to me on our particular vehicle. Email is livefortraveluk@gmail.com
      Regarding Roller Team, I email aftersales.team@auto-trail.co.uk and I request them to email confirmation of receipt. Jamie is part of the “Approved Workshop Scheme” so is an approved business with Roller Team.
      Yes, I would be very happy for you to send details of your van and I am aware they have had many updates. Please feel free to email me anytime. I will probably be putting a call out to people who own a 2022 model to see if any would be happy for me to review (and compare) their van with ours.
      Thanks for watching and your support.

    How much was the hab check?

    • @LiveforTravel
      @LiveforTravel  2 роки тому

      We typically don’t mention price because the video will remain on UA-cam indefinitely and I am unaware of what other factors may affect the cost. We are happy for viewers to email us and we would confirm what we paid on an individual basis or, of course, viewers can contact them directly. My email is livefortraveluk@gmail.com
