- Getting your Caravan serviced regularly is important for many reasons. Hopefully this video will show you why and what checks take place during a caravan service.
Our caravan is one year old and its first service is due. Time to remove the last things from the van and take it in for its service. Fingers crossed it passes all its checks and does well on the damp check.

Hi, great video. I have one of those Platinum low height battery's spare, I upgraded to lithium 👍. It's a shame your not closer, cheers Andy
Are there "lower profile" batteries out there? I might need to look into it.
@@heyholetstowYes I ordered this one 12v Xplorer Polarmax 100AH Low Temperature Lithium Battery with Bluetooth from Alpha batteries.
@@andyjenno sounds expensive 😀
@@heyholetstowIt was around £380-£400. It fits great & provides so much more power, it's connected to a solar panel, It's great 👍. Deb & Tony call me solar Andy, I've been chatting to Tony about power banks.
@@andyjenno not a bad price to be fair
I’ve noticed the clock on the Truma and the stereo presets memory on my Phoenix are always still as they were despite the main 12v being turned off, it clearly still powers them when off
@@davidmbell yep. No way to isolate them and will always be drawing power.
@@heyholetstow thankfully I’ve 150w of solar on top keeping mine ticking over
@@davidmbell our caravan isn't as posh as yours :)
I have been advised by a caravan engineer not to use the quick release connectors the do not make proper contact, told to get the proper battery connectors, hope this helps. Great videos.
@@robertpoulter8220 yea, they seem a bit rubbish, especially on the under floor Bailey batteries
I wonder what the best time of year is to have the service? We have ours done in August, primarily as it is the anniversary of buying it. The appointments are easy to get as everyone is either using their van, just about to, or have just come back! There is always a high pressure for appointments early or before the season. I think I would choose August anyway! We are never away in August as we avoid school hols etc. So is good for us.
@@davidlewins4631 we had to have our done now due to it being a year since we bought it, though it would be good to choose the month
PS those top set of switches aren’t anything to do with 12v, they’re the mains RCDs etc
@@davidmbell thanks. So I’ve been advised incorrectly. Seems there will always be a draw on power went left alone
Have you not got a mechanic on site to do servicing? that is so much easier, as for power loss doesn't your solar panel keep battery charged. How much did Wanda charge for service?
@@paulhill4457 the service is doing at the same site as our storage, and they move it to the workshop, which helps. We don’t have a Solar panel on this caravan. The service was just shy of £300. Thanks for watching 😀
Hay Ho Hello, thanks for sharing your video, maybe your battery is not fully charged because of those battery connections are loose ?, there are a few vloggers who have done a video on fitting a solar panel to their own caravan,that could be worth checking out, 👍👍.
@@busterboy7505 you could be right. Need a solid connection but something I can easily unclip when I need to remove the battery
@@heyholetstow solar panel Is the answer we have tracker and the voltage has never dipped below 12.5 volts Battery in the caravan was always a bad idea from Bailey one of the reasons we changed brand, as for £300 for a service of a caravan of your size that is seriously expensive, you need to get some quotes from elsewhere my tugging friend.
@@paulhill4457 we did shop around and £300 seemed and average sort of piece
battery test tick. got one . battery compartment tick .got one.(loose connections) !!!!! dont matter . could just set caravan on fire.
@@paulbower5274 😢
Hi, when shutting the caravan down, always turn off the heating and hot water first then switch the truma panel off by pressing the button in THEN switch off the main master switch. Hope this helps
