Habitation and gas check

[ChrisGC]

Hi We’ve had our GC680 for four years and at no point has VW mentioned a habitation or gas check. Should VW carry this out or do I need to arrange for a third party to carry this out? Are there any legal requirements?

VW don’t do habitation checks. A lot of the wider network of Motorhome/caravan dealers have the capability to do them.

Thank you - is it necessary to arrange for our own habitation or own gas check?

Ultimately they are your gas appliances and it’s up to you if you get them serviced. But your insurance may require an annual check, if you’re renting the vehicle you must get an annual check and if you are letting family borrow the vehicle you should get them checked.
