Habitation Check for Campervan and Motorhome - WHY?

Do you see the dangers of a campervan? Today we talk about some of these dangers and how they can be avoided.
Many people do this anyway, so it's not going to be breaking news and a shock (hopefully) but if you weren't aware, it is definitely worth having a habitation check carried out on your van.
The AWS is formed on a tripartite basis between NCC (National Caravan Council), The Caravan and Motorhome Club and The Camping and Caravanning Club.

This isn't compulsory, unlike the base vehicles MOT, but the MOT doesn't look at the safety aspects of the camper conversion, the gas appliances and fittings, the electrical wiring and the sleeping elements of the van.
However, do you need an annual habitation check to maintain your campervan warranty?

NOT Legally required BUT you SHOULD have one

The @Staycation Lifestyle van conversion is coming along.

I bought a VW Transporter T6 Kombi Highline van 140bhp diesel SWB with tailgate.

I have lots more to do though, I have a new electrical system, using Victron components and a Lithium LIFEPO4 battery, so I obviously need to install some power devices. I have a new sound system, with Focal speakers and ibus 2.1 amp, Playstation PS4, which is removable, TV's on headrests.

Lots for me to look forward too and it would be nice to take you on the journey.
Vanlife is amazing, get out and explore, it's a great adventure.
There are many great camper adventures to come

Is there a way to cross check the NCC requirements to build it in accordance. Better to get it right at planning rather than after the work is done

Seen plenty of burst tyres recently through that. Poor form from fitters
