Servicing Your Motorhome at WCMH

At West Country Motorhomes, we’re not just about selling award-winning motorhomes, we’re committed to helping you keep them in top condition too.

Whether you’re gearing up for a road trip across the UK or simply after the peace of mind that your motorhome is running at its best, regular servicing is essential. In this post, we’ll take you through what’s included in a motorhome service at WCMH, how the process works, and why it’s so important for your vehicle, your safety, and your future adventures.

What’s Included in a Motorhome Service at WCMH?

At WCMH, we offer both habitation and chassis servicing, giving your vehicle the comprehensive care it deserves. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:

Habitation Check (Interior Living Area)

Our technicians inspect all the key components of your living space, including:

• Electrical systems (12V and 240V)
• Gas systems (leak test & appliance functionality)
• Water systems (fresh and waste)
• Heating and ventilation
• Windows, doors, locks, and roof lights
• Smoke, carbon monoxide and fire alarms
• Damp checks (using professional moisture meters)

We also assess seals, hinges, and general condition, ensuring everything is safe and road-ready.

Chassis & Mechanical Servicing (Base Vehicle)

We can carry out chassis servicing on most makes and models (including Fiat, Peugeot, Ford and more). This includes:

• Engine oil and filter changes
• Brake inspection and adjustment
• Suspension and steering checks
• Tyres, lights, battery and fluid levels
• Visual inspection of belts and hoses

For motorhomes still under manufacturer warranty, our service adheres to guidelines to maintain that coverage.

How the Service Process Works

Booking your service with WCMH is simple, and we strive to make it as convenient and transparent as possible:

1. Book In Advance: You can schedule your service by phone, email or by visiting us at our Somerset or Wiltshire locations.
2. Drop-Off & Assessment: Drop your motorhome off at the agreed time. Our technicians will carry out a thorough initial assessment.
3. Full Inspection & Report: After the checks, we’ll provide a clear breakdown of findings—what’s good, what needs attention, and what’s urgent.
4. Approval Before Repairs: If any work is needed beyond the standard service, we’ll contact you with a quote and get your approval before going ahead.
5. Collection: You’ll collect your vehicle fully serviced, cleaned, and ready for your next adventure.

We also offer MOTs, accessory fitting, and repairs all under one roof—so everything you need is in one place.

Why Regular Servicing Matters

Too often, motorhome servicing is left until something goes wrong—but preventative care is the smarter, safer route. Here’s why it’s so important:

• Safety First: Gas leaks, electrical faults or tyre issues can be dangerous on the road. Regular checks protect you and your passengers.
• Avoid Costly Repairs: Catching minor problems early can prevent major (and expensive) repairs later.
• Preserve Value: A well-maintained motorhome retains its resale value better than one with a patchy service history.
• Warranty Compliance: Keeping up with annual servicing is often a condition of both manufacturer and extended warranties.
• Peace of Mind: Perhaps most importantly, you’ll have confidence every time you hit the road.
