Peace of Mind, Every Time: What Happens Before You Drive Away in Your Motorhome, Campervan or Caravan

At Cara Motorhomes & Caravans, we believe that buying a motorhome or caravan should be as stress free and exciting as the adventures that are to follow. That’s why every vehicle we sell goes through a comprehensive series of checks and services before you collect the keys.

Whether you’re purchasing a brand new model or a pre-loved one, here’s what happens behind the scenes to make sure your home on wheels is adventure ready:

🔍 Full Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI)

Our Pre-Delivery Inspection is a complete check over of the vehicle. We look at everything from appliances and lighting to locks, seals and bodywork. It’s our way of making sure everything works as it should and that nothing’s been missed. If we find something that needs attention, we fix it before you collect your vehicle.

🏕 Habitation Check

This is one of the most important parts of the process. Our habitation check covers all living areas inside the vehicle. We test:

• Gas systems and appliances
• Water system and pump
• Heating and ventilation
• Windows, doors and seals
• Electrical systems
• Damp levels

You’ll receive a full habitation report, giving you peace of mind that your new motorhome, campervan or caravan is safe, secure and ready to enjoy.

🔧 Engine Service

For pre loved motorhomes, we also carry out a full engine service as part of the pre-sale process. This includes changing oils, filters and checking belts, brakes, tyres and more. All performed by our experienced workshop technicians.

We want you to drive off with confidence, knowing everything under the bonnet has had a full once over.

Why We Do It

We take pride in preparing each and every vehicle properly before it leaves our forecourt. It’s part of our promise to you! When you buy from us, you’re not just getting a fantastic vehicle, you’re also getting our expert care, transparency and long term support and advice.
