Gas Safety for Caravans and Motor Homes

With increasing demand in the UK for touring caravans & motor homes, many people will be looking to take touring holidays – but it’s important not to forget gas safety in your mobile home from home.  This applies if you’re purchasing, hiring or currently own a caravan or motorhome.

The term caravan covers tourers, motor-caravans, motorhomes, and caravan holiday homes (also known as static caravans), collectively known as leisure accommodation vehicles (LAVs).

f you’re holidaying in the UK in a touring caravan, static caravan or motorhome the hirer must, by law, have all gas appliances safety checked and serviced and is required to provide an up-to-date Landlord Gas Safety Record.  If you are purchasing an LAV, ask the vendor to provide any servicing and maintenance records. If these can’t be supplied, ask about having the gas installation checked by a Gas Safe Registered engineer.

We, at Chas Stewart Plumbing & Heating Engineers, can provide gas safety checks and landlords certificates for all appliances that can be found in your leisure home, such as boilers, water heaters, cookers, gas fires etc.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch to arrange your annual gas safety check on your caravan or motorhome.
