Motorhome Winter Health Check

Why Motorhome Winter Health Check? Well according to the AA your Motorhome / Campervan is 18% less likely to start in the winter and 51% more likely to suffer a flat battery or other electrical problem. Plus, the RAC estimates that drivers in some UK areas are 20% more likely to suffer a breakdown during the winter.

The last thing you need this winter is to be stuck at the side of the road in the dark or freezing cold waiting for a recovery vehicle. It’s stressful, it’s expensive and you might miss that important Turkey dinner… Don’t risk cancelling Christmas!!

Here is a low cost (free if your are an existing customer) way to reduce the risk of winter breakdown in the first place?

Our Motorhome Winter Health Check is designed to keep your Motorhome / Campervan running smoothly and give it a fighting chance when the weather takes a turn. Plus, it’s a cost-effective alternative to a service, so you can get the peace of mind you deserve for less.
