A BUSY BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND AT HABISAFE!

We’ve been super busy over the last couple of weeks with servicing, repairs and diagnostics, so we thought our followers might appreciate a little look at some of the work we’ve been getting stuck into recently!

Saturday started with a rewiring job on a fridge fitted to a VW T6 camper.
The fridge had been wired using cable that was under-rated for the installation, which had resulted in the fridge going into error.
We corrected the wiring and got the system working as it should.

Sunday morning saw us heading over to Roche, Cornwall, to fit a large 960 x 655 skylight to an Abbey Freestyle caravan.
Thankfully, we managed to dodge the rain showers long enough to get the installation completed!

From there, it was straight on to a Thetford warranty job involving a 12V compressor fridge in a motorhome in Perranporth, followed by an electrical inspection on a Swift caravan in Looe on our way home to finish the day off.

Bank Holiday Monday was a slightly quieter day with just one job — a water ingress inspection on a Swift Grande X at Pennymoor Campsite near Modbury.

Unfortunately, the inspection identified a failed cant rail and a debonding front window rail.
A temporary repair was carried out to help prevent further water ingress until the customer is able to return the caravan to their dealer further up the country for a permanent repair.

It’s been a busy few weeks, but we’re certainly not complaining!
There’s been plenty of variety, and it’s always great to be keeping caravans and motorhomes on the road and helping customers get the most out of their vehicles.

A big thank you to all our customers and followers for keeping us busy and supporting HabiSafe. ❤️

It's been another busy week at HabiSafe, with the installation of three air conditioning units and the replacement of a sunroof on a Swift caravan, alongside our usual servicing, repairs and diagnostics.

Every job has brought its own unique challenges.
No two air conditioning installations are ever quite the same, with different cable routes and vehicle layouts requiring careful planning and attention to detail.

Replacing a sunroof as a mobile service also has its own complexities, but with the right experience, equipment and approach, we've successfully completed every job to the high standard our customers expect.

It's these challenges that we enjoy — finding the best solution while ensuring every repair and installation is completed professionally, safely and to a factory-quality finish.

With more air conditioning installations and another sunroof replacement already booked for the coming month, it's great to see so many customers choosing HabiSafe to carry out specialist work on their caravans and motorhomes.

Update on the post from 11/01/26.

My customers caravan had been back to the dealership he had purchased it from for repairs that should have been done before picking it up and had been returned repaired.

After looking at the floor repairs, I commented that the floor repairs had been done, but not with a method I was familiar with and only time would tell if it would stand up.

Well, they didn't stand up very well at all.

The customer had noticed something coming away from the floor, so called me back to have a look.

It turned out the dealership had used MDF laminate flooring to replace the factory marine ply.
They had then covered the repair with body filler and then sprayed it black.

They had also done the repair without stopping the water ingress and had covered over the rotten timber.

We went today and removed the previous repairs and re-repaired the floor using the correct ply.
We determined that the floor was still getting damp due to the lower awning rails letting in water.

We removed the rails, cleaned and prepped them and rebonded them back to the caravan.

The customers fridge had also stopped working, so we removed it and replaced it with a new 12v compressor fridge.

Hopefully they can enjoy their caravan for a bit now without any more issues.

If anything does happen though, we will be there to assist them.

🚐🔧 Sometimes a simple fault isn't quite as simple as it first appears...

A few weeks ago, we were called out to a caravan in St Austell with what seemed like a straightforward issue – an Alde heating system that wasn't working.

Our initial inspection quickly revealed that the heating fluid had never been changed. Over time it had become corrosive, causing internal leaks within the system, meaning the Alde unit would need replacing.

When we returned to fit the new unit, we discovered a second problem. The leisure battery was completely dead. After replacing the battery and carrying out further testing, we found there was still no 12V power throughout the caravan. The culprit this time was a failed PSU, which had to be removed and sent away for repair.

A couple of weeks later, the repaired PSU was refitted and finally showed signs of life... but the caravan still wasn't happy. We were greeted with a communication error on the PSU. As we removed the control panel to investigate, mouse droppings literally rained down from behind it.

What followed was a much larger investigation.

Furniture panels and the fridge had to be removed so we could trace the wiring.
The mice had been using the wiring loom behind the fridge as a climbing frame and had travelled throughout the caravan, causing damage wherever access became restricted.

In total, we found five separate locations where wiring had been completely chewed through, including the main wiring loom, Alde control panel cable and data cables. Some furniture boards had also suffered damage.

After breaking the news to the customer, we sourced the correct cables and put together a repair plan.

Today, we returned to complete the job.

✅ Rebuilt damaged wiring looms and data cables
✅ Repaired and rebuilt the fridge compartment seal
✅ Refitted the fridge
✅ Tested the gas system for tightness
✅ Reinstalled furniture boards and trims
✅ Filled and commissioned the Alde system with fresh 5-year pink fluid
✅ Fitted a new solar regulator at the customer's request

The result?

A fully functioning heating system, working electrics, a safe gas installation and one very happy customer.

It certainly wasn't the most pleasant job we've ever undertaken, but seeing the customer's face go from despair to a huge smile when they stepped into a warm, bright caravan made all the hard work worthwhile.

🚐 Freedom N126 Project Update 🔧

We spent around 4 hours on Sunday making a solid start on the Freedom N126 project.

The first job was giving the caravan a thorough clean, followed by stripping out the interior so we could properly assess what we’re working with.

While everything was out, we documented all the parts required and took measurements for cassette blinds and the new furniture layout.
We also carried out a full inspection of the fibreglass shell, and we’re pleased to report there’s no damage — a great result and a strong foundation to build from.

Planning is now well underway, with decisions made on where the water system, space heating, and electrics will be located to suit the updated layout.
Once we got home, we didn’t hang about — all the external parts needed for the body have now been ordered, including body vents, a door vent, grab handles, lights, and a new door lock.

It’s a busy time for us with customer work, so the next update may be a few weeks away — but we’ll be back on it as soon as we can.

Stay tuned 👀

🔧 New Project Incoming! 🔧

We’ve recently taken on a new project caravan – a Freedom N126 caravan – and we’re looking forward to bringing it back to life!

This one’s been sitting stored on a farm after the previous owner struggled to find anyone willing to carry out the repairs it needed.

For those that don’t know, Freedom Caravans are well known for producing lightweight, compact caravans that are easy to tow and cleverly designed.
Despite their size, they’ve got a loyal following thanks to their practicality and solid construction.

Our plan is to go right through this caravan from the ground up:

✔️ Ensure all running gear is safe and up to standard
✔️ Check and overhaul the road lights
✔️ Reinstate the interior with a refreshed layout
✔️ Upgrade the electrical systems
✔️ Install modern air and water heating
✔️ Fit a 12v compressor fridge

This is going to be a full transformation, and we’ll be sharing progress along the way – so keep an eye out for updates 👀

⚠️ Battery Box Safety – Don’t Overlook It ⚠️

We’re increasingly seeing battery boxes on caravans and motorhomes that are not correctly sealed, and it’s something that should never be ignored.

Leisure batteries can produce gases during charging, including hydrogen sulphide, which is highly toxic and dangerous in confined spaces. A poorly sealed battery box can allow these gases to enter the living area — putting occupants at serious risk.

We’re also finding issues where batteries are installed within the habitation area without venting, which is equally concerning. Without proper venting, gases can build up and pose a serious health hazard.

🔧 Common issues we find:

Battery boxes not sealed to the vehicle interior.
Batteries installed internally without adequate venting.
Cables passed through battery box walls without proper sealing.
Cable glands glued on one side only, rather than correctly fitted.

📘 What should be happening?

In line with BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) and industry best practices:

Battery compartments must be sealed from the habitation area.
Batteries installed internally must have adequate external venting.
Any cable entry points must be fitted with proper cable glands, correctly installed on both sides.
Installations must prevent the ingress of gases into the vehicle interior.

This isn’t just about compliance — it’s about your safety and your family’s safety.

As a member of the Approved Workshop Scheme, safety is at the heart of everything we do. We make sure your leisure vehicle is not only working properly, but is also safe to use and fit for purpose.

✅ If you’re unsure about your battery installation, we’re happy to inspect and advise.
