7 benefits of regular caravan or trailer service

Regular servicing helps to identify and address any issues that might arise in the trailer, caravan or horse float, and prevent further wear and tear. This could include issues such as loose bolts, rusted frames, or faulty wiring.

Regular servicing helps to ensure that the vehicle remains roadworthy. This means that it complies with all the necessary legal requirements such as functioning lights and brakes, correct weight distribution, and proper towing capacity.

Towed vehicles that are not regularly serviced can have poor fuel efficiency due to issues such as underinflated tyres or faulty engines. Regular servicing helps to identify and fix these issues, thereby improving the fuel efficiency of the vehicle.

Regular servicing helps to ensure that the vehicle is safe to tow and drive. This includes checking the brakes, suspension, steering, and electrical systems, among others, to ensure that they are functioning properly and not putting you or other drivers at risk.
