The tyre check includes tyre dating. Irrespective of caravan use or mileage, it is an important recommendation that the caravan tyres are not more than 5 years old. Certainly, if over 7 years old – The statistical likelihood of a tyre failure increases dramatically. Although the tyre tread might well be within the legal limits, the composite materials age, causing the rubber to perish and crack. This can lead to serious safety issues when touring. Given the disruption to your holiday that a tyre failure could cause (let alone the risk involved), we will always make customers aware of the age and condition of the tyres. We are able to arrange caravan tyre replacement, should you require it.

These points are just an illustration of what is included. For details of the comprehensive check list that we adhere to – Please contact us
