Caravan & Motorhome Logbooks

Why motorhomes have a DVLA V5C (and touring caravans don't), how body type and taxation class work, importing and self-build registration, plus the dual habitation + engine service rule.

The pre-purchase document checklist for a UK used caravan — CRiS check, habitation service history, damp readings, ownership proof — and the red flags that signal a stolen or damp-damaged van.

What a caravan habitation service covers — gas, electrics, damp, ventilation, bodywork — and why the documented service history protects your warranty, insurance, and resale value.

CRiS is the caravan world's V5C — the Central Registration & Identification Scheme that records every touring caravan's identity. How to check, transfer, and why buyers demand it.
