With the start of the spring season, owners of motorhomes and caravans are advised to conduct a technical inspection before the first trip. It is necessary to check fluid levels (engine oil, coolant), the condition of the brake system and battery, tire pressure, as well as the functionality of electrical equipment and the gas system. The date of the next mandatory vehicle inspection should also be verified.
