A caravan doesn’t have to be leaking today for there to be a problem developing.
That’s exactly why a pre-delivery leak test is so important.
During an independent leak inspection, we’re not only looking for water that is already getting inside. We’re also checking how the caravan has been sealed from day one — including around windows, roof fittings, mouldings, hatches, cable penetrations and external electrical fixtures.
We regularly come across areas that may technically be holding out water at the time of testing, but the sealant coverage, adhesion or finish tells us that it may not stay that way for long.

External power outlets and electrical fittings
Solar cable penetrations
Rear light assemblies
Roof accessories
Windows, hatches and mouldings
A small section of missing sealant or poor adhesion may not leak on the showroom floor. Add heat, cold, UV exposure, road vibration and movement while towing, and that small weakness can become a water entry point later on.
A pre-delivery leak test gives the manufacturer and the new owner the opportunity to identify and rectify these areas before the caravan starts its life on the road.
It’s not just about asking.
“Is it leaking today?”
It’s about asking:
“Has it been sealed properly enough to help prevent it leaking tomorrow?”
Starting with a properly inspected and sealed caravan from day one can help reduce the risk of hidden water ingress, damaged cabinetry, flooring, wall structures and costly repairs down the track.
Independent leak testing. Prevention from day one.
