Approved Workshops Scheme

Approved Workshops with KamperBitz
Why is it Important to Use an Approved Workshop (AWS)?

​

The Approved Workshop Scheme (AWS) is a trusted initiative established on 1st January 1978 as a collaboration between the NCC (National Caravan Council), the Caravan and Motorhome Club, and the Camping and Caravanning Club. It is the only scheme endorsed by all major UK manufacturers and serves as the benchmark for motorhome and touring caravan servicing across the UK. AWS is the largest network of independently assessed workshops, making it the gold standard for caravan and motorhome owners.

​

Can an Approved Workshop Protect My Warranty with Servicing, Damp, and Habitation Checks?

Yes! All the major caravan and motorhome manufacturers recognize the AWS scheme. These include:

  • Auto-Sleepers

  • Auto-Trail

  • Adria

  • Bailey

  • Benimar

  • Coachman

  • Elddis (Elddis, Compass, Xplore, Buccaneer)

  • Erwin Hymer

  • Hobby

  • Lunar

  • Mobilvetta

  • RollerTeam

  • Swift Group (Abbey, Ace, Bessacarr, Sprite, Sterling, Swift)

By choosing an Approved Workshop like KamperBitz, you ensure your service meets manufacturer standards and protects your warranty, often at a fraction of the cost compared to dealers.

​

When Should I Complete My Service/Damp and Habitation Check?

Each manufacturer sets strict timelines to maintain your warranty. Check your service handbook for exact details. Ensuring timely checks is critical to avoid voiding your warranty.

​

What Paperwork Will I Receive?

When your Service/Damp and Habitation check is completed at KamperBitz, you’ll receive:

  • Approved Workshop-headed documentation with a unique AWS number.

  • A comprehensive checklist covering every aspect of your vehicle.

  • A damp report detailing moisture levels.

  • An observation report highlighting any areas requiring attention.

  • ​

Why Choose an Approved Workshop?

  1. Qualified Engineers

    • Approved engineers have undergone thorough training and understand the intricate workings of your caravan or motorhome, including electrics, gas, damp, chassis, and towing gear.

  2. Reputable Documentation

    • AWS has been the standard since 1978, ensuring all checks and paperwork meet the highest standards.

  3. Legislative Updates

    • Approved Workshops receive constant updates on the latest regulations and standards, keeping them at the forefront of the industry.

  4. Warranty Protection

    • Many dealers claim you must return to them for annual Damp and Habitation checks to maintain your warranty. This is a myth! Approved Workshops like KamperBitz can perform warranty checks with the same level of quality—often at a lower cost.
