Engines have internal parts, and many of these parts need to be connected. One of the Mechanisms is the timing assembly, parts (example: Crankshaft, Camshaft, Water Pump) are usually connected via a chain or a belt. If you have a Cambelt system, you will need to plan and budget for its replacement.

You will need to do some research on your vehicle, or speak to your trusted mechanical repairer, as not all engines have a Cambelt, some have a Camchain. A Camchain is usually good for the lifetime of the engine. If you do have a Cambelt, check your service book, the trigger for change is usually “time” or “mileage”, most Motorhomes and Campervans are low mileage, so the “time” period becomes the trigger for change. Example: Fiat Ducato is every 5 years.

Top Tip – record the next replacement date in your service book and add a reminder sticker to the dash or just inside the driver’s door.

Ideally, find a repairer that can complete all repairs under one roof, this means whatever your issue, you have built one relationship with one organisation. They know you and more importantly, they know your motorhome or campervan.

Habitation Service – annual costEngine/Chassis service – annual costMOT – after year 3 – annual costTyres – every 5 yearsCambelt – every 5 years (subject to manufacturer)Brake Fluid Change – every 2 years (subject to test)

The Cambelt will deteriorate over time, if it breaks, components within the engine will probably collide, causing extensive/costly damage, possibly a new engine.

Top tip – replace both at the same time. You do not want the cost of replacing a water pump (because it is leaking coolant fluid, and has been listed as an MOT fail) one year after you replaced your Cambelt.

The Cambelt is a toothed belt that connects key parts within the engine, it ensures the internal components are synchronised and do not touch each other whilst the engine is running. Some engines have a Camchain, rather than a belt, chains generally last the lifetime of the engine.

Build a maintenance plan, so you are aware of costs over a 10 year period. The good news is the Cambelt is not a yearly cost, so by planning you can budget for costs that are known but are infrequent. Here are some typical maintenance actions for a Motorhome or Campervan:

Genuine parts are supplied by the vehicle manufacturer, these are sometimes called OEM or Original Equipment Manufacturer parts. A genuine/OEM part is a safe bet, and when you consider the time (cost) in labour to replace the part, you do not want to have an issue and replace it again.

Only fit “C” (camper) rated tyres to Motorhomes and Campervans, they have extra “plies” to manage the constant heavy loads.The year and week of “tyre manufacture” is stamped on the sidewall of the tyre, tyre manufacturers recommend replacement at 5 years, it’s also an MOT failure on front tyres if over 10 years and the vehicle is 7.5 Tonne and above.

Motorhomes and Campervans come in all shapes and sizes, just like cars, they can have different features and benefits. Purchase decisions are usually made on; layout, external length, how many births, etc. The Cambelt is not high on this list, so this might be the first time you have considered the Cambelt in your maintenance programme.

Your Cambelt keeps all the valves and pistons in your Motorhome or Campervan working together, but “more” importantly, it also stops them from touching in a clever “timed” manner. If the Cambelt breaks, the clever timing fails, and the valves (8 to 16 of them) could impact the top of your pistons, which could result in a lot of very expensive damage.

The rubber within the Cambelt (sometimes called a Timing Belt) breaks down over time, this type of damage is called oxidation, and it can be caused by oxygen and ozone. So it doesn’t matter if you are using your vehicle or not, the Cambelt will be deteriorating, and will need replacing.
