If your caravan or motorhome connects to 230V mains power, New Zealand law requires a current Electrical Warrant of Fitness.
Our Auckland team of Caravan EWOF inspectors checks your electrical installation against the relevant safety standard and issues your campervan electrical warrant once everything’s confirmed safe, giving you one less thing to worry about before your next trip.
Whether you’re due for a 4-year EWOF renewal certificate or getting a newly built rig certified for the first time, our inspectors carry out a full caravan wiring inspection covering your supply inlet, internal wiring, and connected appliances before issuing your motorhome electrical WOF.
Every inspection is carried out in line with AS/NZS 3001 compliance requirements, the standard specific to caravans, motorhomes, and other transportable structures.
This covers areas a general household wiring check wouldn’t, including how your 230V caravan safety cutoff and supply inlet are set up. If your vehicle has been modified, sold, or hired out since its last WOF, it will need to be reassessed against this standard before reconnecting to mains power.
As part of your inspection, we carry out inlet socket earth testing and RCD trip-speed testing to confirm that your safety switches respond correctly and that your earthing is sound. These are two of the checks that matter most for protecting against electric shock on the road.
We aim to keep the process straightforward and work efficiently so you’re not left waiting around. If any faults come up during inspection, we’ll explain what’s needed and can usually arrange the repair and re-check together.
Inspectors check your wiring, supply inlet, plugs, RCD protection, and earth continuity to confirm your electrical system is safe for a 230V connection.
An EWOF is valid for four years from the month of issue, or sooner if the caravan is sold, modified, or hired out.
Caravan and motorhome electrical systems are assessed against AS/NZS 3001, the standard covering transportable structures and their electrical installations.
Common issues include faulty RCDs, damaged wiring, incorrect socket outlets, or poor earth continuity, all of which must be rectified before certification.
Only a registered electrical inspector can issue an EWOF, confirming your caravan's electrical installation meets New Zealand safety standards.
