Professional Caravan Servicing for Peak Performance

Australia’s Trusted Caravan Service Specialist

How often should you get your caravan service? It is a question we are often asked.

Unlike cars, most manufacturers don’t include a service logbook. The team at Caravan Fix recommend servicing your caravan every 10,000km, or before any big trip.

A service can help you avoid running into troubles while you are out on the road. It is very frustrating heading off on a holiday, only to have a problem with your van. Our service is designed to help you avoid that happening.

Your safety is of great importance to us. Our team of trained and experienced technicians are happy to share the wealth of knowledge with you, and give you guidance in maintaining your caravan or RV.

The importance of servicing your caravan is something that too many people overlook. Your pride and joy was a big purchase, and maintaining it is paramount to the long life of your investment. Like anything, the better you look after it, the better job it will do for you.
