As a good rule of thumb, Caravans should be serviced at LEAST once a year or every 10,000km - whichever comes first. They should also be serviced if they have been idle for more than 6 months.

Caravans, campers and other RV's are complicated machines with many moving parts. Caravan's come under similar stress as your car from the wear and tear of travelling.  As more people take to the roads, the more critical it is for everyone’s safety that caravans are 100% travel ready.

There are very good reasons to service your caravan regularly:

• It will save you money in the long run by being preventative and avoiding the need for expensive repairs later;
• It will give you peace of mind that your next holiday will be free from an avoidable breakdown or something not working as expected for the whole trip;
• Your caravan is an important investment. A well-maintained caravan holds its value and reflects positively on your asset
• Most importantly, It will keep you, your family and other road users safe!

Caravan Fix will ensure that your brakes, bearings, axles, electricals, and mechanical components are not overly worn or damaged before you head out on the road.

At Caravan Fix we’ll do a full safety inspection and report.  This covers everything from your braking and tow assist, seals, gas and electrical, chassis and more

In most cases, a service which requires no major part replacement is generally completed in a few hours and can be booked into one of our service centres to minimize any downtime.

However, it’s important to understand that caravans and motorhomes are complex machines that are often full of unique parts!  That means that it’s not always as simple to get parts for your standard automobile!

If we have to source parts that are difficult to find, we will notify you and we’ll do our best to give you an estimate of the timeframe for delivery of the part or parts.

Caravans manufactured overseas present an entire new level of parts challenges, and we sometimes choice to design and make parts ourselves if we cannot source them.

We ask for your patience when your caravan is with us and we fully commit to keeping you informed on progress every step of the way.

The cost of a regular maintenance service starts from $340 for a single-axle caravan and from $399 for a double-axle vehicle. We’ll check bearing, brakes, gas and electrical, as well as inspecting the coupling, chassis, windows, and doors and looking for any signs of damp.

Any items requiring attention will be brought to your attention with pricing for your approval to proceed with repairs.

This is one of the most common, and individual, questions we get asked!  Many people enter the caravan market by purchasing a secondhand caravan and then determine to upgrade or update it.  Much like a house renovation, cost largely depends on the type and extent of the renovation that undertake.

Before anything else, focus on SAFETY!  Has the new purchase been serviced/maintained?  If not, this is where you need to start spending your money.  Don’t focus on the shine until the substance is sound!!

A renovated caravan is a great way to enter the market, but only if you buy the right caravan. There are many secondhand caravans on the market not worth renovating.  So, get a pre purchase inspection before you buy.  This small cost could potentially save your thousands.

Use your caravan a few times to assess what you like about it and what you want changed.

Many customers undertake a renovation in stages and as your budget allows. This can be done over a few seasons or as your income and desires dictate!

It is best to come and see us with a wishlist. We can assist with coming up with a staged renovation plan with attractive packaged pricing.

Remember, get the safety issues addressed first. These are an absolute priority.

Unfortunately, it is common that most caravans in their lifetime will leak. Caravans are held together by many seals across multiple joins. And then there are windows, vents and other openings just waiting to introduce water into your van.  The more accessories you have, the more potential for leaks.

Seals are not designed to be a one-off application. They have a lifespan like so many other parts. This means that all the seals in your caravan need to be regularly inspected and replaced BEFORE they fail and allow water into your caravan. How often they need to be replaced will be dictated largely by how you store, use and care for your caravan. Maintenance is the key here.

All seals will break down due to routine road travel due to vibration and rough roads.  Caravans body parts and windows move during travel and can pull away from the body of the caravan. Seals also shrink and expand in hot and cold weather.

Lastly, how you store your caravan will also impact on their longevity. You should expect seals on a caravan that is stored under cover to last longer than a caravan housed outside in the weather.

Seals should be checked yearly as part of your regular service and preventative maintenance checks, as water incursion is one of the costliest repairs to undertake.
