Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a caravan be serviced?
A caravan should be serviced at least once every 12 months or every 10,000 kilometres. Regular servicing helps identify wear and tear on components like brakes, suspension, wheel bearings, and tyres, which are crucial for safe towing. If you frequently travel on unsealed or rough roads, more frequent checks may be needed.
Even if a caravan hasn’t been used for a while, things like rubber seals, brake pads, and wiring can deteriorate over time. A thorough service includes a full safety inspection, lubrication of moving parts, tightening of fasteners, and a check on the chassis, electrical systems, and plumbing if applicable.
What are common signs a caravan needs repairs?
There are several telltale signs that your caravan may need repairs. These include uneven tyre wear, noisy or loose suspension, flickering or faulty lights, leaking water lines, or brakes that feel sluggish. Visible rust on the chassis, cracking or bulging tyres, and any unusual movement while towing are also red flags.
You should also look out for water damage inside the van, particularly near windows, roof seals, or hatches. Many caravan issues worsen if ignored, so it’s best to have any of these symptoms checked by a qualified technician before hitting the road.
What’s included in a standard caravan service?
A standard caravan service typically includes a full safety and condition check of the braking system, suspension, wheel bearings, tyres, lights, and chassis. The technician will inspect and lubricate moving parts, check for rust or wear, tighten all bolts and fasteners, and ensure everything is aligned properly.
Electrical systems, towing connections, and, if applicable, plumbing and gas fittings may also be tested depending on the van’s setup. The goal is to ensure the caravan is structurally sound, roadworthy, and ready for safe travel. Servicing also helps identify issues before they turn into expensive or dangerous problems during your trip.
