Caravan Service Adelaide: Reduce The Repair Cost And Extend The Life Of Your Caravan

Caravan Service Adelaide: Reduce The Repair Cost And Extend The Life Of Your Caravan

Caravans are very different from your regular car, and it’s easy to forget some maintenance needs. The basic wheel bearings and brakes should be regularly checked, re-greased and adjusted.

Caravan Service Adelaide: Reduce The Repair Cost And Extend The Life Of Your CaravanRegular caravan servicing can help reduce the repair cost and extend the life of your caravan and trailer.

Brakes

Caravans are much simpler to maintain than your car, but this doesn’t mean they don’t need servicing. Wheel bearings and brakes are two areas that need to be inspected regularly, especially if your caravan is a single or tandem-axle model.

Caravan and camper bearings are generally subjected to far more stress than your standard car bearings; they run at a higher g load (as they are pulled from side to side), have a greater weight per axle and are often left sitting for long periods between use.

Electrical

Caravans offer great freedom on the road; you go where you want to go and stop whenever you like. However, several things can go wrong on and in your caravan, like anything with an electrical system. Getting your trailer electrical services done in the Adelaide Hills before heading off on your next adventure is smart. For more information about the caravan service Adelaide, click here.

Regular caravan servicing will maintain your RV’s reliability, safety and roadworthiness and extend its lifespan. To avoid costly repairs or warranty voiding, contact the Adelaide RV Service and Maintenance team in St Marys today. You will be glad you did!

Heating & Cooling

If you like to travel comfortably, installing a caravan cooling system is a great option. It will let you enjoy cooking and relaxing indoors without worrying about overheating. It is particularly important for elderly and young travellers with trouble regulating their body temperature.

A ducted air conditioner can be fitted underneath a bunk, giving you more flexibility when directing the flow of air where needed. It’s also ideal for vans that don’t have space for a roof-mounted unit.

We can also complete a range of caravan modifications, including electric or hydraulic jacks, such as Black Jack or Trail-a-mate, making unhitching easier and safer and reversing cameras to help you when parking and reversing. We can install annexe walls and awnings to give your caravan additional living space. These modifications will also increase your caravan’s resale value.

Water & Waste

We can install an endless hot water supply with a new caravan system. We also offer grey water tank installation, enabling proper waste disposal and respect for environmentally sensitive areas like national parks. We recommend that caravans with grey water tanks empty them only at designated or appropriate dump points. For more information about the caravan service Adelaide, click here.

The Ozzi Kleen systems we use are environmentally friendly and don’t require the trucking of wastewater to offsite treatment plants. They are used by Xstrata, Santos, RACQ, Kentz Pty Ltd (PNG), Fortescue Metals Group and Bowen Palms Caravan Park in Australia and by countless private users.

Caravan and Camper Trailer Service

Caravans and camper trailers are much more complicated to maintain than the average vehicle. Many specialised skills are involved, such as replacing a blown 12-volt light globe or checking your water heater anode for corrosion.

The caravan equipment service specialists at Adelaide RV Service are here to help you get the most from your investment.

Caravans are a huge investment and should be serviced regularly. Keeping your caravan maintained will not only protect your investment but also ensure that it is safe to use.

Unlike your tow vehicle, a caravan has more moving parts that need regular inspection and servicing. For example, wheel bearings and brakes need to be checked, re-greased and adjusted.
