How Often Do I Need to Service My Caravan?

Caravanning offers us the freedom to explore new places, often in absolute comfort with the modern conveniences in today’s vans. For many, packing the caravan and setting off on that long-awaited trip is a break from the day-to-day stresses of life; something we all look forward to. Until you hit a mechanical issue, that is. You had 4 days to make the most of it, and now your caravan or motorhome is being loaded onto a tilt tray, and you’re telling the kids it’ll be way more fun to have to camp in the backyard at home in swags. We know what you’re thinking; it’s not always THAT extreme. And you’d be right, it’s usually not. But the little things can break your trip too. Something isn’t right with the 12v batteries, and now you’re all sleeping in a 45-degree hot box with no air conditioning. The hot water is playing up. The Police officer who just stopped you has taken a keen interest in why you have a broken tail-light, and now he’s escalated to looking at your suspension mounts. The list goes on.

Routine Caravan Servicing – Adding Value and Saving Money

We all regularly service our cars and 4WDs, and it’s easy to put the caravan service on the backburner. But to keep your adventures safe and enjoyable, regular caravan servicing is essential. Over time, brakes, tyres, and suspension can wear out. Corner jacks and coupling bolts need lubricating, and handbrakes need adjusting. Brake linings need inspecting and adjusting, and springs and shackles need to be checked for wear. Regular caravan servicing catches issues early, preventing potential breakdowns or accidents. And it’s not just about safety; it’s also about saving money. Minor problems, if left unchecked, can turn into costly repairs. Routine servicing helps identify and fix these issues before they escalate. And when/ if the day comes when you decide to upgrade or sell your home on wheels, a well-documented caravan service history can significantly boost the resale value.
