Servicing should find problems before the trip does
A Caravan Service Is More Than Greasing Bearings
A proper service should look at the systems that affect towing safety, reliability and everyday operation. That includes brakes, bearings, tyres, suspension, coupling components, electrical connections, jockey wheel, handbrake, water-tank mountings and visible body components.
Regular servicing is also a chance to identify uneven wear, cracking, loose hardware, water exposure, deteriorating bushes and other issues before they become more expensive or strand you away from home.
Brakes & Bearings
Inspect, service and assess wheel bearings, brake linings, magnets, hubs and related components.
Suspension & Bushes
Check springs, bushes, shackles, mounting hardware and visible wear across the suspension system.
Tyres & Wheels
Inspect tyre condition, wear, pressure, wheel nuts and visible wheel issues.
Coupling & Jockey Wheel
Inspect and lubricate the coupling, jockey wheel and related moving parts.
Lights & Wiring
Check external road lights, marker lights, plugs and visible wiring connections.
Body & Water-System Checks
Inspect visible body components, tank mountings, hoses and other accessible service points.
Service work with practical detail
We Inspect the Components That Wear in Real Touring Conditions
Caravans spend long periods parked, then carry substantial loads over highways, rough roads and changing surfaces. Bearings, brakes, bushes, tyres, lights and moving components can deteriorate differently from those on a daily-driven vehicle.
We inspect for wear, corrosion, cracking, looseness, poor adjustment and other issues that can affect safety or reliability.

Caravan & Motorhome Servicing FAQs
How often should a caravan be serviced?
Service intervals depend on the caravan, distance travelled, storage conditions, road conditions and manufacturer recommendations. A service before major travel is sensible if the caravan has been sitting for a long period or its history is uncertain.
Do you inspect caravan wheel bearings?
Yes. Bearings are cleaned, inspected and serviced as appropriate, with replacement recommended when defects such as pitting, rust or deterioration are found.
Do you check caravan brakes?
Yes. Brake linings, magnets, hubs, adjustment and related components can be inspected as part of the service scope.
Do you inspect suspension bushes?
Yes. Bush wear varies between suspension types and operating conditions, so visible bushes and related hardware are checked for wear and damage.
Can you service a caravan jockey wheel?
Yes. Jockey-wheel operation, lubrication and relevant wear points can be checked during servicing.
Do you check caravan lights and wiring?
Visible external road lights, marker lights and related connections can be inspected for condition and operation.
Can you service Jayco wind-up mechanisms?
Yes. Where applicable, wind-up systems can be inspected and lubricated, including cables, pulleys, riser mechanisms and related components.
What happens if you find extra repairs during the service?
We explain the issue and discuss the next step before additional work outside the agreed service scope proceeds.
