Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a trailer or caravan be serviced?
It’s recommended to have your trailer, camper or caravan serviced at least once a year or every 10,000 km—whichever comes first. Regular servicing is important even if it’s not used frequently, as components like brakes, bearings, tyres and electrical systems can deteriorate over time. Servicing ensures everything is roadworthy, safe, and compliant with legal requirements before hitting the road for holidays or heavy towing.
What’s included in a trailer, camper or caravan service?
A typical service includes checking and repacking wheel bearings, inspecting brakes, tyres, suspension, lights, and chassis components. The mechanic will also examine coupling mechanisms, safety chains, breakaway systems and the general structural condition. For caravans, servicing may also cover water systems, gas fittings, electrical appliances and seals. Thorough servicing helps prevent breakdowns and keeps the vehicle safe for towing and travel.
What are common issues found in caravans & trailers?
Common problems include worn-out wheel bearings, faulty lights, cracked suspension parts, tyre blowouts, and brake failure. Water leaks, damaged seals, and electrical issues in caravans can also arise. Many of these problems are preventable with regular servicing and inspections. Addressing small faults early reduces the chance of roadside breakdowns or costly emergency repairs while travelling.
