A caravan is a particular vehicle for people who love to travel. But, like any other car or home, it needs regular caravan service to keep it in top condition. It will ensure it runs smoothly and keeps you safe on the road. Caravans are also packed with intelligent features for efficiency, and you can explore their layouts through 360 virtual tours.

Caravan servicing is a great way to ensure your Caravan is ready for the road. It will help to protect your investment and its resale value.
A typical caravan service should include a damp test using a damp meter and general observations. The 240volt system, appliances and plumbing should also be checked.
Brakes
Caravans require a brake controller to activate the electric caravan brakes when your tow vehicle slows. These are available in two types: time delay and motion sensing. Time delay brake control devices supply a fixed amount of power to the Caravan’s electric brakes over a set period. While this is cheaper, it does place more wear and tear on the Caravan’s electric brakes. Motion-sensing brake control devices are more cost-effective and can adjust to different braking situations.
Axles are rigid components that bear the entire weight of your Caravan and require regular maintenance. Our mobile caravan service includes thoroughly inspecting the axles and their components to look for signs of wear and tear. We also check the coupling and hand brake for operation and lubricate them as required.
Tyres
Caravan tyres are the only part of the Caravan that makes contact with the road and play an essential role in ensuring your safety whilst on the road. Accelerating, braking, and steering rely on these relatively small rubber areas and should always be in good condition.
Unlike cars, caravan tyres’ age, despite not being used for the same number of kilometres, would be replaced when their tread depth goes below 1.6mm. Tyres should also be inflated to the correct pressure to prolong their lifespan and avoid tyre failure.
Caravan tyres should be fitted by tyre dealers who will weigh-bridge vehicles and advise them of the appropriate tyre pressure for their particular application. It will ensure that the actual tyre load is known and prevent over-loading, which can cause premature tyre failure.
Electrical
A caravan’s electrical system is more complex than a car’s, so it needs expert attention. A whole caravan service includes checking the leisure battery and 12V system and inspecting the fridge, stove and other appliances in the habitation area.
Getting your Caravan serviced regularly is essential to protect its resale value. Unlike cars, caravans depreciate slower, so regular servicing can save you money in the long run. A professional caravan service can identify issues like a leaking shower and prevent them from becoming a big problem. A caravan service should also include a damp test using a damp meter and a general observations report. These are all key to ensuring your Caravan’s and its inhabitants’ safety.
