How Often Should You Service a Caravan?

Essential servicing guide for caravan owners in Kilsyth, Victoria. Learn when to check brakes, bearings, and more.

Why Regular Caravan Servicing Matters

Your caravan is more than a vehicle – it's your home on the road. Regular servicing in Kilsyth, Victoria ensures you arrive safely at every destination. Most caravan breakdowns are preventable with proper maintenance.

How Often to Service Your Caravan

Before Every Big Trip

Quick checks before hitting the road: tyre pressure, wheel nuts, lights, and hitch security. This takes 10 minutes and prevents most common issues.

Every 10,000km or 12 Months

Book a full service including brake inspection, bearing repack, suspension check, and electrical systems. For caravans in Kilsyth and across Victoria, this is the minimum recommended frequency.

Caravan Brake Servicing

Brake pads and fluid should be checked every 10,000km or annually, whichever comes first. If you hear squealing or notice reduced stopping power, book immediately. Learn more about caravan brake repairs in Kilsyth.

Wheel Bearing Checks

Wheel bearings should be repacked annually or every 12 months for caravans used regularly. Signs of wear include unusual noise or play in the wheel. Book bearing service in Kilsyth.

Seasonal Servicing in Victoria

If you caravan seasonally (like many owners in Victoria), service before each season starts. This is especially important before school holidays when you'll be towing longer distances.

Signs Your Caravan Needs Immediate Attention

  • Unusual vibrations while towing
  • Squealing or grinding brakes
  • Play in wheel hubs
  • Drifting or pulling while braking
  • Visible wear on tyres or brake pads
