Owning a caravan is all about freedom — the ability to pack up and head off whenever you choose. But like any vehicle, caravans need regular servicing to keep them safe, reliable, and roadworthy. Skipping checks may save a little money in the short term, but it can cost you far more in repairs, breakdowns, or even accidents later on.

Key Reasons to Service Your Caravan

1. Safety First

Caravans are heavy and travel at high speeds. If brakes, suspension, or tyres fail, the results can be dangerous. A professional service ensures vital systems are in top condition.

2. Prevent Costly Repairs

Small issues like worn seals, damaged electrics, or minor damp can be fixed quickly when spotted early. Left unchecked, they can turn into expensive structural repairs.

3. Maintain Roadworthiness

Servicing includes checks on the hitch, running gear, lights, and road tyres — all critical for legal and safe towing.

4. Protect Your Investment

A well-maintained caravan keeps its resale value. Buyers always look for evidence of regular servicing and stamped service history.

5. Peace of Mind on Holiday

There’s nothing worse than breaking down or finding a fault halfway through a trip. A full service before the season gives you confidence that your caravan is ready for the road.

What’s Included in a Caravan Service?

A standard caravan service covers:

• Brakes, bearings & chassis inspection

How Often Should You Service Your Caravan?

We recommend a full annual service, ideally before your main holiday season. This ensures everything is safe and ready when you need it most.
