Caravan & RV Repairers in Cairns

A standard caravan service typically costs between $250 and $600 depending on the size of the van and what is included. Major services with brake checks, bearing repacks and full electrical inspections sit in the $500–$1,200 range. Always ask for an itemised quote before booking.

Most caravan manufacturers recommend a service every 12 months or 10,000 km — whichever comes first. If you tour off-road or store the van for long periods, a 6-month inspection is sensible. Brakes, bearings, tyres and chassis fasteners are the priority checks.

A typical service covers: brake adjustment and inspection, wheel bearing repack, suspension and chassis check, water and gas system test, 12V and 240V electrical check, body seal inspection, appliance function test, and a written report. Roadworthy or compliance inspections are usually extra.

Yes — to preserve manufacturer warranty most brands require service by a licensed RV technician. Look for VACC, AMTA or state-issued repairer licences. All VANTURE-verified repairers carry the relevant credentials and trade insurance.
