Why Servicing Your Caravan Regularly Is Important
Caravan servicing isn’t just a tick-box exercise — it’s about keeping you and your family safe, avoiding costly repairs, and maintaining your caravan’s value.
An annual service helps:
- Catch early signs of wear or damp
- Ensure tyres, brakes, and electrics are in top shape
- Keep appliances running efficiently
- Comply with insurance and manufacturer requirements
And when it’s done by an NCC Approved Dealership like us, you know it’s done right.
What Affects the Cost of a Caravan Service?
The final price of your caravan service will depend on:
- Whether it’s a single or twin axle
- The age and condition of your caravan
- The type of service (e.g. full or habitation-only)
- Any repairs or parts required
How Often Should You Service Your Caravan?
We recommend having your caravan serviced once a year, even if it’s only used occasionally or kept in storage.
Regular servicing ensures:
- Road safety
- Compliance with insurance policies
- Protection against wear and tear
- Better resale value
Plus, it keeps your adventures stress-free — and that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it?
