Caravan Servicing in Brisbane

A standard caravan service usually includes brake inspection and adjustment, wheel bearing repack or replacement, undercarriage checks, suspension assessment, tyre condition and pressure checks, chassis inspection, external seal checks and a review of lights, fittings and safety components. Many workshops also check for early signs of water leaks or structural movement to prevent more costly repairs later.

A caravan still benefits from regular servicing even when it hasn’t travelled. Bearings dry out, tyres deteriorate, seals harden and brakes can stiffen from lack of use. A yearly service helps keep everything moving correctly, prevents avoidable damage and ensures the van is ready for the next trip without last-minute surprises.

Yes. A roadworthy certificate verifies that a caravan meets minimum safety requirements to be used on public roads. Inspections usually cover brakes, tyres, bearings, lights, suspension, coupling systems and structural condition. Roadworthy certificates are commonly needed when registering, selling or transferring ownership of a caravan, helping ensure it is safe to tow and legally compliant.

A gas certificate confirms that a caravan’s gas system is safe and compliant with Australian standards. It involves inspecting appliances, regulators, pipework, connections and ventilation to ensure there are no leaks or faults. Gas certificates are often required for registration, insurance, resale or peace of mind, as unsafe gas systems can pose serious fire and health risks.

The Heavy Vehicle Registration Assessment Scheme (HVRAS) is used to assess whether a caravan or trailer meets safety and compliance standards for registration. It is commonly required for heavier caravans, trailers or vehicles undergoing registration changes. The assessment checks structural condition, braking systems, suspension, lighting and overall road safety to ensure the vehicle is suitable for legal use.
