The importance of servicing your caravan

You might think that without any powertrain or complex automotive systems to worry about like in a modern car, a caravan would be relatively simple to maintain. While that is often true, a caravan still has much more that can go expensively wrong than you might first think.

There is a variety of systems and parts on your caravan that either need to be serviced according to a regular service schedule or replaced if worn – both to keep it reliable and keep its resale value strong. There are also components that by law need licensed technicians to work on (such as the gas and 240V electrical systems). You risk major damage if a fault or worn component is left ignored.

Even if something as relatively simple as a wheel bearing fails on a caravan, it can mean inconvenience at the very least and a lot of damage in the worst-case scenario.

If you happen to be out in the bush travelling at the time, just getting the repair done may require a wait for a busy technician to become available. Not only might you have to wait days to get your van in, but you also have to factor in the extra expense in labour and parts in a remote location.

It’s much less expensive and stressful to make sure everything is running in tip-top condition before you head into remote areas, by getting your RV in to see a trustworthy RV technician.

This is where Dometic Service Centre comes in. A very familiar brand in the RV industry – well-known for its quality RV products such as air-conditioners, refrigerators and even portable lithium battery packs – Dometic now offers comprehensive RV servicing. The company has drawn on its deep breadth of knowledge and experience in the RV industry to ensure your caravan or motorhome is maintained to the highest possible standard.

Dometic Service Centre takes the stress out of being on the road whether it’s for a weekend away or for months on end. This is a well-known company that offers RV owners the widest possible range of hassle-free services.

Each Dometic Service Centre outlet employs highly skilled technicians in a state-of-the-art facility, ensuring your caravan or motorhome is given the most thorough service possible, with the finest attention to detail.

Not only does Dometic Service Centre provide the right maintenance to keep you on the road, it also offers the peace of mind afforded by three comprehensive service package options.

Naturally, Dometic Service Centre is the ideal place to have Dometic products or appliances fitted, as it has the very latest factory information and technology to ensure a smooth installation.

Dometic Service Centre outlets can also install gas fittings, couplings and corner jacks, external lights and wiring connections. Handbrake cable inspection and adjustment, along with wheel, brake and suspension work plus tyres, bearings and much more are all part of the wide-ranging skillset found at each Dometic Service Centre.

As for those one-time services you may need for your RV, Dometic Service Centre has you covered. If you wondered where to even start with getting an AC installation or service, Dometic Service Centre can help. Likewise with a water heater service, refrigerator service, or getting gas appliances checked or serviced. There’s even a cleaning service for both inside and outside your RV.

Modern technology has well and truly arrived in the caravan industry, and none has made such a difference as new power systems like those offered by Enerdrive. With an Enerdrive system, you can reduce your gas requirements by simply running typical household appliances directly from your caravan or RV. Simply pack the coffee machine, air fryer, and induction cooktop, and you’re good to go with hassle-free cooking while free camping. You can even run your 240V air-conditioner with a properly set-up system.

This is where Dometic Service Centre can dovetail with your camping tech needs. The company is well qualified to assist with off-grid power supply and fitment, with an extensive range of Enerdrive products on hand as well as experienced and qualified technicians to fit the systems.

Because Dometic Service Centre has extensive knowledge of Enerdrive products, a Dometic Service Centre advisor can take you through all the available options to customise a system to meet your needs. You can have your existing system upgraded and add lithium batteries or increase the number of solar panels. Dometic Service Centre can of course install a new Enerdrive system from scratch too.
