FAQs
How do I know if my caravan brakes need repair?
Common signs your caravan brakes may need repair include weak braking, uneven braking, squealing or grinding noises, the van pulling while braking, overheating wheels, a handbrake that does not hold properly or a brake controller warning. If your caravan does not feel right when towing or stopping, it should be checked before your next trip.
Do you repair electric caravan brakes?
Yes. Carafix can inspect and repair electric caravan brakes, including brake shoes, brake drums, brake magnets, wiring issues, adjustment problems and related towing safety concerns. Electric brakes should be checked regularly because they play a major role in safe towing.
Do caravan brakes need regular servicing?
Yes. Caravan brakes should be checked as part of regular servicing, especially if you travel often, tow long distances or your van has been sitting unused for a while. Regular brake servicing can help identify wear, adjustment issues or faults before they become safety problems on the road.
Should I check my caravan brakes before a long trip?
Yes. It is smart to have your caravan brakes checked before a long trip, particularly if you are heading away with family, towing through hills or travelling long distances. A brake check can help identify issues with electric brakes, bearings, suspension and other towing safety components before you leave.
What causes caravan brakes to stop working properly?
Caravan brake issues can be caused by worn brake shoes, damaged brake magnets, poor adjustment, faulty wiring, brake controller problems, worn drums, bearing issues, water exposure, corrosion or general wear over time. A proper inspection can help identify the cause before repairs are carried out.
Can caravan brake damage be included in an insurance repair?
Caravan brake wear is usually considered maintenance, but brake or running gear damage may form part of an insurance repair if it relates to an accident, impact, storm event or other covered damage. Carafix can inspect the issue, explain what may need repairing and assist with caravan insurance repair work where applicable.
Do you repair caravan brakes in Arundel and Currumbin Waters?
Yes. Carafix repairs and services caravan brakes from two Gold Coast workshops: Arundel and Currumbin Waters on Wheeler Crescent. This makes it easier for caravan owners across the northern and southern Gold Coast to book in for brake repairs, brake servicing and pre-trip safety checks.
