FAQs
What is included in a caravan pre-trip inspection?
A caravan pre-trip inspection can include checks on brakes, bearings, suspension, tyres, wheels, lights, plugs, connectors, coupling, handbrake, seals, water entry points, battery systems, solar systems and general towing safety items. The goal is to identify issues before you leave, not after you are already on the road.
Should I get my caravan checked before a long trip?
Yes. It is a smart idea to get your caravan checked before a long trip, especially if it has been sitting unused, has recently been repaired or has not been serviced for a while. A pre-trip inspection can help find brake, bearing, tyre, light, seal or towing safety issues before they become bigger problems.
How far in advance should I book a pre-trip inspection?
It is best to book your caravan pre-trip inspection at least a few weeks before you plan to travel. This gives you time to have the van checked properly and allows room for repairs, parts or follow-up work if anything needs attention before your trip.
Do you check caravan brakes, bearings and suspension?
Yes. Carafix can check caravan brakes, bearings and suspension as part of a pre-trip inspection. These are critical towing safety items because they affect how your caravan stops, handles and performs on the road.
Can a pre-trip inspection find leaks or water damage?
Yes. A pre-trip inspection can help identify signs of leaks, seal failure, water entry or water damage. This may include checking roof areas, windows, vents, hatches, seals and visible signs of moisture before you head away.
Can damage found in a pre-trip inspection be included in an insurance repair?
A pre-trip inspection is usually preventative maintenance, but if the inspection identifies damage caused by an accident, storm, hail, water entry, impact or another covered event, it may form part of an insurance repair. Carafix can inspect the damage, explain what repair work may be needed and assist with caravan insurance repair work where applicable.
