Peter and Jo Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hi Everyone, I think it would be beneficial to us all to collate a National Caravan Service Directory. Whether it be a standard undercarriage service or some unplanned repairs when you are a long way from home it makes sense to at least have a short list I am more than happy to collate and post a list but need your input The more input received the better the list For the sake of uniformity I suggest using the template below over to you regards Peter State : City / town : Business / Contact name : Address : Ph: Web site: Type of work : Comments : As an example and to kick things off for Victoria State : Victoria City / town : Melbourne metro eastern suburbs Business / Contact name : Hardings Swift Address : 114 Colchester Rd Kilsyth Ph: 03 9729 8477 Web site: www.swiftcaravans.com.au Type of work : mechanical, alignment, suspension, electrical, insurance, tow bars, tow vehicle electrics, storage, just about anything caravan Comments : lots of experience, vans are serviced on hoists 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyH Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 What a great idea Peter, this can/could turn into a 'great tool' to assist us all. Who can add to this list? And for the sake of uniformity I would suggest following Peter's template. ********* Please remember that KOG can not & does not endorse any product or service******** Cheers and stay safe 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bas Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hi Here's another:- Victoria Melbourne Trailers 1-3 Ashley Park Drive Chelsea Heights 3196 03 8773 8773 Melbourne Trailers is the Australia and New Zealand agent for Dexter Axles. The company is well known to, and does similar work to, Vehicle Components. It has all types of hardware componentry for trailers of all varieties. We had a Dexter Sway Control fitted by VC just prior to setting off on a Byron Bay to Steep Point trip in August. The DSC was fine on sealed and smooth dirt but in certain corrugated and sandy conditions it acted up. Apparently some DSC units are over-sensitive and at VC's suggestion, MT was contacted. They were very helpful and as soon as we are back in Brissy the unit will be replaced. However, while in Melbourne we took the van to MT for them to check over the brakes for wear. The brakes were inspected and we were wished a safe trip!! A very pleasant experience. Bas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
