Caravan & camper servicing and repairs, Adelaide Hills

The Adelaide Hills' only dedicated off-road camper and caravan service centre. Maintenance, repairs and upgrades for every make and model, whether or not you bought it from us, so there's no need to tow into Adelaide or Murray Bridge.

The workshop

Every make and model

Our workshop is a specialist service centre in its own right, not an after-sales department. We maintain, repair and upgrade caravans, camper trailers, hybrids and off-road vans of every make and model, even if you didn't buy yours from us. Not sure we cover your make or the work you need? Ask when you enquire and we'll tell you straight.

With a fully qualified diesel mechanic and electrical specialist on hand, we focus on keeping your setup safe, reliable and ready for remote travel.

Never just another job on a list

Getting your camper ready, the right way.

When you leave your camper with us, it's never treated as just another job on a list.

Many service and warranty bookings involve multiple repairs, inspections and testing procedures that take time to complete properly, especially on genuine off-road setups designed for harsh Australian conditions.

For this reason, most bookings will require your camper to stay with us for several days.

If we uncover anything unexpected during the process, we'll always contact you before proceeding.

Working towards an upcoming trip? Let us know when booking. We'll work with you to prioritise urgent items and plan the remaining work around your schedule.

This allows us to

  1. 01Properly inspect and assess each item
  2. 02Complete repairs to the standard we expect ourselves
  3. 03Test systems thoroughly before handover

At the end of the day, we'd rather keep your camper a little longer and get it right, so when you head off, you can travel with confidence.

Please note: assessment and booking times may vary during peak travel periods.

What owners say

Big shout out to Damian and Jarrod who helped us with our Iconn E2 roof strut problems whilst camping in outback Queensland. Jarrod talked us through the process of resetting the lifting of the roof and keeping the working parts lubricated. We really appreciated their help and we have our bed back in place for tonight and onward travels back to Perth. Thank you Margaret and Neil

Last month we took delivery of a new Mark 6 Track TVan Muranji from The Dirt Off Road Campers in Mount Barker SA. It is our second TVan and we are really impressed with the extra room inside and many other features. The handover we received from Mike Pavey and his team was exceptional and extremely detailed. Not had this kind of service for a long time.
