You’ve invested in your dream caravan - now it’s time to keep it adventure-ready for the long haul. Just like your car, regular maintenance is key to ensuring safe, smooth and worry-free travels. And the good news? With a Kokoda, upkeep is straightforward.
Here’s what you need to know about maintaining your caravan and what it’ll likely cost along the way.
Scheduled Servicing: What’s Involved?
At Kokoda, we recommend:
- A minor service at the 3-month mark
- A major service every 12 months or 10,000km - whichever comes first
These checks help keep your van in peak condition and often include:
- Brakes and bearings inspection
- Chassis and suspension check
- Tyres, lights, plumbing and electrics
- Seals, latches and water system tests
You can book your service at Kokoda Caravans in Campbellfield, or through one of our approved service partners nationwide.
Estimated Running Costs
Let’s break it down:
- Annual servicing: $400–$800 depending on location and work required
- Insurance: $400–$1,200 per year based on value, van type and use
- Registration (varies by state): approx. $200–$500/year
- General upkeep: tyres ($200–$300 each), batteries (every 4–6 years), brake components
Tip: Off-grid travellers should factor in battery and solar system health checks too. Our Victron systems are built tough, but they still deserve attention!
Warranty That Works With You
Every Kokoda caravan is backed by a 3-year nationwide warranty - and it’s not just words on paper.
Our support team is on hand for troubleshooting, repairs and guidance when you need it. We design and build everything in-house, so we know our vans inside and out. That means faster fixes and smarter support.
How to Save on Maintenance
Preventive care is the secret. Keep up with services, store your van undercover where possible and give it a wash after dusty or coastal trips to protect seals and paintwork.
A little TLC goes a long way.
Ready When You Are
Kokoda Caravans are built tough, but they’re even better when properly maintained. By following our service schedule and investing in routine checks, you’ll keep your van road-ready for every trip. whether it’s a weekend away or a lap of the country.
