🚐 10 THINGS EVERY CARAVAN OWNER SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THEIR TYRES! 🛞

Your tyres are one of the most important safety checks before hitting the road — and they’re often overlooked!

From tyre age and pressure to load ratings and uneven wear, a few simple checks could help prevent a costly breakdown or dangerous blowout while travelling Australia. 🇦🇺

✅ Check your tyres before every trip
✅ Don’t forget your spare
✅ Check pressures when cold
✅ Watch for cracks, bulges and uneven wear
✅ Make sure your tyres are rated for your loaded caravan

💡 Pro tip: Tyres can deteriorate with age, even when the tread looks good. Don’t judge a tyre by its tread alone!

Save this post for your next pre-trip checklist and share it with someone planning their next caravan adventure!

🔧💦 If this AC seal peeled off this easily, imagine what water can do over time…

What started as a routine inspection quickly revealed the real issue. A failed air conditioner seal can let water sneak in where it shouldn’t, leading to hidden damage long before you notice a problem.

✔️ Reseals & repairs
✔️ Insurance & warranty work

This van is about to be getting a larger awning and a bigger kitchen window, creating more shade outside and letting in plenty of natural light inside. ☀️🚐
