What’s involved in our camper trailer service

At Swift Caravan Services our Undercarriage Service includes a checklist of around 40 different items on your chassis and suspension system. The key areas that we will work on while servicing your camper trailer are:

  • Wheels, brakes and bearings stripped – these will be checked and serviced
  • Tyres and wheels inspected
  • Springs and shackles checked for wear, outriggers, chassis rails, cross-members and A-frames checked for damage/fatigue
  • All moving components inspected
  • Full inspection of body components
  • Jockey wheel and jacks lubricated for ease of operation
  • External traffic lights and wiring connections inspected
  • Water Tank mountings and hoses inspected for integrity and protection
  • Handbrake cable adjustment and effectiveness checked

Windup Servicing

The windup system most commonly found in Jayco’s is a well proven and reliable system. It does however need maintenance around the 5 year mark. It’s not uncommon for a camper that hasn’t been maintained to break a main cable (complete roof won’t wind up) or riser arm cable where one raiser arm won’t go up. These have often lead to a holiday finishing prematurely thus we recommend servicing these systems every 5 years.

A windup service inspects and lubricates the complete windup system. To access the system we need empty cupboards as we strip the internal panels that cover all the windup mechanism. The common areas of interest in a windup service are:

  • Condition of the main winch cable
  • Condition of the 4 riser arm cables
  • Lubrication and condition of the 4 riser arms
  • Condition of the main winch clutch
  • Connection of the pushrods and lubrication
  • Ensuring floor plates are still well anchored on pushrod assemblies
  • Ensuring floor plates are still well anchored on pushrod assemblies
