Complete DIY Caravan Service, Brakes, Wheel Bearings 

Thanks Dennis. A very comprehensive video of all the preventative maintenance steps we should be doing more often than not. Really glad you showed the handbrake adjustment screw mechanism whilst the drum assembly was removed. Makes it a lot easier to understand what you're doing when adjusting it when it's been reassembled. I guess the only thing better than packing bearings by hand is refilling a grease gun! 🙂

Thank you so much .. your explanation of everything was so helpful for this first time caravan owner at 67 years young .. Bit nervous getting out there… cheers

Great comprehensive video. The only thing that I would add is to check the emergency breakaway switch for the brakes. This is often overlooked and I have had two fail to work when tested. Easy enough to check while the wheels are in the air by just pulling the emergency cable out then trying to turn the wheels. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

Mate, thanks for sharing this. You're a legend!

Great video thanks so much

Unreal. Thanks for the vid. Best service vid I have seen.

You're a very good presenter. Thanks for the video!

You had me at … ‘Big Shed’ Mate 😃 great info, legendary stuff! 👍

Best video I've seen on this. Great presentation. I just got our new (used) van service by a professional. Mobile service and he was only at our place for 45min. Reckons he did all the bearings and brake adjustments. $570. Not bad rates for a brain surgeon. Many years ago I used to do my own on all my old trailers and caravan and will go back to doing it so great to get tips from you.

Great informative video. cheers

A very proffessional, comprehensive and thorough service. Well done and thank you for the hints and tips. One thing to note is that some vans have parrallel bearings and need to be replaced as a set. I had that on my last van and I was advised by the mechanic to do them all at once. Not sure if they were correct but did not have any problems. Thank you again for a great video.

Just about to do my first service on our van, this video has made it so much easier. Thanks for the excellent video.

thanks for posting. very thorough.

Well done, worth watching.

Cruisemaster suspension also have grease points on the swing arms. They need doing regularly. Very good clear video. Thank you

Great & informative video Mate I’m buying your van 👍👍

Fantastic video !

Very good video. Thank you

I'm just about to do the bearings on my van, your video will be a great help. Thanks. We are preparing for a 3 month trip which is starting in July, including Cape York. Looking forward to viewing your video on that. Cheers 👍

Excellent video, to the point and very factual.

Great vid.....very informative, clear and concise. Easy enough to follow to do my own next service.....cheers 👍

Regarding the high cost Tetford cleaner. One inexpensive tip. Use dishwasher tablet. Dissolve in slightly warm water apply as needed wait and flush. Done 🙂

Great video, well presented and comprehensive. I am sure you did it but I would do quick wheel hubs feel for any elevated temperature after having adjusted the brakes.

Great video, thanks mate, helped me a lot today.

Great video

Great video with a lot of deal. I have the same caravan, Highline Matrix but replaced the mud tyres with AT's that gives a better ride.

Great video mate. Thanks. Regarding the Fire Extinguisher, just give them a shake each time as well as the powder settles on one side and if left can cause it not to work 👍

Thank you!!!

Excellent Thankyou

Thanks mate, very good video. Very comprehensive and will do my own bearings and brakes now. I watched another one and he completely disregarded the inner bearings, probably because he didn't realise they were also in there. the last place I took it to said that I needed a wheel alignment after doing the bearings. I was sceptical but do you know if that is correct? thanks again

Great Video and advise, very professional. When you adjust your handbrake do you adjust it right up. I've been told I should leave it quite loose as that way it won't apply over rough roads and corrugations. Is that true?

Excellent video Maybe could have included checking and replacing the the sacrificial rod in the water heater I watched another video servicing wheel bearing and the mechanic tightened up the hub and gave it a tap with the hammer to reseat the bearings then backed them off. Do you think this is required or over kill. Thanks

Great video, thanks. Wear gloves when using solvent & grease!!

Just stumbled across your channel mate, I’m glad I did. Thank you for sharing, good too see an honest vid from someone in the know. Thanks again👍 one question what’s your opinion on greasing a ball coupling? Some say yes, some say no, what do you reckon?

Great vid. Just curious what you do with the dust bushes. Thanks.

Great info. Have you ever considered fitting a Oz Glide hitch? They are a bit pricey, but would be interested in your thoughts. Cheers

Great vid mate ... cheers👌 what do you use to protect your pvc pipework underneath? Gotta do the same on my van....

Very good, great explanation. What is your tire pressure?

what wheel nut tension do you use.

Do you check & test the break away braking and battery?

Just use some nitrile gloves mate! 😆👍

Should've used brake cleaner or hot water to clean shoes and not air blower

What’s your thoughts on carrying spare shocks if doing corrugated roads. I’ve heard they can heat up and fail. Probably also carry spare bearings?
