Campervan Repairs at a Workshop That Also Builds Campervans

Campervans are the smallest end of the RV repair market and the most varied. A campervan in for repairs might be a brand-new Talvor or Apollo conversion, a 1990s Toyota HiAce someone converted ten years ago, or an owner-built project that worked beautifully for two summers and then developed a fault. The repair approach has to start with figuring out how the van was put together in the first place.

Focus RV does campervan conversions ourselves, so we understand the decisions a conversion makes: where the wiring is run, how the water tank is mounted, how the gas line travels from the bottle locker to the cooktop, where the floor was cut and where it was not. That conversion knowledge is what we bring to repair work. We diagnose by understanding how the van was built, not by guessing.

See our campervan conversions Melbourne page for the build side of what we do. This page covers what's specific to repairs on existing campervans.

Campervan habitation repairs at Focus RV Melbourne

Campervan Repair Categories

12V Electrical Fault Diagnosis

House battery faults, solar regulator failure, fridge wiring issues, lighting faults, switch panel failures. Common on older owner-builds where the wiring has aged or been modified over time.

Water System Repairs

Pump failure, water tank leaks, pipe joins, sink and tap repair, hot water service repair. Water systems on campervans get more cycles than on caravans because they're used on shorter, more frequent trips.

Gas System Compliance & Repair

Sliding Door, Roof Hatch & Window Repairs

Sliding-door seal replacement, roof hatch repair, window seal repair, hi-top body joining repair. The seal items that fail first on a campervan, and the cause of most water ingress.

Cabinetry & Fit-Out Repairs

Cabinet door repair, drawer slide replacement, latch and catch repairs, splashback re-seat. Common after road vibration over a long touring trip.

Insurance Repair Work

Storm damage, hail, theft and vandalism, collision repair. Approved repairer for Allianz, AAMI, RACV, Rentsure, CIL and AMA. Insurance pathway: claim number, assessment, photos, quote to insurer, approval, work.

How a Campervan Repair Booking Works

1. Describe the Symptom

Phone (03) 8383 1026 or email sales@focusrv.com.au with the van make, year, conversion type (OEM or owner-built) and a description of the symptom.

2. Inspection & Diagnosis

Bring the van in. For an unknown conversion, the first hour is usually working out what was done and where. We then diagnose and quote.

3. Repair at the Workshop

Work proceeds at Campbellfield. Single-fault repairs are commonly same-day. Multi-fault campervan refurbishment work can run several days.

4. Test, Sign-Off, Hand Back

Operational test of repaired systems. Where gas or electrical work was done, the licensed-trade sign-off is included. Workmanship guarantee in writing.

Our Slide Out in our motorhome broke just after Christmas (a bad time to break down). Paul and his staff were amazing - going out of their way to get parts and worked overtime to see that we were back on the road ASAP. Highly recommend this company.

We wanted to convert a van into a RV, a dream to eventually travel Australia. We eventually emailed Focus RV just to see if our dream could be built. Paul worked with our ideas and some of their own suggestions and came up with a final figure. We decided on that day to start our project. Ihsan and the team are fantastic. Not only did they work within our budget, but their attention to detail and workmanship was outstanding. If anyone is thinking of a van conversion, these guys are the best. Their professionalism, advice and suggestions exceeded our expectations and nothing was impossible to achieve. Highly recommended and you will not be disappointed.
