Caravan mechanical repairs · Calliope workshop
Noisy bearings, unreliable brakes or uneven tyre wear? Total Mobile Mechanical Services inspects and repairs caravan brakes, bearings, hubs, suspension and running gear, with auto-electrical support when the fault involves the tow vehicle or brake controls. We work on caravans, camper trailers and recreational trailers, investigating the cause before planning the repair.
Book your van into our workshop and dedicated caravan yard at 6 Wright Road, Calliope QLD 4680. Tell us what has changed and when it happens.
Heat, load, vibration and long travel can affect several parts of the running gear at once. We inspect the condition and investigate the cause, then explain the repair or maintenance needed.
Rumbling, grease leakage, hub heat or movement at a wheel can point to a bearing or related running-gear concern. We assess bearing condition, lubrication, adjustment, hubs and seals. Water entry, contamination, old grease and long storage periods matter too, so the service scope follows the condition and maintenance history.
Weak, grabbing or intermittent brakes need both the mechanical assemblies and controls considered. We inspect wear, adjustment and suitable repair needs, with auto-electrical diagnosis for controllers, plugs, wiring, earths and breakaway circuits. This helps separate a worn or contaminated brake component from a fault in the electrical supply or control.
Knocking, uneven ride height, visible movement or a caravan that no longer tracks as expected can indicate suspension wear. We inspect springs, bushes, shackles, hangers and related mounting points, considering wheel, tyre and load effects. Repairs are planned around the component condition and the way the caravan is used.
Tyre wear can reflect pressure, age, wheel condition, bearing movement, suspension, loading or alignment. We inspect the connected mechanical condition and identify further tyre or alignment work where needed. Sidewall cracking, damage, unknown tyre history and load ratings are relevant even when plenty of tread remains.
The connection between caravan and tow vehicle deserves attention alongside the wheels and brakes. Couplings, safety chains and accessible towing hardware can be assessed as part of the mechanical work. Tell us about visible wear, unusual movement, noise or changes in towing behaviour so the inspection can focus on the concern.
Before a longer journey, have developing noises, vibration, pulling or stability concerns investigated. We can assess the running gear and plan work around previous servicing, travel history and the next trip. If the caravan needs routine maintenance rather than a specific repair, our servicing page explains that broader scope.
A caravan can brake poorly or feel unstable for more than one reason. Tow-vehicle tyres, brakes, suspension, towing equipment and controller setup can affect the combination. Our team can assess connected vehicle concerns alongside the caravan when the symptoms call for it.
Electrical and mechanical brake faults can also look alike. One wheel overheating, controller warnings or the tow vehicle failing to recognise the van can require different checks. Our qualified auto electrician supports the mechanical team, so testing can follow the fault through the brake assembly, plug, wiring and control system. Tell us whether the issue happens constantly, under braking or only with a particular tow vehicle.
Our Calliope workshop has a dedicated caravan yard for booked caravan work. Having the van at the workshop lets us plan the inspection and repair around the lifting, secure support, dismantling and testing the job requires.
Total Mobile Mechanical Services brings mechanical and auto-electrical capability together at the workshop. We explain the condition found, the proposed repair and the parts needed. Where specialist chassis fabrication or manufacturer-specific work is required, we make that boundary clear before proceeding.
A brake and bearing service should reflect how the caravan has been used and maintained. Tell us about the last bearing or brake work, rough-road travel, long periods in storage, water exposure and any recent changes in loading. An unknown service history or demanding travel may call for more investigation than a quick adjustment.
Describe what you can hear, feel or see: a rumble, grease leak, uneven wear, a controller warning or a new pull under braking. That information helps us plan the assessment. Bring any service records you have, even if the history is incomplete.
Call 0456 765 135 with the caravan type, symptoms and travel dates. We’ll discuss a suitable booking time.
Bring it to the workshop at the agreed time. We’ll confirm whether the tow vehicle needs to be checked with the van.
Workshop inspection and testing guide the repair. We’ll explain the findings, priorities and any specialist work required.
We welcome caravan owners from Gladstone, Calliope and surrounds, including Mount Larcom, Benaraby and Miriam Vale, for mechanical assessment and repairs at our Calliope workshop.
Yes. We inspect bearings, hubs, seals and related brake condition, then explain the required service or repair. Correct condition, lubrication and adjustment matter; the maintenance history helps determine the work needed.
Bearing condition or adjustment, brake drag, seal problems and loading are possible causes. The hub needs investigation before a repair is chosen. If a hub is hot or a wheel is loose, stop and call 0456 765 135 to discuss the next step before continuing to tow.
Yes. We can assess mechanical brake condition together with controller, plug, wiring, earth and breakaway concerns. Tell us about any warning message, intermittent behaviour or change when a different tow vehicle is connected.
Bring it to 6 Wright Road, Calliope QLD 4680. Call first to arrange a booking and discuss whether the tow vehicle should come with it.
Call Total Mobile Mechanical Services on 0456 765 135 to discuss caravan brakes, bearings, suspension or running-gear concerns. Tell us the symptoms, recent work and your preferred booking date.
