Vanlifer Repairs — launching early 2026

From early 2026, Vanlifer Repairs will provide a complete range of mobile and workshop services, including mobile RV repairs, campervan servicing, motorhome maintenance, certifications, accessory installations, system upgrades, deep cleans, inspections, and more across Auckland and surrounding regions. 

We’ll bring our custom-built mobile workshop, fully stocked with spare parts, specialist tools, and advanced diagnostic equipment, directly to your location. For larger or more complex jobs, we’ll complete the work in our fully equipped Auckland workshop.

Why Regular RV Repairs and Servicing Matter

Regular RV, caravan, and motorhome maintenance is essential for safety, comfort, reliability, and long-term value. Neglecting basic checks can lead to costly breakdowns and interrupted travel plans - but also reduced resale value.

Safety First

Regular checks are necessary to prevent accidents. They will allow you to spot worn brakes, tyre damage or electrical faults before they become serious hazards. By ensuring your vehicle meets road safety standards, you can drive with greater confidence and security.

Cost-Effectiveness

Addressing small issues early can prevent them from turning into costly repairs. A well-maintained vehicle holds its value better, making it a smarter long-term investment.

Enhanced Comfort & Reliability

Consistent maintenance keeps your plumbing, heating, refrigeration, and power systems running smoothly. This reliability allows you to travel without the stress of unexpected breakdowns.
