How it works

Four steps, no run-around.

  1. Email or call us with what your van needs. A photo or two helps.

  2. We quote it and book you in.

  3. Drop it to us at 67a Montgomery Crescent, Upper Hutt.

  4. Drive away with everything done and signed off.

Servicing, WOF & EWOF

Most vans come to us for one of three things and leave having had all three done. Your warrant of fitness, your electrical warrant and your gas certificate all fall due at different times, and chasing them separately means three bookings and three trips.

We do the lot in one visit.

What's covered

  • Warrant of Fitness

  • Electrical Warrant of Fitness (EWOF)

  • Gas certification

  • Full service and safety check - brakes, bearings, couplings, lights, tyres, seals

  • Repairs, from a sticking door lock to floor and wall rebuilds

  • Food trailers, same as any van

Solar installs & repairs

Solar is the difference between a two-night stay and a two-week one.

We size the system to how you actually travel – how many days off-grid, what you’re running, whether you’re chasing sun or shade – rather than selling you the biggest panel that fits the roof.

What's covered

  • New solar systems: panels, regulator, batteries and wiring, installed and tested

  • Upgrades to existing setups – more panels, lithium conversion, better regulation

  • Fault-finding and repairs on systems that aren’t charging like they should

  • EWOF on completion, so it’s certified the day it’s fitted

Diesel heater installs & repairs

A diesel heater turns a three-season van into a four-season one.

Dry heat, low draw on the batteries, and it keeps going long after the campground power’s run out. We install them properly – sealed, vented and secured – and we fix the ones that have stopped working.

What's covered

  • New diesel heater installs, ducted where it makes sense

  • Webasto, Eberspächer and all the main brands

  • Repairs and servicing on existing heaters – glow plugs, pumps, error codes

  • Already bought your own heater? Get in touch before you book and we’ll let you know if it’s one we can fit

Self-containment

Self-containment certification is what lets you freedom camp legally in New Zealand.

Under the new rules, every vehicle needs a fixed toilet and a green warrant card – the old blue stickers no longer count, and plenty of older vans need work to get there. We’ll tell you straight what yours needs and do the job so it passes.

What's covered

  • Assessment against the current self-containment standard

  • Fitting fixed toilets, fresh and grey water tanks and sink setups

  • Certification and your green warrant card

Insurance repairs

We’re an approved insurance repairer.

If your van’s been damaged, bring it to us. We’ll assess it, deal with your insurer on the quote, and you get it back fixed properly rather than patched.

What's covered

  • Accident, storm and water damage

  • Floor, wall and roof rebuilds

  • Resealing windows, hatches and seams

  • Working direct with your insurer on assessment and approval

Upgrades & extras

The jobs that don’t fit a category but make the van better to live in.

What's covered

  • Awning supply and installation

  • Gas fitting – new appliances, bottle lockers, regulators

  • Interior and exterior cleaning

  • Imported caravan compliance and set-up for NZ roads

Selling your caravan

If you’re done with the road, we’ll sell your van for you.

We check it over, sort the certs so it’s ready to go, list it, handle the enquiries and tyre-kickers, and you get a call when there’s a serious buyer.
