Your local Kingston caravan mechanic
Kingston is one of the busiest caravan and camper hubs in Southern Tasmania. With easy access to the Channel Highway, the Huon Valley and Bruny Island just a short drive away, plenty of locals keep a van ready for weekend escapes — and plenty more rely on us to keep them safely on the road.
We service caravans and trailers right across Kingston, Kingston Beach, Maranoa Heights and the wider Kingborough council area. Whether your van lives in the driveway, at a local storage yard or down at the Beach, we'll come to you and get the job done on-site.
Coastal Kingston brings its own challenges — salt air on hardware, wet winters on seals and roofs, plus the usual wear from Tasmania's mountain passes and unsealed back roads. Regular servicing keeps small issues from becoming costly ones, and our written reports mean you always know exactly where your van stands.

Family-run, Hobart-based
Caravan & Trailer Handyman is run by Rhys and Sarah — a Hobart family who genuinely love caravanning around Tasmania. Rhys spent years as a caravan mechanic in Newcastle before the family moved south more than seven years ago.
With two kids, two dogs and their own van, they understand what it takes to make a rig truly road-ready for Tasmania — including the Kingston coastline, the Channel run and trips further south.

Yes. Many Kingston locals keep their caravans in nearby storage facilities rather than at home. We're happy to meet you at the yard, carry out your annual service or repairs on-site, and have your van road-ready before your next trip down the Channel or Huon.
Coastal Kingston vans tend to show the effects of salt air and Tasmania's wet winters earliest — seal degradation, roof and hatch leaks, and corrosion on brake and suspension components. Annual servicing and yearly leak detection are the best ways to catch these issues before they turn into structural repairs.
Absolutely. A pre-purchase inspection is one of the smartest things you can do before buying a used caravan. We'll come to the seller's address in Kingston (or anywhere in Greater Hobart) and provide a written condition report covering chassis, brakes, bearings, seals, water systems and more so you can buy with confidence.
Yes. We carry out approved 12V caravan electrical work, battery upgrades, DC-DC chargers and solar panel installations for Kingston caravanners heading off-grid down the Huon, Bruny Island or further south. Note we don't carry out 240V or gas work — those legally need a licensed electrician or gas fitter.
We provide upfront quoting before we come out so there are no surprises, and there's a $0 callout fee anywhere in Kingston. You only pay once the work is completed. Call or submit a quick enquiry for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your van.
