On-site caravan and trailer servicing across Margate, the Channel Highway and surrounding Kingborough area. We come to your driveway.
Your local Margate caravan mechanic
Margate sits on the Channel Highway south of Kingston, with easy access to Bruny Island, the Huon Valley and the Tasman Peninsula. It's prime caravanning country, and we service vans here every week.
We come to driveways throughout Margate and surrounding Channel-side villages. Annual servicing, brakes, bearings, leak detection and 12V upgrades — all on-site.
Coastal Channel weather means seals and hardware need regular attention. Annual servicing combined with leak testing keeps Margate vans in great condition.

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 trips around Kingborough and beyond.
