"Campervan & motorhomes range from big to small, pop top roof to overhead cab, Fiat to Mercedes and so on. All that is great for choice, however it makes finding a spare part more difficult. To assist, we've set up a page with some handy motorhome spare parts advice to make life for campervanners, a little easier...
Where should I source stock?
We have a dedicated section filled with a host of
motorhome spares! Our sister company Bunk Campers campervan rental, operates more than 100 vehicles on the road. That means we keep a large range of motorhomes spare parts in stock and for sale. If you're having trouble finding a part, or if you're not sure of the part you need. Send us an
email with any questions and we'll assist as best we can.
DIY or Find a Fitter?
A lot here depends on how confident you are you can do the job. Most jobs are relatively simple to do, just make sure you use the following guidelines:
-
Know what you are doing- Try to write or find a list that covers everything you need to do before you begin. Then, read it through. This way, you’ll get a good idea whether you can tackle this job yourself.
-
Have the right and correct equipment- You don’t want to get half way through a job only to find out there is a part missing.
Although some things will be better left to the professionals. Things like; sealing leaks and cracks using
Sikaflex or replacing equipment like faucets are relatively simple to do by yourself. Here is a few of
our top 6 common campervan problems and DIY repairs jobs.
Can I avoid things breaking?
Short answer is, probably not. Unfortunately, it is hard to avoid general wear and tear completely. However, there are several ways to minimise the risk of needing spare parts. They include:
- Have a working knowledge of your motorhome facilities i.e. heating & cooling system, shower & toilet etc
- Daily checks & maintenance i.e. empty the toilet or drain the tanks!
- Remember to store away & close everything before you move off (Windows, vents, ladders, loose cups, glasses etc). Check out our storage organisers for a good way to store items.
- Winterisation/Winter Planning- More on that in the next section
