Owning a campervan or motorhome gives you the freedom to explore Aotearoa like no other form of travel. But freedom comes with responsibility and just like a home or car, your RV needs regular maintenance to stay safe, functional, and road-ready.
At MJs RV Service Centre, we specialise in comprehensive RV and Caravan servicing, repairs, and custom upgrades. Based in Auckland, our locally owned business is trusted by RV & Caravan enthusiasts across New Zealand.
What’s Included in a Full RV Service?
Unlike a standard car, your RV combines mechanical systems, plumbing, gas, electrics, and living features all in one. At MJs, we offer a full-service package tailored to the complexity of your vehicle.
Here’s what we check and tune:
Mechanical Systems
Brake checks and replacements
Suspension and wheel bearings
Tyre pressure and condition
Steering components and underbody integrity
Electrical Systems
House battery and vehicle battery testing
Solar panel inspection and upgrades

Optional Add-Ons: WoF pre-checks, electrical upgrades, battery replacements, and fit-out customisation.
Seasonal Maintenance: Why Winter is the Best Time
If your motorhome is taking a break over the cooler months, winter is the ideal time for servicing and upgrades. Here’s why:
Beat the summer rush – avoid long waits by booking now
Prepare for storage – winterise tanks, prevent freezing, preserve batteries
Fix small problems early – leaks, rust, and water damage often go unnoticed until it’s too late
Upgrade during downtime – install solar panels, replace appliances, or plan your next layout upgrade
We also offer pre-storage checklists and advice on how to properly shut down and protect your RV until you're ready to travel again.
Custom Fit-Outs & Upgrades
Looking to add a personal touch to your mobile home? We do more than just repairs our team is experienced in custom interior fit-outs and upgrades that enhance comfort and functionality.
Popular upgrades include:
Solar panel installation
Lithium battery systems
LED lighting and control panels
Cabinetry alterations and storage solutions
