Reviews of Dave's Motorhome And Caravan Repairs

P.

Dave is an enthusiastic and talented technician and completed a superb job on my caravan. He was thorough and noticed two or three small things that would help improve the function of my caravan. Dave went carefully over the work completed, explaining it clearly. Extremely reliable.

A.

Dave came to our aid when we managed to put a hole in the water pipe that goes to the toilet cistern in our camper. We had been planning on going away but thought this would put an end to that. Instead Dave was able to fit us in and complete the work within days. The work looks great, Dave was very helpful and extremely efficient. I would recommend him to anyone who needs work done!

F.

I cannot rate Dave high enough to be honest with you, he is incredibly helpful and his workmanship is second to none! I told him my issues and he gave me the best solutions. Very happy with the outcome on my trucks. This is also my first ever review on google! :) Thanks Dave! I'll be back.

R.

We just had Dave install a Fiamma awning on our Oxford caravan. He did a beautiful job. He also discovered and fixed our faulty door catch which was very lucky for us as it could have jammed at any time - all good now! He is very easy to communicate with and gives good clear instructions. He’s full of great advice and tips and so easy to deal with. I would certainly recommend him for any job you have. Very efficient and no long waiting time - thanks so much Dave.

L.

I went to see Dave because I found all these great reviews here. And rightfully so, he did an excellent job. Very professional, excellent communication and very helpful. The seals around the vents and outside doors needed to be replaced, a reversing camera installed and a board needed to to be matched and replaced. He also fixed up a few things he noticed while working on the rv and gave it a good clean as well. I definitely would recommend Dave's services, 5 stars!

M.

A tyre blew out causing damage to the garage floor of our motorhome over the Christmas New Year period. We were lucky to find Dave open and able to assess the damage and do the repairs for us. Dave is very knowledgeable, easy to deal with and his workmanship is first class. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Thanks Dave.

s.

I would highly recommend Dave for any type of service to your campervan or caravan. Absolutely nothing was a problem for him. I had a time constraint, needing urgent work done asap, which he delivered on. He kept me well informed with what he was doing. Thank you Dave! Your work ethic is amazing

P.

Dave took on my caravan issues at short notice and was able to have everything all fixed up within a couple of days. His work is to a very high standard and i would recommend him to anyone. Thanks again for getting us on the road.

S.

Dave took on a real challenge with my Caravan. Started with a rotten area under the French bed but he also found the front end was also rotten. He never pushed for any additional work gave me options of the best way forward and kept me fully informed throughout the process. Excellent workman ship all done on time and even though it cost a little more than expected he checked in with any extras before going ahead. Overall Dave went over and above to complete the job and even did a few extras without charging. I have used two other caravan repairs in West Auckland and North Shore and I will never use anyone else again except Dave. Very friendly and extremely helpful. Utterly respectful and has even given after service support. Very happy with the results and will now keep my wonderful caravan after thinking it had had its day. Feels like new and found the love for it once again. Can't wait to go away with my boys again as soon as we get out of lockdown. I was unsure as did not know anyone who had used Dave before but now can not recommend this service enough. A+ Dave thank you. I will be keeping a regular service now as leaving things for too long was not the greatest plan in hindsight :-)

J.

Dave just completed a number of repairs to our French caravan as well as a complete re-seal. Uber impressed with his professionalism and quality workmanship - a real handyman! His communication through the whole process was second to none and really impressed with the fact that he fixed few other smaller items as he came across them. I will definitely be using Dave again and so pleased I decided not to take the easy option and choose the other party that were closer.... HIGHLY recommended. 10/10.

S.

Dave kindly fit us into what was a hectic period of the year just before Christmas. Our repair was communicated to us clearly and thoroughly. Although we got some surprises, it was Dave who pointed them out as the work was carried out and he remediated. I gave polishing the headlights a go, but not a patch on Dave's effort they are unreal now. We will be making sure Dave looks after our Camper in the years to come.

H.

Dave is amazing, he repaired our 1976 Crusader Caravan for us. We weren't sure what damage he would uncover, kept us up to date through the whole process and was really accomodating with a few extras. Really helpful, goes above and beyond. Highly recommend Dave for your Caravan/Motorhome repairs. Thanks so much for all your help.

J.

We had a leak in our caravan that came up over being in storage over winter. We were recommended Dave through a NZ motor home owners Facebook group we belong to, and we’re very happy with the service. Very professional, timely, and the workmanship was detailed and on point. Highly recommend.

P.

Both my husband and I found Dave very easy to deal with right from the start. We found him very helpful and knowledgeable with advice on repairs. Amazing transformation for our caravan and we couldn't be more happier. No hesitation in recommending him for any type of caravan work. Thanks Dave

c.

We got Dave to fit a new window in the fibreglass high top of our camper. It was a tricky job, but as expected, Dave did it quickly and to the highest standard. He was helpful at every step including the selection of the new window making the whole scary process of cutting a big hole in a perfectly good wall easier. We love our new window!

L.

Excellent service and communication. Dave was able to see my camper at very short notice and was able to give me a thorough guide as to the intricacies and workings of my vehicle. I would highly recommend Dave as the person to see to make sure that your camper meets the required standards and is safe for venturing :) Thank you very much :)

K.

We are struggling for words to describe Dave, he was just absolutely amazing! 10/10 service. Our 76 Alpha caravans WOF had expired and we knew we would be struggling in these tough times of Covid to get it fixed prior to our planned Christmas holiday. We rang Dave mid week and our caravan was at his house come that Friday and it was repaired by the next day. Second to non service and a genuine guy who was extremely helpful and knew his stuff. Highly recommend Dave for any caravan/motorhome repairs and we can’t wait to get our electrics upgraded with you soon! Thank you Dave :)

A.

Dave was like a doctor and he solved the problem of my NV350. I was very satisfied of his work and the result. I will definitely find him again in the coming future.

A.

I contacted Dave about getting my caravan a self containment certificate on the 20th December!! He fitted me in quickly when he was already super busy. He was very professional in his work and let me know exactly what I needed to do to my Aussie caravan to obtain the certificate. He assured me that if I got the things changed he would squeeze me in for an inspection right up until the 24th…..Top guy👌👌👌

K.

Once again Dave has weaved his magic on our caravan home away from home. We needed our pump sorted and some cupboard latches replaced. Great work all round. He also noticed the sealing around all the vents etc were getting worn and dodgy so we took her back in and what a difference - water tight for a heaps more years. If you want anything done on your caravan, go to Dave - he’s the best and can fix anything. Neil

S.

Being a first time motorhome buyer, I was very lucky to come across Dave on my Google search. As you can see he has so many five star reviews and I didn't hesitate to book an appointment with him. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and took time to explain everything as I had lots of questions. He installed solar panel and resealed the fibreglass top for me. Everything was done very professionally, I absolutely love it. He even suggested that I buy the battery myself so he won't have to charge me gst on it to help me save money. Overall very happy with his service and he's just a really nice guy. Thank you so much Dave!!

R.

Dave attended to the resealing of the roof hatches and aerials etc on my motorhome. Dave is good to deal with and very proficient ..... altogether a good experience. Thanks Dave

M.

Dave is a real professional and did a fantastic job installing motor movers and upgrading our water socket. He also repaired some damage that I did on the way to his workshop. A real nice guy, cant recommend highly enough. Thanks Dave

A.

Very happy with the work Dave has recently done for me. His friendly, professional manner made the whole process go smoothly. He went 'above and beyond' for me doing additional work that he saw needed doing and his charges were very reasonable. Thanks again Dave, you're a legend! Andy

G.

Dave removed all body seals from motorhome and resealed. He also resealed vents and all windows.I was really impressed by his attention to detail and tradesman like manner he is easy to deal with and kept me informed as the job progressed. the motorhome looks like new.

M.

Dave was absolutely brilliant. He has a real practical, solution based approach. Always a good sign when you have to wait 2-3 weeks due to him being so busy. I have already recommended Dave to a friend who has already booked in with him. Thanks Dave, I’m so pleased a found you. (And he’s a bloody good bloke too!)

A.

Fast, Friendly and Professional service provided from Dave. Our Motorhome was checked for compliance. He also fixed our motorhome toilet.

S.

We had an Awning installed on our motorhome this was completed quickly and professionally, Dave was also able to provide an insight into previous repairs to the vehicle too. We recommend him and will be using again

M.

Dave did an incredible job of the repair within a short time frame and was extremely professional. We will definitely be coming back.

J.

Dave did a great job of repairing a damaged corner of our caravan in one afternoon so we could still get away on holiday. Thanks Dave.

b.

Dave is easy to deal with, knows his stuff and does an awesome job. Certainly will be the only place I’ll be taking my van for any future service/ repair.

H.

Dave did a great job sorting out and updating the electrics in our pop-up. Quick really detailed work. Subsequently chassis painting/repair given the excellent earlier work. Very easy to deal with, excellent communication, prompt work, detailed quoting and photos of work. Highly recommended

Y.

Oh my what a service to have close to home with complete satisfaction. Our campervan needed some important repairs outside. Dave dismantle the unsuitable bike rack on our campervan and installed a rack we could use. Dave had to do a few modification s and fitting and finished within 24hrs. What service can't rave loud enough for going a fabulous job. Such an helpful person. His charges were not outrageous Thanks Dave

S.

Dave did a great job on fixing a few issues with our caravan. We had a list and he got it all sorted quickly and for a very reasonable price. We've used Dave before and he's a great guy and does a great job. Highly recommend him.

C.

Dave was very helpful when I contacted him about a broken rear stay on our caravan. We called at his premises this morning and he got stuck in; dismantling, repairing and reinstalling the stay. He was very friendly and gave us advice on other aspects re maintenance of our caravan. Very happy customers - and we highly recommend Dave Robinson.

J.

The service we received from Dave was outstanding. He was meticulous in his approach to getting our recently acquired caravan up to standard. He clearly has wide caravan repair experience as he was able to identify and fix numerous issues that came with our purchase. He uncovered disguised previous botch ups and rectified these. All other amenities were checked and brought up to scratch. He was very patient coping with me and my scanty knowledge of the workings of any gadgets. I need multiple explanations and he was clear in his explanations to me. He has since been available by phone when I forget how something works etc. Dave approached everything with good humour, tenacity, excellent communication, timeliness, skill - the list could go on, but to sum up, I can't help singing his praises to anyone who wants to listen. The whole job he completed was awesome. Obviously I would recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent caravan repair.

G.

Dave is fantastic. He is open, upfront and amazingly efficient. The quality of his work is excellent and I really appreciated how he explained everything. Highly recommended :) Thanks for fixing the heater Dave :) Cheers Joe :)

R.

Massive shout out for Daves professionalism and quality workmanship HIGHLY RECOMMEND New to motorhoming and all that it entails. Dave installed a bike rack on that required some remodelling in order to fit. Loved how it looked both on the outside and his finishes within the MH. Very Happy to have found someone with integrity and open to recommendations for additional services without taking advantage of as a female. Will continue to use his service.

S.

Dave rebuilt the front section of my Bailey Senator caravan which had been significantly water damaged. The framing was completely rotten and had to be removed and replaced, along with the old insulation and interior skin. Dave was great to deal with and the quality of the job was outstanding. It was all finished in less than a week. Dave is a great craftsman and I would recommend him to anyone facing similar issues with their caravan.

I.

Dave accepted the job on late notice and completed it promptly. It saved our holiday. Thanks Dave

R.

I was looking for a place to do repairs on my food trailer and came across Dave's website. After reading the reviews I thought I'd give it a go. Dave was super easy to communicate with and very friendly. He performed the job very quickly and exceeded my expectations. Hard to find this kind of professional nowadays.

M.

Dave’s has just completed a modification of the awning track on our caravan. His communication, quality of workmanship was first class throughout and his charges were appropriate. I would definitely use Dave again and have no hesitation in recommending his services.

A.

Dave installed an air vent/fan in the roof of our camper van. He's done an amazing job. The job was done efficiently, with attention to detail. We're really pleased with the result & recommend Dave's business. He was a pleasure to deal with.

J.

Dave was upfront and honest. As first time caravanners needing self containment, Dave said straight from the outset that he was "flat out for the next few weeks at least (minimum 3 week wait). We told him our plans and he said, "well.. I'll see what I can do!" He called us within the week and had the van back to us the very next day! Dave gave us some maintenance tips and some things to watch out for needing repair in the future too. Great guy, great service, planning on getting a few more things done in the New Year. Thanks Dave! Much appreciated!!!

R.

Caravan was due for all Certificates Electric, Gas and Self Containment I was able to drop of at Dave's and he arranged for the different service people to do the required checks quick and efficiently all on the same day great service I can highly recommend. Thanks again Jim Gentle

m.

As new buyers of a Caravan and in for minor repairs to a leak, unfortunately on further inspection by Dave, the repairs where going to be major and estimated to be more than what we bought the Caravan for at 21k. Full assessment inspection report from Dave has allowed us to get our money back and mitigated a costly expense if they defects were not picked up early. Fully appreciate Dave's knowledge and advice and would recommend using Dave for any caravan pre-inspection and repairs.

S.

Dave installed a motor mover for my caravan. Being new to caravanning, and having just bought a caravan, Dave helped me to fix small issues and explained how things worked - which was really helpful. I will definitely be going back to him for my next caravan install or issue!

H.

I highly recommend Dave. Professional and informative - he did some nice work on my 1980 Sprite pop top. Friendly, really helpful and communicative. Streets ahead of another place I had taken my pop top to to get things done. Give him a ring and take your motorhome or caravan to him!

J.

Found Dave when driving past his place and saw his sign. Dave has replaced the seals on all of our vents and skylights as well as sorting out some other water draining issues in our Bailey Monarch caravan. Very pleased with his work. What a pleasant and professional person to deal with. Highly recommended.

B.

A very special thanks to Dave for an amazing repair on our caravan. Nothing was too much trouble. Never have we had such an excellent job done with excellent communication and good quality work that was done in amazing time. Recommend you to anybody. Top work and sincere thanks Dave. Barbara Morley

K.

Dave went beyond my expectations when working on our Motorhome! Before, I’ve always had to wait weeks to get a job done with other repair outfits!! Dave took the job immediately! He was finished in a couple of days: I’m used to waiting at least a week!! He repaired my bathroom completely! Not just the broken levers but he tidied up all the wiring behind and left the entire bathroom and in fact, the entire motorhome crisp and cleaned!! Who does that? Only someone with tremendous pride in their work and a huge heart! Other jobs that I thought were beyond repair have been attended to as well: his workmanship is so good that you can hardly see any difference from new!! I’m shifting towns so you can imagine how stressed I am: Dave made my day with his expertise, his attention to detail, his quick service and his kindness in giving more that was asked for at a surprisingly reasonable price!! One happy and grateful customer! I’ve recommended Dave to everyone! Kathy Light, Auckland

A.

Dave was awesome in giving us his expert advise and knowledge and a plan to touch up a few things on our recent purchase of a secondhand uk caravan. His workmanship was outstanding, he installed a solar system, removed old sealant and windows, tidied the windows up reinstalled them and resealed them, he replaced some bits and bobs went beyond what was expected. We would highly recommend Dave and will certainly be using him in the future for all other work we require. The solar power was perfect for our holiday over the Christmas break. Thanks Dave Amanda and Ian Chibnall

H.

Highly recommend this service. I am an engineer and a new liteweight caravan owner and seeing Dave for a consult saved me helps of research and trial and error. He diagnosed a blinker issue in like 15 min. He is very knowledgeable, helpful, and efficient.

D.

David did an excellent job in repairing of the caravan stabilizers. He was most friendly and helpful with the job and being able to fit us in.

R.

Dave did a great service on my 3 way fridge that was no longer running on gas. Fantastic service, was done overnight . A pleasure to deal with. Thanks so much for getting this wonderful OLD fridge working again.

Dave provided excellent service as well as uncovering and fixing a historical botched waste tank problem. He is friendly, helpful in advice and can think outside the box when tackling repairs. I have no hesitation in recommending him or using his services again.

Short notice repair of a motorhome blind catch. Dave was efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. Really appreciate his work and thinking out side the square to fix what could have been a very expensive and extended period of time to find/receive a part. Will go to Dave again in the future.

A.

Dave is amazing. He is organised and on to it. He turned my little caravan self contained overnight. Work was extremely tidy and he also gave me some great recommendations of other businesses that help me with the caravan. I would totally recommend him and I will be very happy to go to him the next time I need work done.

A.

great service and job. professional attitude. thanks Dave

J.

I called Dave after the brakes failed a warrant on our caravan on the day after Boxing Day. He told me to come straight over and was able to jack it up and tighten the brakes in about 45 min. He is really friendly and flexible and experienced in all things camper and caravan. Cheers Dave!

L.

I highly recommend Dave’s workmanship, he replaced broken roof vents and other items that required repairs. Dave is a great communicator, efficient and reasonably priced. Dave is willing to share his vast experience and knowledge about many aspects of repairing or making additions to motorhomes eg. solar, 12 volt systems and appliances, plumbing, exterior cladding and sealing.

P.

Dave installed a gas hob, tap and sink in my truck at very short notice. Job was completed in double-quick time, neatly and professionally. Friendly efficient service - I won't be going anywhere else in future. Update: Had my truck completely relined. Another top-class job, nicely finished.

D.

Dave was really accommodating when we needed an urgent fix on 2nd January 2020. The only workshop I could find open in Auckland. He also fixed a couple of other small things free of charge. Great service thanks Dave.

Dave was easy to deal with and did a great job of installing a tricky bike rack on our camper. Finished the job quickly as well. Would definitely recommend.

Couldn't have found a better place to take our motorhome for a small adjustment and re certification. Dave made me very welcome and didn't mind my questions or my watching him work. I'm always open to learning better ways to work.

My 3way fridge in my stationary caravan refused to reignite, and I couldn't resolve the issue in my remote location. I ended up asking for any help via FB and Dave kindly came to my help with detailed advice. He did the several discussion we had online and didn't charge me at all. Very impressive. It is a tricky issue with a potentially blocked gas line to the fridge and I am going to try get a friend over to my place with an air gun to blow it out. Thanks Dave, you are a kind and generous business owner who knows his stuff, too!

B.

Great service and excellent job. Fixed Thetford C2 cassette toilet where former owners had done a hack job on electricals. Rewired toilet electricals fixed toilet leaks put in new pump. Works perfectly now. Did a thorough scope and quote and excellent breakdown of work performed on invoice. Also fixed outside light and did electrical WOF. Thanks Dave. Highly recommended.
