Mechanical
Follow the vehicle’s service schedule: oil and filters (often every 10,000–15,000 km or 12 months), brakes (pads, fluid), tyres (tread, pressure, age). Use a mechanic or specialist for major work. Keep records for resale and warranty.
Habitation
Gas — get appliances and gas lines checked periodically; gas certifiers can issue compliance. 12V — check battery condition, connections, and charging (solar/alternator). Water — flush tanks occasionally; use drinking-water-safe hose. Toilet — empty at dump stations; use approved chemicals; keep seal lubricated.
WOF and Rego
Don’t let WOF or rego lapse. Fix any WOF failures promptly. Budget for ongoing costs in your annual spend.
