Title: Camper Trailer repair in Cairns?
Post by: Brooklyn on September 12, 2014, 04:13:06 PM

Hi,
We have had a failure in our water pump in our brand new Cub camper trailer. We are in Hughenden, but heading to Cairns and hoping to get it repaired there.

Does anyone know an auto electrician or a caravan repairer in Cairns that they would recommend?

I will search the forums for a 4wd repair shop in Cairns too as we have some things to get checked on our Land Cruiser too. (I remember coming across them in the past.)

Thanks!

For an Auto Electrician I recommend Pat from Bright Spark 12v Centre, Hannam St.

Replacing the water pump is a very simple job, take a look before you decide to pay someone for 5 minutes work.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll call around tomorrow and see who can take us. For some reason Cub is not suggesting that I contact their affiliate here, but the repair should be covered under warranty as the trailer is only 5 weeks old...

I used Warpac to repair brakes about a month ago.

Thanks for the recommendations! Went to Bright Sparks today and left with a function (and newly replaced) water pump.
