Hi forum members , My name is Ivan, I live in Belgium, but have my motorhome Winnebago on a Mercedes Sprinter base/vehicle stored in Melbourne for unfortunate 3 years now because of the dramatic covid 19 pandemic what avoided me to come over from Belgium to Australia because of the restrictions. I plan now to come back to Australia in november 2022 for pick up my motorhome at the outdoor storage place in Melbourne. But ofcourse, in 3 years time standing outside the motorhome suffered on either the house as engine department. This week a friend brought my motorhome to a truck repair garage for the engine/vehicle inspection and do the necessary service. But the house department of the motorhome needs also undergone a complete check up! The condition of my Winnebago and Mercedes Sprinter vehicle was perfect when I left my motorhome in october 2019, but now???? My question is to find a reliable garage who works against a reasonable price around Melbourne to do the inspection and necessary repairs on my Winnebago motorhome this month. I have two addresses of motorhome repair agents/garages that my friends in Melbourne found on internet but ofcourse we have no idea if they are the right one for helping me out with my Winnebago and if they are price/quality correct? The garages names are: Roberts RV WORLD and Focus RV, both in Campbellfield 3016 at the outskirts of Melbourne. Does anyone have experiences with those garages or otherwise a suggestion for me to help me chose the right garage? Any other recommendations maybe? I thank you in advance and look forward to your replies. Kind regards of Ivan from Belgium

Hi Ivan, I have had repairs done by Swift Caravan Repairs in Colchester Road, Kilsyth, they were excellent and may be worth a look for your job.

Roberts has been in Campbellfield for decades,
A family friend managed it many years ago,

Why not contact them and ask if they still provide the services you require.
Have not needed their company myself
