Not every job needs a full replacement — sometimes it’s about the right repair at the right time 🔧

We were called out to a caravan with a broken awning arm that needed to be safely removed on site to prevent further damage. Once sorted, we later refitted the same awning with a brand new arm, restoring it back to full working order.

A great result for our customer — keeping their existing awning while getting it functioning like new again 🙌

If your awning is damaged or not working as it should, get in touch. We’ll help you find the best solution, whether it’s a repair or replacement.

A few days on from ANZAC Day, we’re still reflecting on a truly meaningful occasion ❤️

We’re incredibly proud of my partner, who serves in the Royal Australian Navy, for taking the time to honour the courage, sacrifice, and legacy of our servicemen and women on ANZAC Day.

It was a powerful reminder of the strength of community and the importance of pausing to remember. Lest we forget. 🌺

We hope everyone had the chance to reflect and pay their respects in their own way.

🌬️ It’s been a bit wild and windy out on the Mornington Peninsula today!

If you’ve been holding onto your awning or watching your van rock in the wind… you’re not alone 😅

Days like this are a good reminder that strong winds can be tough on caravans — even if everything looks fine at first. We often see things like:
• Sneaky awning tears
• Roof or panel damage
• Seals lifting (hello, future leaks 👀)

If your van’s copped a bit of today’s weather, it might be worth a quick check over. Catching the little stuff early can save a whole lot of hassle later.

If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out — we’re always happy to take a look and keep you road-trip ready 🚐

Stay safe out there!

🐣🚐 Heading away this Easter? Stay safe and enjoy the trip!

Easter is one of the busiest times on the road for caravan travellers, so it’s extra important to make sure everything is good to go before you leave.

🔧 Caravan Safety Tip: Before setting off, check your brake lights, indicators, and electric brakes are all working properly. It’s a quick check that can make a big difference to your safety (and everyone else’s) on the road.

Wishing everyone a safe and relaxing Easter break with family and friends!

Cowans Caravans will be avaliable all long weekend for any urgent repairs needed.

🔥 Stay warm on your adventures! 🚐🔧

We’ve had lots of enquiries about diesel heaters lately, and it’s easy to see why ❄️

There are plenty of ways to heat your van, but diesel heaters are a great option, especially for off-grid travel. Efficient, reliable, and built for comfort wherever you set up.

Need one installed? We come to you 👨‍🔧

We’ve made it to Shepparton! 🐄

One of the first things we had to do after arriving was find one of Shepparton’s famous cows and grab a photo. They’re scattered all around town and definitely worth a look if you’re visiting.

After the drive it’s always nice to get set up, put the kettle on, and do a quick check over the van after the trip. It’s a simple habit we’ve picked up along the way — just making sure everything travelled well and nothing has worked loose on the road.

That’s something we often recommend to fellow caravan owners too. A quick check after a drive can save surprises later.

Have you stayed in Shepparton with your van before? Any favourite spots around here we should check out? 🚐

🚐 Caravan Roof Hatch Replacement

This caravan came in with a roof hatch that had begun deteriorating after years of sun exposure. If left water can start to get in around the seal, which can eventually cause internal damage if left too long.

We removed the old hatch, cleaned and resealed the roof area, and installed this brand new roof hatch to keep everything watertight again. ✅

If your caravan roof hatch is:
• Cracked
• Yellowed or brittle
• Leaking during rain

…it’s a good idea to replace it before it causes bigger problems.

📩 Send us a message to book your caravan in for an inspection or service.
