Caravan protection in the Illawarra

Caravan and motorhome protection in the Illawarra

Between the escarpment and the sea, the Illawarra is a great base for caravanning, with the South Coast on the doorstep and plenty of coastal parks a short tow away. It's also one of the harshest places to keep a van looking good.

Salt air drifts well inland from the beaches and Lake Illawarra, and it settles on the roof, walls, windows and chassis. Combined with humidity and strong coastal sun, it speeds up oxidation, dulls the finish and leaves a film that grime sticks to. Vans that sit near the coast between trips need more care than most.

We cover the Illawarra from Helensburgh down to Kiama, and work at your home or storage yard as long as there's water and power nearby. A thorough wash, decontamination and OptiVAN coating makes salt and grime far easier to rinse off after every trip.

OptiVAN is a ceramic coating made for caravans and motorhomes. It forms a slick layer over the body so black streaks and grime rinse off instead of staining, and the finish keeps its colour for longer.
