Campervans & Caravans

Campervans & Caravans work hard. They carry weight, travel long distances, and often live outdoors. Over time, this leads to rust, panel damage, and structural wear. Colin West Panel Beaters repairs and restores the vehicles so they remain safe, solid, and ready for the road.

Campervans present different challenges to standard vehicles. They are larger, heavier, and often have custom body modifications. Many include cut-outs for windows, vents, and pop-tops. These areas are common points for corrosion and water ingress. We understand how these vehicles are built and how to repair them without compromising strength or alignment.

Accident and insurance repairs

If your campervan has been damaged, we manage the repair from assessment through to completion. We:

• Carry out a full inspection of panels and structural areas
• Identify hidden damage behind interior linings where required
• Provide detailed repair estimates for insurers
• Liaise directly with your insurance company
• Restore damaged panels to manufacturer standards

Large side panels, sliding doors, rear quarters, and roof sections must be aligned correctly. Poor repairs lead to leaks, wind noise, and premature rust. We ensure panel fitment is accurate and watertight.

Rust repair and body restoration

Rust is common in campervans, especially around:

• Windscreens and window apertures
• Roof seams and gutters
• Wheel arches and sills
• Floor pans and step areas
• Around added fixtures and fittings

We remove corrosion fully rather than covering it. This may involve cutting out affected sections, fabricating replacement steel, and welding repairs correctly. Treating the underlying cause prevents the issue from returning.

Project and upgrade work

Many owners choose to restore or upgrade older campervans and trailers. We can:

• Repair ageing body shells before interior refits
• Strengthen structural areas to support conversions
• Replace damaged or poorly fitted panels
• Prepare the body for refinishing
• Coordinate additional services where required

Colin West Panel Beaters provides practical, skilled repair work tailored to the demands of campervans and caravans. Whether you need accident repairs, rust removal, or a full body restoration, we ensure your vehicle is ready for many more kilometres on the road.
